Burgate, Fordingbridge – Replacement Balcony & Decking

Burgate, Fordingbridge – Replacement Balcony & Decking

PWH Building has maintained this lovely local property for several years, so when the existing balcony and decking structure began to show its age, the client trusted us to take on the full replacement.

The existing timberwork was carefully removed and the new design was formed to match the aesthetics of the original period structure—honouring the home’s heritage.

Before

After

Project features:

  • New ground- and first-floor balconies and decking
  • Locally sourced timber from Cracknells Timber for authentic appearance
  • Decorative sweeping details and bracing restored to original character
  • Powder-coated metal cappings ensuring long-term weathering protection

The finished structure blends seamlessly with the property and surrounding landscape, improving usability and enhancing the home’s charm and value.

Phil and his team built a 3 bay car garage for us, in traditional brick and slate to match the main house. It was a complicated sloping site involving piling and reinforced raft construction. Bricks sourced were matching imperial size which were hard to find, and the overhanging eaves had carved timber corbels which had to be specially made. The slated roof was hipped and very prominent so the quality of slating needed to be high.
The on- site team were a great group of people and were friendly and professional. There was good forward planning and attention to detail and the whole company is very responsive, and they genuinely are concerned to put out good quality workmanship.
On the office side, record keeping was good and comprehensive. We found their way of working to be very co-operative. In my ‘other life’ I am a Building Surveyor and have spent many years working with contractors, and would say that PWH are up with some of the best I have worked with in terms of organisation, quality and friendliness.

PWH Building are a bit of an enigma in our current climate of trades and builders. PWH delivered an extensive building project for me, on budget and on time.

Their no nonsense, nothing is too much trouble approach was truly refreshing.

The team were highly professional in their approach to sensitive neighbours, and worked seamlessly with other contractors. If you are looking for trusted building professionals, I would highly recommend the PWH Team. Let them take the stress out of your project.
