Decking: common questions

How much does decking cost in Teesside?

Softwood decking typically runs £80 to £140 per m² installed across Teesside, hardwood £120 to £200, and composite £140 to £250. The frame underneath matters as much as the boards, ask what joist material, spacing and ventilation the quote assumes before comparing prices.

Timber or composite?

Timber is cheaper upfront and looks the part when new, but in the wet North East climate it needs annual cleaning and treatment or it goes green and slippery. Composite costs roughly double but needs only an occasional wash. Over ten years the maintenance bills narrow the gap considerably.

Does decking need planning permission?

Usually not, provided the platform is under 30cm high and, together with other additions, covers less than half the garden. Raised decks, balconies and anything overlooking neighbours can need consent. Building a low deck is nearly always straightforward.
