When it may need urgent attention
Soft or broken boards are a trip and fall hazard. At rental and holiday properties, it's sensible to close off the damaged area until it's repaired.
Before you book
- Say how high the deck is. Decking more than 30cm above ground generally needs planning permission.
- Mention whether it's timber or composite.
- Ask whether the frame underneath has been checked, not just the boards.
Qualifications and safety
Raised decks need sound joists and secure balustrades. Repairs should cover the structure as well as the surface.
