Decking for Golborne Gardens
A good deck does not have to be a big-ticket build, and Golborne is where we fit a lot of our honest, hard-working timber decks. Treated softwood on a properly built frame gives a terraced back garden or a newer estate plot a level seating area for sensible money, and it can always be upgraded to composite boards later because the frame underneath is the same. We build decking across Golborne and can quote within days from Leigh.
We cover Golborne and the surrounding area: Bank Heath, Park Road, Stone Cross, Lowton, Lowton Common and beyond (WA3).

What’s Included
Cheap decking fails from underneath, so we do not build cheap frames: posts on pads, joists at proper centres, membrane against weeds and airflow to keep everything dry. That frame discipline is the whole difference between a deck that lasts fifteen years and one that bounces in five.

- Composite decking in a range of colours and finishes
- Raised and split-level decks for sloped gardens
- Steps, balustrades and handrails built in

How It Works
Decking in Golborne, FAQs
As a rule of thumb, composite boards roughly double the material cost of treated softwood, though the frame and labour are similar. On a typical Golborne garden that often makes timber the way in, with the option of re-boarding in composite years down the line on the same frame.
Yes, and it is a common job. We strip the old boards and frame, check what killed it, usually no membrane and no airflow, then rebuild so the same thing does not happen twice. All the old timber goes on the van.
Yes, and that is where decking beats paving hands down. The frame takes up the slope, so you get a perfectly level surface without moving tonnes of soil. Split-level decks with a step or two between them work well on steeper plots.
Any surface grows algae in a shaded, damp spot. Grooved boards help, composite ranges with textured finishes help more, and an annual wash keeps either surface safe. If the deck is going somewhere that never sees sun, tell us and we will spec the boards accordingly.
Usually not. Decking under 30cm off the ground and covering less than half the garden generally falls under permitted development. Raised decks above that can need permission, and conservation areas have their own rules. We flag it at the quote if your job needs a check.
