This project started with a new homeowner wanting to extend their decking in their rear garden. Although the decking boards themselves were Yellow Balau Hardwood, the frame was in need of some repairs and the staircase was simply unsafe. The project concluded with the client selecting this specific Glass Ballustrade Decking installation in Kingston Upon Thames KT2
The goal was to expand the upper area to provide a more functional outdoor seating area for this foodie family. It quickly grew arms and legs with a vastly superior staircase, glass and stainless steel ballustrade, refinishing their exterior Larch cladding, doors, and windows, installing Jacksons Fencing in the front garden fencing, and that’s just from us. Another great group of landscapers redid the rest of the lower garden with a new path, rotivating and returfing, a new shed, and more.
Decking Frame & Bearers
We extended the existing decking outwards into the garden. This Yellow Balau Hardwood Decking Installation required adding new joists, bearers, and a new run of posts to support the leading edge. For this job we used 6 Millboard Composite Posts and Jacksons Fencing Decking Joists and Bearers.
Hardwood Decking and Staircase Installation
We used smooth Yellow Balau Hardwood Decking to match the existing decking. In a short amount of time the colours of the old and the new will match perfectly. We created a herringbone pattern where the old and the new decking boards met to make the transition a feature versus trying to hide the joint.
The Staircase was custom built with three bespoke stringers made on site. The previous staircase was running parallel to the rear of the house, we extended it directly out into the side of the garden.
Glass Ballustrade Installation with Stainless Steel Posts and Handrail
The Glass Ballustrade and Stainless Steel posts and Handrail are from Q-Railing, supplied by oue good friends at Arbordeck. The Glass Ballustrade is the main feature of this deck project now as it provides a continuous view from the Kitchen and Dining Area out to the rear of this garden. It no longer feels like several separate areas, which was always the goal. More information on Arbordeck Railings is available here https://www.arbordeck.co.uk/railing/
