Decking Prices per Square Metre
Our square-metre rates cover the whole deck: the sub-frame underneath, the boards on top, and the fitting. They are starting prices for a straightforward deck at or near ground level, and the questions below explain what moves a job up from there.
- Timber decking Pressure treated softwood, frame included. 15 year guarantee on materials. from £180 per m²
- Composite decking Low maintenance boards, frame included. 35 year guarantee on materials. from £210 per m²

Raised Decks
A deck up to about a metre off the ground is generally covered by the square-metre rate above. What changes the total is the balustrade: once a deck stands high enough to need guarding, the balustrade is priced per metre, as below.
Above a metre, we price each deck individually. The height itself matters less than the site logistics: how materials reach the garden, how steep the ground is and how the frame has to be built. Photos of the garden and the route to it let us give you a realistic figure.
Balustrades, per Linear Metre
Priced per running metre of balustrade, fitted. Glass and stainless wire keep the view open, which is why they suit raised decks looking out over a garden or a valley. Timber is the lowest-cost way to guard a deck, and composite rails match composite boards.
- Timber balustrade from £180 per metre
- Composite balustrade from £300 per metre
- Glass or stainless wire balustrade from £420 per metre
See the styles on our balustrade and lighting page.
Deck Lighting and Outdoor Power
Lights are easiest to add while the deck is being built, so it is worth deciding on them at quote stage.
- Up to 10 LED deck lights Fitted into the deck and plugged in. £300
- Hard-wired lighting Remote switching or dusk-to-dawn sensors, installed by our electrician. adds £240–£540
- Outdoor socket Worth fitting while the electrician is on site. around £180–£220

Two Worked Examples
To show how the rates add up, here are two common jobs priced from the figures on this page. Your own quote will reflect your garden, but these are a fair starting point.
Ground-level timber deck
3m × 3m = 9m² of timber decking at £180
No balustrade needed at this height
From about £1,620 including VAT
Composite deck with glass and lights
4m × 3m = 12m² of composite at £210: £2,520
7m of glass balustrade on two sides at £420: £2,940
10 LED deck lights: £300
From about £5,760 including VAT
Fencing
Priced per metre of fence, fitted. A new boundary is often worth doing alongside a deck, because the two have to meet neatly anyway.
- Timber fencing from £180 per metre
- Composite fencing from £300 per metre
- Removing an old fence Depending on length. from £540

Garden Rooms
Insulated garden rooms, timber panelled inside and out with a membrane roof, built as a home office, studio or garden retreat. The doors you choose make the biggest difference to the price. Garden rooms are usually built onto a deck, which is priced at the decking rates above.
- 2m × 3m garden room Depending on doors. from about £14,400
- 3m × 4m garden room £18,000–£21,600
See our garden rooms and offices.
Removing an Old Deck
Taking up an existing deck starts from around £540. We use a licensed waste carrier to take it away rather than hiring a skip, which is usually the cheaper route.
What Moves a Price Up or Down
Height. Up to about a metre is generally in the square-metre rate; above that, each deck is priced on its own.
Balustrades. A raised deck usually needs one, priced per metre and depending on the style.
Access. Carrying everything through a house or up steps takes longer than a side gate and a level path.
Site logistics. Parking, slopes and how far materials travel from the van all play a part.
An old deck or fence to clear. Removal is priced separately, from around £540.
Extras. Lighting, power and screening are added at the rates above.
Where We Work
Most of our decks are within about half an hour’s drive of us in Sheffield. For larger jobs we are happy to quote up to around 45 minutes away, so if you are a little further out, it is still worth asking. We cover areas including Ecclesall, Dore, Chapeltown and Hathersage; see photos of recent decks.
Decking Price Questions
Do your prices include VAT?
Yes. Every price on this page includes VAT at 20%, so the figure you see is the figure you pay for that part of the job, before anything specific to your garden is added.
Is the frame included in the price per square metre?
Yes. The square-metre rate covers the sub-frame and the boards, supplied and fitted. Timber decking starts from £180 per square metre and composite from £210.
How much more does a raised deck cost?
Decks up to about a metre high are generally covered by the normal square-metre rate, although a raised deck usually needs a balustrade, which is priced per metre. Above a metre, we price each job individually because site logistics and access make the difference.
What guarantee comes with the materials?
Timber decking materials carry a 15 year guarantee and composite decking materials a 35 year guarantee.
Can you take away my old deck?
Yes. Taking up an existing deck starts from around £540. We use a licensed waste carrier rather than a skip, which is usually the cheaper option.
How much does a garden room cost?
An insulated 2m by 3m garden room, timber panelled inside and out, starts from about £14,400 depending on the doors. A 3m by 4m room is typically £18,000 to £21,600.
