Decking for Lowton Gardens
Lowton gardens, especially the bigger plots around Lowton Common, have the room for decking to be more than a landing outside the back door. Family-sized decks with space for a table, a corner sofa and the barbecue are the regular ask here, and hot tubs are close behind. We build timber and composite decking across Lowton and, being three miles from our Leigh base, we can usually get out to quote within days.
We cover Lowton and the surrounding area: Lane Head, Lowton St Mary’s, Lowton Common, Lowton Village, Byrom and beyond (WA3).

What’s Included
Bigger decks lean harder on the frame, so we build them accordingly: more posts, closer centres and bracing where the span asks for it. Hot tub areas get the structure calculated for the filled weight, not the showroom weight. Boards, steps and balustrades finish the job, and the site is left spotless.

How It Works
Decking in Lowton, FAQs
Yes, if the frame is built for it. A filled tub with people in it can weigh well over two tonnes, so that section of the deck gets extra posts and doubled joists, or the tub sits on a concrete pad with the deck built around it. Tell us at the quote and we design for it from the start.
Composite needs a hose down and a sweep. Timber wants a wash each spring and an oil every year or two to keep the colour. Either way, keeping the gaps clear of leaves lets the frame breathe, and that is what makes the years difference underneath.
It comes down to budget and appetite for upkeep. Treated timber is cheaper to buy and easy to repair, but needs a clean and re-oil every year or two to stay looking good. Composite costs more up front and then more or less looks after itself. In shaded gardens where timber greens over fast, composite is usually worth the extra.
A properly built timber deck on a sound subframe should give you 15 years or more with basic care. Quality composite boards are typically guaranteed for 20 to 25 years. In both cases the subframe matters more than the boards, which is why we never skimp on it.
Yes, and that is where decking beats paving hands down. The frame takes up the slope, so you get a perfectly level surface without moving tonnes of soil. Split-level decks with a step or two between them work well on steeper plots.
