About Teesside Decking

Decking is the trade where two quotes for the same garden can differ by 40 per cent and both look reasonable on paper. One prices concrete pads, treated joists at 400mm centres, butyl tape and a ventilated perimeter. The other prices boards, screws and a day's labour, sets the frame straight onto the soil, and looks identical on day one. Five winters later only one of them is still flat. This site exists to make that difference visible before you sign anything.

How it works

Send the basics through the quote form: rough size, how much the ground falls, the material you have in mind, and your postcode. The enquiry goes through our quote partner Bark.com to rated local decking professionals covering your area, who visit, measure, check access and drainage, and come back with a written quote that names the boards, the joist spec and the foundation type. Composite, timber, raised builds, balustrades, repairs and pergolas are all handled the same way.

The standard we hold quotes to

• Measured, not guessed: levels taken, access checked, soil and drainage looked at before any figure is written.
• Priced per square metre, itemised: groundwork, frame, boards, edges, steps and waste each on their own line.
• Subframe specified: foundation type, joist section, centres, tape and ventilation gap stated in writing.
• Honest maintenance talk: composite is low maintenance, not maintenance free, and shaded gardens should be told so up front.
• Free to use: homeowners pay nothing for the introduction.

Who runs it

360 Media Works Ltd publishes this site. It is a Stockton-on-Tees business, based at Varsity House on Preston Farm. The guides are deliberately written to stand on their own: real 2026 prices, the questions worth asking a decking fitter, and the trade-offs most sales pages leave unmentioned, whether or not you ever fill the form in.
