    cost of fitting a pressured-treated softwood decking in an area of roughly 15 square metres

    I would like to have pressured-treated softwood decking fitted in my back garden. I currently have a garden of 40 square metres and it is entirely covered by real grass with the exception of a small garden shed. We’d like to have the decking fitted just beyond the back door and covering an area of about 15 square metres. What total cost can I expect for this installation work from a professional decking fitter? That is between both labour and supply costs.

    New foundation and existing retaining wall

    Hi I am planning to replace my existing conservatory with a single storey extension. The conservatory is just within our boundary but there is a approx 2m level difference, supported by a retaining wall. The existing conservatory foundation is not deep enough and building controls have said I can’t put any additional load onto the retaining wall - what are my options? Thanks
