The Benefits of Hiring Professionals Versus DIY

Not only can a shoddy job result in thousands of pounds wasted and a faulty final product, but opting for DIY instead of consulting a professional can result in all manner of issues – many of which are of course avoidable. This is especially applicable when it comes to installing Fitrite options, be it a complete decking set-up, a number of intricate fencing panels or an outbuilding which could otherwise be structurally unstable if not carefully pieced together.

At Fitrite we not only plan and provide the materials you need, but we also install and piece together the components to make your garden the envy of all who step foot within it. Read ahead and let us take you through everything you need to know – from the complexity of particular tasks to the importance of checking through reviews and feedback before settling on any one contractor.

What We Offer

As capable as you may be when it comes to household DIY tasks, there’s a huge gulf in difficulty between fitting a picture frame or rewiring a light switch, to installing a fully-fledged garden building or piecing together boards of decking with a high level of accuracy required. Whether composite decking, traditional garden decking or uPVC fencing is the installation in question, you may quickly find that you’ve bitten off more than you can chew with a fully-fledged project.

With hundreds, if not thousands of collective jobs under our belts, trust our experienced team to create your dream deck that complements your home and enhances your outdoor living. As the demand grows for sustainable, durable and visually appealing garden utilities, we’re always looking to expand our selection, keeping pace with the competition in innovative ways, and improving our offering when it comes to decking installation services.

Tackling Complex Tasks

As can be seen within our website Gallery page, we excel within a range of contexts – whether installing decking within a cramped and limited garden space or an expansive area with many specific requirements and additions. Among the perks of working with us are an active 10 year warranty on your Fitrite installation, as well as:

• A professional design service
• Competent and efficient project management
• Proven layout expertise
• Savings on future repair costs
• Safety compliant installation
• Child and pet friendly servicing
• A weather resistant finish
• Further mould resistance

When scoping out any local contractor, it’s vitally important to make sure they’ve had plenty of experience in an array of contexts – therefore you should look to make a beeline for any ‘Previous Projects’, ‘Gallery’ or ‘Case Studies’ page. These should usually provide you with an overview of any specialties, limitations and areas of excellence.

Proven Expertise And Recommendations

You can take a lot from simply browsing reviews and appraisals of a potential professional hire, with plenty of dedicated sites designed to summarise and offer a focused look at the service in question. Be wary of professionals only including a brief snippet of their reviews, discounting those which are negative and opting only to showcase glowing testimonials. A look at their Google profile should produce some reviews, while Trustpilot exists to grade tradespeople on a number of metrics including quality of service, punctuality and more. 

At Fitrite, we include the Trustpilot banner on our website due in large part to our pool of positive reviews and glowing feedback. Recognised as ‘Excellent’ with over 300 reviews and counting, at the time of writing, 89% of our customers to leave a review have given us 5 stars, with our quality of service and standard of workmanship seen as particular highlights.

Going Bespoke vs Expert Decking Installation

There are unfortunately limitations when it comes to bespoke furniture and DIY installation, with our Fitrite experts able to produce components to measure, after thoroughly assessing and checking your available space and preferences. Often a team job, which benefits from multiple sets of eyes and hands, you’re best-equipped to have decking, fencing and outbuildings built within your garden if the installation has been measured in advance, and the components fit into your home’s exterior in a structured manner.

Margins For Error

As we’ve established, following video tutorials or loosely following paper instructions allows for error to creep in – certainly not ideal as far as safety is concerned. In dealing with the construction of fragile and fiddly uPVC or composite, you’ll want to be confident of the process before beginning, otherwise time and money could be wasted. As we arrive with countless projects under our belts, we know to dot every I and cross every T – with meticulous attention to detail as far as design and installation are concerned.

Far away from reducing the value of your premises with shoddy work, our experts will offer tailored quotes and recommendations to enhance your property’s value, and as a nationally trusted decking supplier, we take pride in delivering premium offerings to homeowners across the country. Experience the difference with our decking installation services.

Assorted Design Options

Assorted design choices and compatible accessories are a great choice for any garden, and below we’ve gone into some more detail on three of our primary options. Whether sourcing an accurately measured set of decking for your modern garden space or having fencing installed to separate you and your neighbours boundaries, learn more below:

Decking

Say goodbye to constant maintenance with Fitrite’s composite and uPVC garden decking options. Our innovative materials are engineered for durability, ensuring your deck remains in pristine condition for years to come. Available in a number of unique finishes, our durable, versatile, and aesthetically appealing decking options transform your garden into a stunning retreat. Key accessories to pair with decking includes hot tubs, balustrades and stairways.

Fencing

The team at Fitrite can design unique fencing plans for your garden to create a private enclosure that is attractive and befitting to surroundings. Consider the appeal of composite fencing, the perfect marriage between timber and polymer – giving you the best of both worlds, capped in a multi-purpose protective layer. Alternatively, our uPVC fences can replace your existing timber panels to create the illusion of a wooden fencing set-up, except with more style, richer colour, and greater durability.

Outbuildings

Our unique garden rooms are designed with style, strength, and simplicity in mind. Crafted from a steel structural frame and recognisable Fitrite uPVC cladding, our bespoke garden rooms are built using high energy efficient building materials. Enjoy your warm, dry space – which you will be able to enjoy all year round. Unlike other outbuildings and garden rooms, yours won’t rot, warp, split, crack or creep, refusing to contract when moisture content is concerned.
