43m² softwood deck with manhole access in Crystal Palace
Ryan's garden in Crystal Palace now has around 43m² of new softwood decking across the back of the house, built on a new frame. A hatch was left in the deck so the manhole cover underneath can still be reached. We supplied and installed everything in 2 days for £4,150 including VAT, with waste removal included.
