Your local decking firm — built here, based here.
Four reasons Wigan 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 Wigan job is a short run, not three counties.
Fixed-price quotes
Every Wigan 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.
Wigan decking — the local Wolsten standard.
Wigan is comfortable territory for us -- short hop from our Westhoughton yard. We cover WN1 (town centre and Whelley), WN2 (Aspull, Ince, Higher Ince, Hindley), WN3 (Pemberton, Worsley Mesnes), WN4 (Ashton-in-Makerfield), WN5 (Orrell, Pemberton) and WN6 (Standish, Shevington, Wrightington).
The garden stock is broad -- compact terraced gardens through the WN2 and WN3 areas, larger semi-detached and detached gardens out toward Standish, Shevington and Wrightington. Most Wigan decking briefs we quote are 4m x 4m to 5m x 5m back-garden installs on a mix of property types.
We have a recent Artificial Grass case study in Hindley (WN2) live under /projects/ if you'd like to see how we work. Composite is the popular pick across the patch for the low-maintenance angle; timber's still a sensible second choice on a tighter budget.
Mid-size decks Wigan
4m x 4m and 5m x 5m back-garden builds -- the typical Wigan brief across WN1 to WN5.
Larger gardens WN6
Standish, Shevington and Wrightington plots routinely fit 5m x 5m or larger composite installs.
WN1 to WN6 covered Local
Town centre out to Standish, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Orrell -- 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
- Ideal for DIYers buying their own boards or trade partners

Decking in Wigan — straight answers.
Do you cover Standish, Shevington and Wrightington (WN6)?
Yes -- WN6 is one of our regular Wigan catchments and tends to deliver the larger garden plots. We've done plenty of 5m x 5m and larger composite installs in Standish and Shevington.
How long does a typical Wigan 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 Wigan?
Honestly: it depends on you, not on Wigan. 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 Wigan postcodes do you cover?
All of them — WN1, WN2, WN3, WN4, WN5, WN6. 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.
