How Much Does Decking Replacement Cost ?
Softwood decking replacement costs between £50 and £100 per square metre.
Hardwood decking ranges from £80 to £150 per square metre.
Composite decking typically costs between £70 and £140 per square metre, offering long-term durability with minimal upkeep.
PVC and aluminium decking range from £90 to £200 per square metre, making them premium options with enhanced performance benefits.
The cost of decking replacement depends on the size of the deck, material choice, and installation requirements.
Additional costs may include structural repairs, subframe replacement, and custom features such as railings or built-in lighting.
When Should You Replace Your Decking?
Decking should be replaced when it shows visible structural damage, excessive wear, or persistent maintenance issues.
Signs that indicate the need for replacement include rotting wood, loose boards, warped planks, unstable railings, or signs of pest infestation.
If a deck has been repaired multiple times but continues to deteriorate, a full replacement is often a more cost-effective and long-term solution.
Commercial properties and public spaces should also consider decking replacement if their current structures no longer meet safety regulations or modern aesthetic standards.
What Are the Benefits of Replacing Your Decking?
Replacing old decking improves safety, enhances outdoor aesthetics, and increases property value while reducing maintenance costs.
Key benefits include:
Ensures Safety and Structural Integrity – A new deck eliminates risks associated with weakened or unstable decking materials.
Improves Aesthetic Appeal – Upgrading to modern materials enhances the overall look of outdoor spaces.
Increases Property Value – A professionally installed deck adds long-term value to residential and commercial properties.
Reduces Maintenance Requirements – New decking materials, such as composite or PVC, require far less upkeep than traditional wood.
Allows for Modern Features and Customisation – Replacement decking can incorporate built-in lighting, slip-resistant surfaces, and other contemporary upgrades.
What Are the Best Materials for Decking Replacement?
The choice of decking material depends on budget, durability, and aesthetic preferences.
Timber decking offers a classic, natural look but requires regular maintenance.
Composite decking is a low-maintenance alternative that is resistant to moisture, rot, and fading, making it an excellent long-term investment.
PVC decking provides a fully waterproof and slip-resistant solution, perfect for high-traffic and wet environments.
Aluminium decking is a fire-rated, non-combustible option, ideal for commercial properties and high-rise buildings.
Selecting the right material ensures that the new deck remains durable, stylish, and easy to maintain.
How Long Does Decking Replacement Take?
A small residential deck replacement can be completed in a few days, while larger commercial decking projects may take several weeks.
The time required to replace decking depends on the size of the area, material selection, and any additional features.
Factors such as weather conditions, ground preparation, and structural modifications can influence the timeline.
A professional decking contractor will provide a detailed project schedule to ensure efficient installation.
Does Decking Replacement Require Planning Permission?
In most cases, decking replacement does not require planning permission if the new deck is the same size and height as the previous structure.
However, planning approval may be necessary if the replacement deck is raised above 30cm, significantly larger than the original, or located in a conservation area.
Commercial and public spaces must also ensure that the new deck complies with building regulations, fire safety codes, and accessibility standards.
Can Decking Be Replaced Without Removing the Existing Frame?
If the underlying frame is still structurally sound, decking boards can be replaced without removing the entire structure.
However, if the subframe shows signs of rot, warping, or weakness, replacing it ensures long-term stability and safety.
A professional assessment can determine whether a full frame replacement is necessary or if only the surface boards need updating.
Is Composite Decking a Better Option for Replacement?
Composite decking is a popular choice for replacement projects due to its low maintenance, durability, and resistance to moisture, rot, and fading.
Unlike traditional wood, composite decking does not require staining, sealing, or frequent upkeep, making it a cost-effective, long-term investment.
It also offers a modern, stylish appearance with various colour and texture options, making it suitable for both residential and commercial applications.
What Are the Latest Trends in Decking Replacement?
Modern decking replacement trends focus on sustainability, functionality, and aesthetics. Many property owners are opting for composite and PVC decking for their durability and eco-friendliness.
Customisation features such as integrated LED lighting, glass balustrades, multi-level platforms, and built-in seating enhance the usability of outdoor spaces.
Slip-resistant coatings and fire-rated decking materials are becoming increasingly popular for commercial and public areas. These trends ensure that replacement decking meets both practical and aesthetic demands.
