how much to pay for a new deck?

[Bumpkin]

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.

They're fiendishly expensive. We're looking at the same size in patio and have been quoted ?7.5-?8k from 3 different people. Not likely.

Good luck in your search.

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.
