How the job is done

CCH Joinery builds decking and garden structures, including decks with steps and lighting, pergolas and log cabin summerhouses.

A deck is only as good as the frame under it. We build a level subframe on a firm base, with the joists spaced to suit the boards being used, then fix the boards, fascia and steps. That is what stops a deck bouncing, sagging or holding water.

Pergolas and summerhouses are set out square and level, with a solid base, so they stay true as the seasons change. We’ll talk through the size, position and finish with you before we price it.

Questions people ask

Do I need planning permission for decking?

Often not, but a raised deck or platform more than 30 cm above the ground usually needs planning permission, and different rules can apply to listed buildings and conservation areas. Check with your local planning authority before you commit. This is general guidance, not legal advice.

Can you build steps down from the deck?

Yes. Steps are part of the job, and our gallery shows a deck with steps down to the lawn.
