Common questions  Stainesai
The price can be affected by the size of the decking area, choice of materials, complexity of the design, and any additional features like steps or balustrades.
For a standard 20m² area, decking installation typically takes 2-3 days, including preparation and finishing.
Common materials include treated timber, composite boards, and hardwoods, each offering different aesthetics and durability.
Planning permission is generally not required unless the decking is raised more than 30cm above the ground or covers more than 50% of the garden. Always confirm with your tradesperson before work begins.
