Timber and Composite Installation
Timber Options
Timber offers a natural wood grain finish suited to both modern and traditional properties. When pressure-treated and professionally installed, it typically lasts 10–15 years.
Composite Solutions
Composite boards provide a modern wood-look finish with significantly reduced maintenance. They do not require staining or sealing and typically last 25+ years.
| Feature | Timber | Composite |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Natural wood grain with traditional character | Modern wood-look finish in multiple colours |
| Maintenance | Staining or sealing every 1–2 years | No staining or sealing required |
| Expected Lifespan | 10–15 years with proper care | 25+ years with minimal upkeep |
| Weather Resistance | Resistant when treated but can warp or fade over time | Highly resistant to moisture, rot, and UV |
| Eco Considerations | Sustainably sourced timber available | Often made from recycled materials |
| Cost Over Time | Lower upfront, ongoing maintenance costs | Higher upfront, minimal maintenance costs |
How Much Does Decking Cost in Glasgow?
Most installations in Glasgow fall between £70–£130 per m², depending on the material.
- Softwood: £70–£90 per m²
- Composite: £80–£120 per m²
- Hardwood: £110–£130 per m²
For example, a standard 3m x 3.6m deck (10.8m²) may start from £750–£1,400, depending on access, groundwork, and structural requirements.
Composite and hardwood cost more upfront but typically last longer and require less ongoing maintenance.
What Effects the Price
Final costs vary based on site conditions and design.
Key factors include:
Material choice – Softwood is the most affordable; composite and hardwood are premium options.
Deck size – Larger areas increase total cost but can reduce price per m² slightly.
Labour complexity – Raised, multi-level, or custom designs require more structural work.
Ground preparation – Sloping gardens, drainage issues, or unstable ground increase build time.
Existing structure removal – Dismantling and waste disposal add labour.
Extras – Steps, balustrades, lighting, and built-in features increase overall spend.
Accurate pricing usually requires a site visit to assess access, levels, and foundation requirements.

Planning Permission and Building Regulations
In Scotland, most domestic decking projects qualify as permitted development, meaning planning permission is not usually required — provided certain limits are met.
Decking is typically permitted if:
- It is positioned at the rear of the house
- The platform is no higher than 0.5 metres above ground level
- The total height, including railings or structures, does not exceed 2.5 metres
- The footprint is under 4m² if located in a conservation area or within the grounds of a listed building
Replacement and Structural Upgrades
If your existing deck is showing signs of wear, movement, or rot, it may be time for a structural upgrade. In Glasgow’s wet climate, older timber frames can weaken over time, especially if they haven’t been regularly maintained.
We handle full removals and rebuilds, subframe replacements, and upgrades from timber to composite. In some cases, boards can be replaced while retaining a solid underlying structure.
Common signs you may need replacement include soft boards, loose railings, unstable steps, or visible rot. Every project begins with a structural assessment to determine the safest and most cost-effective solution.
