Four reasons Chorley homeowners pick us over the national chains and one-man-bands.
Family-run, Bolton-based
Three founders — Liam, Ryan and Paul — born and raised locally. Our yard is in Westhoughton; your Chorley job is a short run, not three counties.
Fixed-price quotes
Every Chorley quote is fixed in writing after a free survey. No day-rate creep, no "while we're at it" extras — the number on the quote is the number you pay.
No deposit on day one
Nothing to pay until the first board is down and you're happy with the sub-frame. We back ourselves; you keep your money until we've earned it.
20+ years on the tools
Paul — master joiner, three decades in — leads every deck build. Sixty combined years of trade experience across the three of us, all on your job.
Chorley decking — the local Wolsten standard.
Chorley is one of our most popular catchment areas -- we install decking across PR6, PR7, PR25 (Leyland) and PR26 reliably every month. From our Westhoughton yard it's a 20-minute run; we treat Chorley the same as anywhere in our BL home patch.
Chorley gardens tend to be larger than the Greater Manchester average: lots of 1980s and 1990s detached and semi-detached estates around Astley Village, Eaves Green and Buckshaw Village, plus the older semis through Adlington and Coppull. The common Chorley brief is a substantial back-garden deck -- often 5m x 5m or larger -- with built-in steps down to a lawn or paved entertaining area.
Composite is the popular pick here for its low-maintenance finish. Get the long Chorley summer evenings without spending the whole season re-treating timber. The calculator below works out the fitted price for any size up to 7m x 7m -- pick composite or timber, set the size, see the number.
Larger decks Chorley
5m x 5m and 6m x 6m back-garden builds are routine in Astley Village, Eaves Green and Buckshaw.
Composite specialists Low-maintenance
Capped composite boards -- 25+ year lifespan, no sanding, no staining, just a twice-a-year wash-down.
PR6 to PR26 covered Local
Chorley centre out to Leyland and the Buckshaw / Eaves Green estates -- all on the same fixed-price terms.
Two materials. Same frame. Honest trade-offs.
Whichever boards you pick, the sub-frame underneath is identical — pressure-treated structural timber, built to outlast the surface. The choice is about budget, look and how much maintenance you’re happy to do.
Composite decking
- Virtually zero maintenance — no sanding, staining or treating, ever
- Won’t rot, warp or splinter; boards typically last 25+ years
- Colour-stable capped boards — keeps its look season after season
- Hidden clip fixings — clean surface, no visible screw heads
- Costs more upfront, repays you every spring you don’t spend re-oiling it
Timber decking
- The most affordable route to a proper deck
- Warm, classic real-wood look — can be stained or painted any colour
- Pressure-treated softwood boards on a matching treated frame
- Needs re-treating every 12–18 months to stay at its best
- Typically 10–15 years’ lifespan with sensible care
Install only
- You supply the boards — we build the deck
- Pressure-treated structural sub-frame on adjustable posts
- Joists laid at 400mm centres, properly braced and ventilated
- We fix your boards to spec — composite hidden-clip or timber screw-fixed

Decking in Chorley — straight answers.
What size decks do you usually install in Chorley?
Chorley is our biggest-deck territory. Gardens out in Astley Village, Eaves Green and Buckshaw routinely fit 5m x 5m or 6m x 4m decks -- our decking calculator handles all the way up to 7m x 7m and the price-per-square-metre drops slightly as the deck gets bigger.
How long does a typical Chorley deck install take?
Most standard ground-level decks are 3 to 5 days on site, ground prep and sub-frame included. Raised decks, steps, balustrades or awkward access only add time — usually a day or two. The schedule is set out in writing in your quote so there are no surprises.
Composite or timber — which do you recommend in Chorley?
Honestly: it depends on you, not on Chorley. Budget-led, pick timber — from £180/m², classic look, but a coat of oil every 12–18 months. Maintenance-led, pick composite — from £230/m², no treating, 25+ years. We bring samples of both to the survey and tell you straight.
Do you take a deposit before work starts?
No. Nothing to pay until day one, and even then nothing comes off until the sub-frame is in and you’ve seen it. We back ourselves — you keep your money in your account until we’ve earned it.
Which Chorley postcodes do you cover?
All of them — PR6, PR7, PR25, PR26. If you’re not sure which one you’re in, just call us on 07482 332 817 with your address — we’ll tell you straight if we cover it.
