Composite Decking in Holt

Low maintenance for homes that are not always occupied

A good proportion of the houses we work on in Holt are second homes or holiday lets, and nobody wants to spend the first day of a weekend sanding and oiling a deck. Trex boards do not rot, splinter or need staining, they are wiped down with soapy water, and the colour is stable in sun and salt air. The residential warranties run up to fifty years, so the deck will outlast most of the kitchen.

Colours that work with flint and brick

Holt is a flint and red-brick town, and the right board colour makes a big difference. Foggy Wharf and Rocky Harbor greys from the Enhance range sit quietly against flint walls, Toasted Sand and Calm Water suit pale rendered cottages, and the Transcend Lineage colours such as Island Mist and Jasper give a richer, oiled-hardwood look for larger country gardens. We bring samples to the site visit so you can see them against your own walls.

Courtyards, levels and steps

Town gardens behind the High Street and Bull Street are often small, walled and on a change of level. We build the sub-frame to suit, so a deck can bridge a step down from the kitchen, wrap around a raised bed or create a level terrace where the ground slopes. Hidden fastenings give a clean surface, and we can add steps, fascia boards and lighting for the evenings.

Conservation area and listed houses

Much of central Holt is a conservation area and many houses are listed. A ground-level deck in a rear garden rarely needs consent, but raised platforms near boundaries can, so we give you the height and footprint in writing to check with North Norfolk District Council before we start. As a Trex Platinum Installer we fit to the manufacturer’s specification, which keeps the warranty valid.
