Those Victorian terraces near the town centre often hide surprisingly spacious rear gardens just waiting for the right touch. Composite decking has become the go-to choice for DA1 residents who want beautiful outdoor spaces without sacrificing their weekends to maintenance. Unlike traditional timber that struggles with moisture from the nearby Thames, these modern boards shrug off everything from summer barbecue spills to November downpours.
Installation begins with precise ground preparation, crucial given Dartford's clay-rich soil that shifts with the seasons. Steel subframes create rock-solid foundations, while hidden fixings eliminate unsightly screws marring the surface. Each board locks seamlessly into place, forming a splinter-free expanse that stays cool underfoot even during those rare but glorious heatwaves. The result mirrors natural wood grain so convincingly, your neighbours in Crayford might ask which tropical hardwood you've imported.
Twenty years fitting decks across North Kent means understanding exactly which products handle our local conditions best. Every project receives the same meticulous attention, whether it's a compact courtyard in old Dartford or sprawling gardens towards Greenhithe.

Most DA1 properties see costs between £95-140 per square metre fully installed. A standard 25m² deck for a typical Dartford semi usually falls around £2,800-3,500, including all groundwork and finishing touches.
Absolutely - from the historic quarter near Holy Trinity Church right through to new developments towards Bexley borders. Regular projects span all DA1 postcodes plus neighbouring Crayford and Greenhithe areas.
Standard residential decks take 3-5 days from breaking ground to hosting your first gathering. Larger or more complex designs might extend to a week, particularly if significant levelling is needed.
Your decking carries manufacturer backing for a full decade against fading, staining and structural issues. Installation work includes separate coverage ensuring perfect fitting and ground preparation that stands the test of time.
These boards handle substantial weight without concern - from hefty oak dining sets to hot tubs. The reinforced polymer core distributes loads evenly, preventing the sagging or warping that plagues traditional timber decks.
