Thanks all for your replies so far. Much appreciated.

I’ve dug down around one post so far and got to the concrete that it’s set in. There is signs of rot on this post but seems to be only on the surface. I’ve poled and prodded and seems quite solid. The decking itself feels safe and sturdy when up on it. The decking boards themselves need...

See photos below, not taken today obviously as it’s p*ssing down here for a change!! Hopefully from the photos you can see what I mean. The 4 vertical posts are set in the ground and just have earth/soil around them up to around 18inches high. This is obviously where they are rotting as they...

Deck/Balcony I’m not sure. It is approx 5 meters high off the ground and measures 5.5 meters x 9.5 meters. So far I’ve dug holes out down around one of the beams to the concrete they seem to be set in. So far it looks like surface rot. I’m hoping the others are the same. The plan I think is...

Whaley, picture should now be there (albeit on a sqew!). Thanks for the tips foxhole

Evening Burnerman, have tried but failed to upload pic direct to this thread. Are they not showing in the albums on my profile? The floor on both sides of the wall (will make sense when see the pic) is concrete on top of a plastic dpc.
