Composite decking quote
Hi all, Anyone had composite decking done lately? I’ve got old, now rotting timber decking down at the minute. 20m2. Best way of describing the shape is an L but in the right angle there’s a diagonal across. I want that removed and composite put down instead. Been quoted £3700 for everything. What do we think? Cheers, Sam

I wrote them letter and this is part of it.... According to your website you give free quotes on the work to be done before the work is…
