Fixed-price quotes
Every Salford 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.
Salford decking — the local Wolsten standard.
Salford runs from M3 (city-edge), M5 (Ordsall, Pendleton), M6 (Pendlebury, Irlams o' th' Height), M7 (Higher Broughton, Kersal), M27 (Swinton), M28 (Walkden, Worsley) through to M30 (Eccles, Patricroft). It's one of our denser catchments -- a lot of terraced and 1930s semi-detached stock with compact rear gardens.
The typical Salford deck we install is a rear platform off a kitchen-diner or French-doored extension, usually 3m x 3m up to 4m x 5m. The sub-frame is independent of the extension structure -- which is what stops the deck loading onto the new wall when it all settles.
We cover the whole patch reliably and have done plenty of Worsley and Swinton installs across the past year. Composite is the popular pick in Salford for the low-maintenance angle; timber's still a sensible second choice on a tighter budget.
Extension decks Salford
Rear platforms off French doors -- the typical Salford brief, independent sub-frame, level threshold.
Composite specialists Low-maintenance
Capped composite -- zero treating, 25+ year lifespan, holds up to Salford weather without going green.
M3 to M30 covered Local
Ordsall and Pendleton out to Worsley, Walkden and Eccles -- 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

Decking in Salford — straight answers.
Do you install decking in M28 (Worsley and Walkden)?
Yes -- M28 is one of our most frequent Salford catchments. Worsley, Walkden, Boothstown and Ellenbrook all get the same team, same fixed-quote pricing and same no-deposit terms.
How long does a typical Salford 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 Salford?
Honestly: it depends on you, not on Salford. 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 Salford postcodes do you cover?
All of them — M3, M5, M6, M7, M27, M28, M30. 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.
