Greater Manchester

Timber decking, built the old-fashioned way.

Pressure-treated softwood, ipe, balau and yellow balau. Heavy joists, deep foundations, traditional fixings. Built the way decks were built before everyone got lazy.

Every timber decking job, the same standard.

No corner-cutting on the substructure, no mystery on the materials, no surprise costs at the end. Here's exactly what you get when Legacy quotes for the work.

LD/01
Softwood Decking

Premium tanalised pine and spruce. The cost-effective option, great when stained or oiled annually. 10-year guarantee on rot.

LD/02
Hardwood Decking

Ipe, balau, yellow balau, iroko. Dense, oily, naturally rot-resistant. Silvers beautifully or stays rich-brown if oiled.

LD/03
Ground Screws or Pads

No more concrete posts that rot in the ground. Ground screws for clean installs, concrete pads where we need mass.

LD/04
Heavy Joists

47×150 or 47×175 C24 joists at 400mm max centres. Bouncy decks happen because joists are too small or too far apart. Ours never bounce.

LD/05
Stainless Fixings

Decking screws are stainless or coated specifically for treated timber. Cheap zinc screws stain the deck within a year.

LD/06
Annual Aftercare

We can come back to oil or stain the deck each spring. Or we leave you a tin of the right product and a brush.

Timber Decking, answered.

Will my timber deck rot?
Not if it is built and looked after properly. Pressure-treated softwood with proper drainage gaps and an annual oil lasts 15–20 years. Hardwood lasts 25+.
Softwood vs hardwood — what is the real difference?
Hardwood costs roughly twice as much, lasts roughly twice as long, and looks richer from day one. Softwood is great if you do not mind staining once a year.
Can timber be slippery in winter?
Smooth boards can be. We can groove the boards or apply an anti-slip strip in shaded areas. Hardwoods like ipe and balau grip far better than softwood when wet.
Do you build raised decks above 600mm?
Yes. Raised decks need building regs and balustrade. We handle the full job including the paperwork where required.
