Timber Decks With a Natural Finish
Real timber has a warmth that's hard to copy, and it weathers into the garden over time. We build wooden decks in softwood and hardwood across Manchester, from small seating areas by the back door to raised decks over sloping ground.
Timber is a natural material, so how it's built matters. We keep the frame off wet ground, leave room for air to move underneath and fix the boards with gaps so rain drains straight through.

Softwood or Hardwood Decking
Softwood Decking
Pressure-treated softwood is the most popular choice for garden decks. It's kinder to the budget and takes stain well if you want to change the colour.
Hardwood Decking
Hardwoods are denser and naturally harder wearing. They cost more, but have a rich grain and feel solid underfoot.
Grooved or Smooth Boards
Grooved boards give a traditional look and a little extra grip; smooth boards give a cleaner, modern finish.

Why choose Nice & Tidy
Why Choose Nice & Tidy for a Wooden Deck
Timber rewards careful building. We pay attention to the small details that keep a wooden deck sound, then leave your garden clean and tidy.
Ventilated Frames
We leave space beneath the deck so moisture can escape rather than rot the joists.
Treated Cut Ends
Every cut is treated, because bare cut ends are where timber decay usually starts.
Fully Insured
All work is carried out by our own fully insured team.

Pricing
What Changes the Price of a Wooden Deck
Every timber deck is priced after a free visit. These are the things that move the cost the most:
- Softwood or hardwood boards
- The overall size and shape of the deck
- Raised decks and the height above the ground
- Steps, fascias and any built-in features
- Preparation of uneven or overgrown ground
How we carry out the work
How We Build a Wooden Deck
No pressure at any stage, and nothing is booked until you have the price in writing.
Agree the Design
We work out the size, height and board direction with you, and where steps or access points need to go.
Groundwork and Footings
The area is cleared, membrane laid and footings set so the frame sits on firm, level support.
Frame and Joists
Treated joists are fixed at the right spacing for the boards, with cut ends treated so the timber stays protected.
Boards and Finishing
Boards go down with even gaps and neat screw lines, edges are trimmed and fascias fitted, then the site is cleared.
