Decking & Fencing in Combe Down
Decking and fencing — often quoted together as one garden project. TM Carpentry builds subframe, fits boards, sets posts and panels. Material choice is the main decision: softwood is the budget option, hardwood lasts longer, composite is low-maintenance but mid-priced. We talk through what fits the site, the use and the budget.

About Combe Down
What decking and fencing typically look like in Combe Down
Combe Down gardens are significantly wider than central Bath's — the 1930s semis and post-war detached houses have 12–20m of usable rear garden depth. Slopes are common across the ridge, with terraced gardens stepping down from the houses. The wider plots here support larger decking projects and full rear re-fencing.
Honest note: The descriptions below are generalisations — what's typical or commonly found in Combe Down, based on the area's documented garden sizes and house types. Every property is different, so Tom will always confirm what's actually there on the site visit before quoting.
Common jobs
Common decking + fencing patterns in Combe Down
Common Combe Down patterns: 5m × 4m or 5m × 5m decking on the 1930s semi rear gardens, multi-level decking on the sloping gardens (with adjustable pedestals for level changes), full rear re-fencing (6–10 panels per project) on the post-war detached houses, and front garden boundaries in a range of materials (timber, Bath stone, render).
Material choices typical for Combe Down
Combe Down jobs span the full material range — softwood close-board (budget), cedar (premium), composite (low-maintenance), and hardwood (premium look, long lifespan). The wider gardens justify the higher material costs. The ridge-top setting means cedar and hardwood are popular because they weather well in the exposed position.
Planning & permissions
The planning context in Combe Down
Combe Down properties are mixed — the village core (Victorian stone-built terraces) falls inside the Bath Conservation Area and needs planning for front boundaries, while the wider ridge (1930s semis, post-war detached) usually has PD rights intact for rear fencing and decking. Tom will tell you on the site visit which side of the line your property sits on.
