Engineering Decking Repairs for Aberdeen Moisture & Frost Factors
Tackling Trapped Moisture & Subframe Rot
In damp areas like Danestone, Bridge of Don, and Dyce, deck frames built too low to the ground collect standing rainwater. We increase under-deck airflow gaps and wrap exposed joists in heavy butyl tape to stop trapped water from rotting subframe timber.
Fixing Frost Heave & Post Sinkage in Clay
Aberdeenshire's heavy granite clay subsoil expands and contracts during severe winter frost thaw cycles. Sunken deck posts are re-supported on deep concrete footings excavated down to stable granite subsoil strata.
Anti-Slip Surface Restoration
Older timber decks in shaded Aberdeen gardens accumulate slippery green algae. We strip rotten surface boards, apply anti-fungal treatments, and retrofit slip-resistant capped composite boards for safe year-round use.
