Hi,
We just had an extension built and want decking coming off it.
Currently outside the new patio doors is some rather uneven paving slabs from the old patio.
The size is 10m length by 2.8 width, with a height of 30cm. There will also be a step down from the patio.
I have been quoted 6k(excluding VAT) by a building firm, for a soft wood deck. I was told they would use a brick built base.
That sounds excessive to me, with my limited knowledge. We live in London, so I expect it to be higher.
Also do they need to go to all the trouble of building a brick wall for decking?
