Natural Beauty

Timber Decking Manchester

Hardwood and treated softwood decks for traditional properties and natural garden spaces. Properly specified, correctly installed, and built to last — with the warmth and grain that only real wood delivers.

🌲

Natural Hardwood Grain

Nothing matches the character of real timber. We install hardwoods like Iroko, Balau and Spotted Gum — naturally durable, rich in colour, and built to age beautifully.

Traditional Craftsmanship

Timber decks require proper joist spacing, correct board gaps, and quality fixings. Our in-house team builds them right — no shortcuts, no subcontractors.

Oiling & Maintenance

Timber needs annual oiling to stay at its best. We offer maintenance plans or can show you how to keep it yourself — the right products, the right technique.

Softwood & Hardwood Options

From cost-effective pressure-treated softwood to premium hardwoods — we help you choose the right timber for your budget and your garden’s exposure.

What Manchester Clients Say

★★★★★

Brilliant from start to finish. The team built a raised composite deck with black balustrade in our Didsbury garden. The privacy screen with the laser-cut panel is a proper talking point. Clean, tidy, and on time.

— Sarah M., Didsbury
★★★★★

We had a hardwood deck installed in Altrincham. The craftsmanship is excellent — the steps, the edges, everything is perfect. They even came back to oil it after six months. Highly recommend.

— James T., Altrincham
★★★★★

Our old deck subframe had failed but the composite boards were fine. 5 Star rebuilt the frame and re-used the boards — saved us a fortune. Proper honest advice and top quality work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does decking installation take in Manchester?

Most residential decks are completed in 2–5 days depending on size and complexity. Raised decks with balustrades or multi-level designs may take up to a week. We’ll give you a clear timeline with your quote.

Do you offer free quotes in South Manchester?

Yes — every quote starts with a free on-site survey. We visit your garden, measure up, discuss options, and send a detailed itemised quote. No obligation, no pressure.

What areas of Manchester do you cover?

We cover South Manchester & Stockport along the M56/A34 corridor around M23, including Didsbury (M20), Sale (M33), Altrincham, Bowdon & Hale (WA14/WA15), Stockport (SK4/SK5), Urmston (M41), Stretford (M32), Cheadle & Cheadle Hulme (SK8), Timperley (WA15), Heald Green, Bramhall and Handforth.

Is composite decking better than timber for Manchester weather?

For most Manchester gardens, yes. Composite decking is slip-resistant, moss-resistant, and needs zero annual maintenance. Timber looks beautiful but requires regular oiling and will eventually weather. We install both and can advise on the best option for your space.

Do you provide a guarantee on your decking work?

Yes — all our decking installations come with a 10-year workmanship guarantee. Composite products also carry manufacturer warranties of up to 25 years.

Can you build a deck over my existing patio or gravel?

Absolutely. Raised decks on existing hard surfaces (patios, gravel, concrete) are one of our specialities. We can also upgrade old timber decking to composite without a full rebuild in some cases.
