"Hi Helen
Depends on size, where’s the location and is that for labour only."

"From the price and description of the deck it sounds like an area roughly 3 or 4 meters square. Should take about 2-3 days. That's based on North West England prices. Further south will vary"

"I’d say that’s around about right depending on timber or composite."
