Decking Services
What can you get from decking builders?
Ready to book that decking service request for some added oomph to your home? Get the opportunity to coordinate with contractors, builders, designers, or repair specialists who are knowledgeable enough to address your concerns. From purchasing required materials to making sure you’re satisfied with the final output, these Taskers can help you get peace of mind over dealing with a multilayered process. All you need is to align with them about your expectations.
Feel free to explore this clearer overview on what comes with booking a decking expert on Airtasker:
Deck installation
Taskers who are focused on the craft of decking installation are tasked to make your space more flexible. This starts with the planning of the layout by visualising the edges and midpoint of the deck, plus plotting the support posts. By laying weed control fabric and gravel or placing concrete slabs, they start covering the ground. The specialist will place a substructure made of steel, timber, or aluminium. Some installers may add extra moisture protection using materials like butyl tape.
The support posts or caissons come next. Then, the Tasker cuts the boards and lays them out. Installers usually utilise steel bracket ties for support and an electric planer to keep the boards flush.
After finishing this main frame of the deck, the main boards and decking material are installed. The deck installation specialist maintains 1⁄4” gaps between the boards to allow the wood to expand and contract depending on the weather. Lastly, they bolt the wood planks to the support posts using the anchor brackets. They’ll nail down the perimeter, inspect the entire deck, then let you check. And just like that, your deck is ready for you to furnish, decorate, and enjoy.
Note: If you haven’t secured a permit for the deck construction, you can request your Tasker to do this for you.
Deck staining and sealing
Built a new deck but have yet to get it stained and sealed? Need to give your expansive deck its yearly application of deck sealer? Deck installers near you can do the job.
Specialists can prepare the surfaces, apply the stain, and offer tips on maintaining its condition. If it’s a sealing job, it will consist of cleaning, power-washing, and sanding, followed by one to two coats of sealant.
Deck repair
Eventually, the presence of cracks, splinters, or a greyish hue on your deck will get bothersome. Luckily, your hired Tasker can take this burden off your shoulders. Specialists check for rotting wood, inspect the ledger (the part attached to your house), as well as the joists, beams, and railings, to make sure everything is at its best condition.
The repair process can be simple (like securing loose posts) or complex (preventing a collapsed deck). Just consult your Tasker if you want to thoroughly check your deck’s current state.
In the mood to make more home upgrades? You can hire skilled Taskers in house painting, gardening, flooring, gate installation, roofing, and more.

Decking replacement in the garden
£1,000
Addiscombe, Greater London
14th Aug 2025
A part of the garden (about half) is covered by a wooden decking which was done around 2011. Now it has run out of its life and needs to be replaced. Ideally we want something thats lifelong and is low maintenance so paved stone slabs might be better option than a new decking. We are open to ideas. The photos are now included the dimensions of the space to be paved with stone or new decking is 6.6m x 3m
Decking extended by 2m on one side. Currently it’s 360x280cm.

Addiscombe, Greater London

I would like to extend our decking by 2m on the width. It is currently 360x280cm. The 280m side needs extended - the boards run parallel with this side. I’ll buy the materials and do the ground work as there will be some plant removal and digging. All you have to do is let me know what you need. We have lots of tools you can use (drop saw etc) Photo of the decking currently (only picture I had in my phone!)


Brilliant job. Pleasant and polite. Really knew what he was doing and was adaptable to the job. Highly recommended and would use again. Thanks P!
