Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to build a deck in Newcastle?
Most residential decks can be completed within 1-3 weeks, depending on size and complexity. Factors affecting timeline include design complexity, material availability, weather conditions, and council approval processes. We’ll provide a detailed schedule during the planning phase.
Do I need council approval for a deck in Newcastle?
Many decks require development approval or a complying development certificate from Newcastle City Council. Requirements depend on factors including deck height, proximity to boundaries, and whether your property is in a heritage area. We’ll advise you on approval requirements and can assist with the application process.
What's the best decking material for Newcastle's climate?
Both timber and composite materials perform well in Newcastle’s coastal environment when properly installed and maintained. Composite decking is extremely durable and can withstand harsh Australian conditions, requiring minimal maintenance. Hardwood timber offers natural beauty and, with regular maintenance, can last decades. We’ll recommend the best option based on your budget, maintenance preferences, and aesthetic goals.
How much does decking cost in Newcastle?
Decking costs vary significantly based on materials, size, design complexity, and site accessibility. As a general guide, basic timber decks might start from $300-$400 per square metre, whilst premium hardwoods or composite materials range from $400-$700+ per square metre. We provide free, no-obligation quotes tailored to your specific project.
How do I maintain my timber deck?
Timber decks benefit from regular cleaning and periodic oiling or staining (typically every 1-3 years depending on exposure). We recommend sweeping regularly to prevent debris build-up, cleaning with a deck cleaner annually, and inspecting for any loose boards or fasteners. We offer maintenance services and can provide detailed care instructions specific to your decking material.
Can you build decks around pools?
Absolutely! We specialise in pool surrounds and can create safe, attractive decking around swimming pools. We ensure compliance with pool fencing regulations and use materials that perform well in wet conditions and resist algae growth.
What's the difference between hardwood and treated pine decking?
Hardwood timber (such as spotted gum or ironbark) offers natural durability, density, and resistance to rot and insects. It’s more expensive but requires less frequent maintenance and lasts longer. Treated pine is chemically treated for protection, offers good value, and performs well with regular maintenance. Both are excellent choices for Newcastle decks depending on your budget and preferences.
Do you offer warranties on your work?
Yes, we provide comprehensive warranties covering both workmanship and materials. Warranty periods vary depending on materials used, but we stand behind the quality of our work and use suppliers who offer strong manufacturer warranties on their products.
