Garden Bridge Refurbishment & Decking Replacement in Surrey
Project Overview
PAC Handyman was asked to refurbish a small timber garden bridge that had become worn and unsafe due to age, weather exposure, and deteriorating timber components. Located within a landscaped garden in Surrey, the bridge formed an important feature and access point across a decorative waterway.
The client wanted to restore the bridge's appearance while improving its strength, safety, and longevity.

The Challenge
Over time, several areas of the bridge had suffered from weather damage and general wear, including:
Worn and ageing decking boards
Deteriorating timber side sections
Reduced structural integrity in key areas
A tired appearance that detracted from the surrounding garden
The objective was to retain the character of the bridge while upgrading the components that had reached the end of their service life.
Our Solution
PAC Handyman carried out a comprehensive refurbishment, including:
Removal of damaged and worn timber sections
Installation of new pressure-treated timber supports
Replacement of ageing bridge decking boards
Structural strengthening where required
Careful alignment and finishing to maintain the bridge's original style
Preparation for future staining and weather protection treatments
All materials were selected for durability and suitability in an outdoor environment.
The Result
The completed bridge refurbishment restored both the functionality and appearance of this attractive garden feature. The new decking provides a solid and secure walking surface, while the replacement timber sections enhance the bridge's strength and lifespan.
The refreshed structure blends naturally with the surrounding landscape and provides the homeowner with a safe and attractive feature that can be enjoyed for many years to come.
