Decking Installation in Chalfont St Giles
Composite, hardwood and timber decking in Chalfont St Giles, from a family-run team based in Hazlemere.
Decking Installers in Chalfont St Giles
We build decking across Chalfont St Giles, Jordans, Seer Green and the southern side of Little Chalfont.
The village sits in the Misbourne valley, where parts of the parish lie in flood zones, so a deck’s frame needs to sit clear of damp ground with air moving beneath it. South towards Jordans and Seer Green the soil is free-draining loam, which makes for an easier build.
The interwar and post-war houses north of the A413 and the newer closes such as Kirby Close and Bramble Mead often have gardens that suit a deck by the back door.
Jordans Lane and Twitchells Lane are narrow enough in places that large lorries can barely pass each other, and several Jordans estates are private roads.

Choosing the Right Decking
Our decking installation services cover three materials, each with its own look and upkeep. We will help you pick the one that suits your garden.
-
Composite decking
Modern decking boards made from wood fibre and recycled plastic. They do not rot, splinter or need staining, and a wash keeps them clean. Composite can last 20 to 25 years, far longer than timber.
-
Timber decking
Pressure-treated softwood is the traditional wood decking, with a natural look and feel, and it can be cut to almost any shape. It needs cleaning and re-treating every year or two to keep rot and greying at bay.
-
Hardwood decking
Dense hardwoods are naturally durable and very hard-wearing. Left alone they weather to a soft silver grey, or an annual oil keeps their colour. Look for timber from certified, well-managed forests.

Decking Questions from Chalfont St Giles
Does the ground in Chalfont St Giles affect decking?
On the Misbourne valley floor parts of the parish are in flood zones, so the frame needs to sit clear of damp ground with air moving beneath it. South towards Jordans the soil drains freely, which makes for an easier build.
Which decking suits a Chalfont St Giles garden?
The interwar and post-war houses north of the A413 and the newer closes often have gardens that suit a deck by the back door, in timber, hardwood or composite.
Do you build decking in the villages around Chalfont St Giles?
Yes. As well as Chalfont St Giles itself, we cover Jordans, Seer Green, Three Households, Little Chalfont, Chalfont St Peter, Chalfont Grove, Stratton Chase and The Vache, and the rest of the HP8 postcode area.
How long does it take to build a new deck in Chalfont St Giles?
It depends on the size, the boards you choose and how level the ground is. Once we have measured up, your quote includes a timescale, so you know how long we will be on site before we start.
What types of decking does FirstScapes build in Chalfont St Giles?
We build composite, timber and hardwood decks in Chalfont St Giles, with the steps, lighting and hidden fixings that go with them. You can compare them in the section above.
Is composite or timber decking better?
Composite lasts longer, typically 20 to 25 years, and never needs staining or treating. Timber has a natural look and feel but needs cleaning and re-treating every year or two, or it can rot. We will talk you through both when we visit.
Can FirstScapes replace or extend an old deck in Chalfont St Giles?
Yes. We take up rotten boards and a failing frame and build a new one on a sound frame, or extend what you have to give you more space. Anything more than 30cm off the ground usually need planning permission, so we check that first.
How much does it cost to build a deck in Chalfont St Giles?
It depends on the size, the boards you choose and the ground underneath. We need to measure it up and look at the site before we can give you a price, so we offer a free, no-obligation quote. Call 01494 812249 or use the form at the top of the page.
