Decking and Concrete Base

Hello,
I have been quoted the following for our garden refurbishment and I have had such a range of quotes, I was unsure if this might be too cheap?
Decking 20ft x 10ft x 1ft (off the ground)
and
Concrete base 18ft x 12ft x 0.5ft (thickness) with wire mesh
Total = £1800
Any information would be much appreciated.
Thank You

Does anyone have any ideas on what the sort of price should be?0

I don't have any experience in decking but you could easily work out the cost of materials and then the rest is labour. Ask then how many people they'll use and how many days it'll take to complete.
A few websites will automatically work out the decking materials needed given a certain size.0 -
Depends what you mean by fair? If the tradesman does not want the job he/she will probably bid high.You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0
