how much to pay for a new deck?

I know it all depends on size and lots of things, but for various reasons, we're being pushed into a quick decision on replacing ours and I think our quote is very high. We've got a 5m x 4m deck which has a raised bit over one part (another layer of deck forming a step), which is around 1m x 3m. If anyone could share recent prices publicly or via pm would be very helpful.

As a local garden designer & landscaper, there is a formula for things like decks & fences unless there are exceptional aspects within the design of the deck. We normally charge ?140-150 per sq metre for soft wood decking, but now Millboard & other maintenance free eco decking is available these increase the price substantially Millboard coming in for the deck alone at around ?68 per linear metre. Then there is hardwood, beautiful but very expensive due to its rarity & that it is a lot more work to assemble ( you have to pre drill each hole to avoid splitting!)

If you have any questions or need a quote please get in touch.

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
