A cautionary tale…
Unfortunately this deck had completely failed from the inside out due to poor installation by Bodgit & Leggit Ltd.
Once lifted, we found large amounts of rubble from an old garden wall that had been shoved underneath, with sections even propped up on debris rather than being properly supported.
That meant constant moisture retention underneath the structure, leading to rot and unsafe movement throughout.
This whole deck was removed and rebuilt correctly with proper support, drainage consideration and damp proof protection to give it the longest service life possible.
A reminder that the cheapest quote can sometimes become the most expensive in the long run. Quality workmanship and reputable, local trades are well worth investing in.
