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.

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.

What to ask before you choose

  • Can I see photographs of similar finished work?
  • Are materials included, and to what specification?
  • Who removes the old doors, units or offcuts?
  • For a garden room: does it fall within the planning exemption as designed?
  • Is VAT included?

What the work usually involves

  • Hanging internal doors, skirting and architrave
  • Fitted wardrobes and shelving
  • Kitchen fitting from flat-pack or a supplier
  • Decking, stairs, bannisters and attic flooring

What to put in your task

  • What you want built or repaired, with rough measurements
  • Whether you have bought the materials or want them supplied
  • Photos of the space
  • Any finish you have in mind — painted, oiled, stained
