If you want a smarter, safer and more usable garden space, professionally installed decking is one of the best upgrades you can make. Aston Brothers Carpentry Ltd design and install high-quality timber and composite decking from our base in Burnham-on-Sea, North Somerset, covering Somerset and Devon and regularly working in and around Bristol, Taunton, and Exeter.
We build decking properly—solid subframes, correct fixings, clean edges, and practical finishing—so your deck looks great, feels stable underfoot, and lasts.
Why Professional Decking Installation Matters
Decking failures usually come from poor ground preparation, weak framing, incorrect spacing, or the wrong fixings. Done correctly, decking gives you:
- A level, usable outdoor area for seating, dining and entertaining
- Improved access for sloped or awkward gardens
- A cleaner transition from patio/doors to lawn
- Strong kerb appeal and practical outdoor living space
- A structure built to handle UK weather year-round
Timber vs Composite Decking
We’ll advise you on the best option for your property, budget, and maintenance expectations.
Timber Decking
- Natural look and traditional finish
- Often lower initial cost
- Requires periodic cleaning and treatment to maintain appearance
Composite Decking
- Low maintenance and consistent finish
- Highly resistant to rot and fading (brand dependent)
- Higher upfront cost, but reduced ongoing treatment
