Decking: what the job involves
Building a timber or composite deck on a treated timber frame on posts or pads, with steps, handrails and edging, or stripping and replacing an old one. Its life depends far more on the frame, ventilation underneath and drainage than on the boards on top.
How long it takes: Usually two to five days for a typical garden deck; longer for raised decks, many steps or sloping ground.
The full guide to decking — the steps, what is included, the Irish rules, paperwork and questions to ask.
What decking in Wexford costs, and why
What jobs on Talqero came to
Not enough comparable jobs yet to publish a range here. Talqero shows a price range only once at least five comparable jobs, agreed prices or offers exist — a range from fewer would describe a handful of jobs, not the market. Post your job and compare the offers you get.
What affects the price
- Area and height off the ground
- Boards: treated softwood, hardwood or composite
- Ground preparation, slopes and footings
- Steps, handrails, balustrades and lighting
- Removing an old deck or patio first
- VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.

- Is VAT included?
What the work usually involves

- Fitted wardrobes and shelving
- Kitchen fitting from flat-pack or a supplier
- Decking, stairs, bannisters and attic flooring
What to put in your task

- Whether you have bought the materials or want them supplied
- Photos of the space
- Any finish you have in mind — painted, oiled, stained
County Wexford in figures
Construction as a whole. The CSO does not publish enterprise counts per trade at county level, so this figure is not a count of any one trade.
