Decking 13m2

I realise there isn't a forum called "Will this quote be fair?".....however

I want to get my decking replaced as it's rotten. The area is about 13m square but isn't a regular shape there are a few returns to go around.

What do you think I will be looking at to take the old decking material away plus supply and fit the new stuff. Will be standard materials. I estimate it's 2 days work.

I will get 3 quotes from the most reputable artisans of course!

thanks

    Joists have disintegrated too so need whole new frame.
