Local, Trusted Manchester Decking Contractors
A deck is a quick way to turn an awkward or sloping garden into usable space, but it lives or dies by what's underneath. We build decks across Manchester and Greater Manchester on level, well-supported frames, with the ground prepared and the airflow right so the structure stays sound.
We fit both wooden and composite decking, and we'll explain the differences honestly so you can choose what suits your garden and how much upkeep you want.
As a local, family-run business, we offer free design ideas and a free, no-obligation quote.

Wooden and Composite Decking Services
Choose a natural timber deck or low-maintenance composite boards. Each page explains how we build it and what to expect.
Choosing Boards for Your Manchester Garden
Wooden vs Composite Decking
Timber decking, in softwood or hardwood, has a natural feel and usually costs less to buy. It needs a clean and a fresh coat of oil or stain every so often to protect it and keep it looking good.
Composite boards are made to look like wood but need far less upkeep. They cost more at the start, but there's no staining, and they resist fading, rot and splinters.
Both need the same thing underneath: a level, well-fixed frame on firm footings, with space for air to move. That part of the job doesn't change, whichever board you pick.
The Advantages of Composite Decking in Manchester
Low Maintenance
No sanding, staining or oiling. A wash down now and then keeps it clean.
Fade and Stain Resistant
Boards are made to resist fading, staining, mould and mildew, which helps in damp, shaded gardens.
No Splinters or Rot
Composite won't splinter underfoot or rot like timber, so it suits bare feet, children and pets.
Looks Like Real Wood
A wide range of colours and finishes, from traditional timber tones to contemporary greys.
Works in Many Settings
Garden decks, hot tub surrounds, balconies and commercial spaces such as cafes and bars.

Pricing
What Affects the Cost of Decking
We quote each deck after a free visit, because the frame and groundwork vary as much as the boards. These are the main factors:
- The size and shape of the deck
- Wooden or composite boards, and the range chosen
- How high the deck sits and how much the ground slopes
- Steps, edging and fascia boards
- Ground preparation and access to the garden
How we carry out the work
How We Build a Garden Deck
No pressure at any stage, and nothing is booked until you have the price in writing.
Design and Set Out
We agree the size, height and shape with you, then mark out the deck and check levels across the area.
Prepare the Ground
The area is cleared and levelled, a weed membrane goes down and footings are set so the frame has firm support.
Build the Frame
Treated joists are fixed level, at spacings that suit the boards, with room left underneath for air to circulate.
Lay Boards and Finish
Boards are fixed with even gaps for drainage and movement, then any steps and fascias are fitted and the site is cleared.
