Decking Installation
Create a stylish, functional outdoor space with custom decking installation that extend your living area into the fresh air.
Decking is a flat outdoor platform. Typically, it is made of wood or composite material. This platform is raised above the ground and either connected to a building or freestanding in a garden. As a result, professional decking installation creates a usable, stylish space. It is perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or even enhancing your landscape design. Moreover, decking is available in natural timber and low-maintenance composite. It adds charm, value, and functionality to outdoor areas. Additionally, it’s custom-built to match your home’s style and withstand various weather conditions. It also requires minimal upkeep—therefore, making decking installation an excellent investment for modern outdoor living.

Our Decking Installation Process
At Gorilla Flooring, our decking installation service is designed to be smooth, stress-free, and tailored to your outdoor space. From start to finish, we handle every detail with care and precision.
1. Consultation & Site Assessment
We begin with an on-site consultation to understand your needs, style preferences, and how you plan to use the space. This helps us recommend the best materials and layout for your decking project.
2. Design & Planning
Based on your requirements, we help you choose from a variety of decking styles and materials—including natural timber and low-maintenance composite options. We’ll advise on layout, edging, access points, and optional features like built-in lighting or balustrades.
3. Ground Preparation
Proper groundwork is essential for a long-lasting deck. To begin with, our team ensures the area is cleared, levelled, and securely framed with pressure-treated joists. Additionally, for raised or uneven ground, we install reinforced supports and footings to enhance stability.
4. Expert Installation
Once the base is prepared, we then professionally fit the decking boards with precision, ensuring tight spacing, clean lines, and secure fixings throughout. In addition, we also incorporate drainage and airflow considerations to further protect the structure over time.
5. Finishing Touches
To complete the look and functionality, we can add steps, skirting, handrails, and more. We’ll also offer advice on protective treatments, stains, and sealing for wood decking, or cleaning and care tips for composite surfaces.
Our goal is to deliver a high-quality, durable outdoor space you can enjoy for years to come—finished on time and within your budget.

DO YOU SUPPLY AND FIT OR FIT ONLY?

CAN YOU HELP ME CHOOSE THE RIGHT DECKING FOR MY HOME OR BUSINESS?
Yes, we can! Choosing the right decking truly makes a big difference to the look, feel, and functionality of your outdoor space. Whether you’re after a natural timber finish or, alternatively, low-maintenance composite decking, we’ll guide you through the options based on your needs, style, and budget.

HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL DECKING PROJECT TAKE?
The duration of a decking project can vary depending on several factors. For example, these include the size and layout of the space. Additionally, it depends on the type of decking materials used, such as timber or composite. Furthermore, groundwork or preparation may be needed, like clearing the area or levelling the ground. In some cases, building a raised structure may also be necessary. Typically, smaller decking jobs might take only a few days. On the other hand, larger or more complex projects can take a week or more. Nevertheless, we always aim to work efficiently without cutting corners. Most importantly, you’ll receive a clear, realistic timeline before your project begins.
CAN YOU REMOVE OLD DECKING BEFORE INSTALLING NEW DECK?
Yes, we can remove old decking before installing your new one. First, our team will carefully take apart and dispose of the existing structure. Then, we prepare the area properly to ensure a fresh, high-quality installation. Please note: removal and disposal may include an extra charge, as this depends on the size and condition of the old deck. Furthermore, we’ll assess all details during your quote. Finally, you’ll receive a clear explanation of the full process before we begin.
