One of the first questions we’re asked by holiday home owners across Skegness, Ingoldmells, and the wider Lincolnshire coast is simple: how much does UPVC decking actually cost?
It’s a fair question — and an important one, because the cheapest quote isn’t always the best value. As a decking company based right here in Skegness, we want you to understand exactly what goes into pricing a UPVC decking project, so you can budget with confidence and avoid nasty surprises further down the line.
Why UPVC Decking Costs More Than Timber Upfront
It’s true that UPVC decking generally costs more per square metre to install than basic timber decking. That’s because you’re paying for a fully engineered, waterproof, UV-stable board — not a length of treated softwood.
But upfront price only tells half the story. Timber decking on the Lincolnshire coast typically needs re-staining or oiling every year, plus repairs for warped or rotten boards every few seasons. Once you factor in maintenance costs, callouts, and eventual replacement, UPVC decking is very often the more cost-effective option over the lifetime of your holiday home. Our detailed UPVC vs wood and composite comparison breaks this down in more detail.
What Affects the Cost of Your UPVC Decking Project
Every holiday home and property is different, so no two quotes look exactly the same. The main factors that affect the cost of UPVC decking in Skegness and Lincolnshire include:
Size of the deck. The larger the area, the more boards, substructure, and labour required — this is usually the biggest factor in your overall quote.
Design complexity. A simple, single-level rectangular deck costs less than a multi-level, wrap-around, or custom-shaped design with steps, balustrades, or built-in seating.
Groundworks required. Sites that need levelling, slabbing, or additional drainage work — common on some Lincolnshire holiday parks — will factor into the final price. Our own groundworks team can usually handle this as part of your project.
Access to the property. Decking installed on holiday parks in Ingoldmells or Chapel St Leonards with restricted vehicle access may require additional planning and labour time.
Extras and features. Balustrades, steps, lighting, or a deck designed to wrap around a hot tub will all affect the total cost.
Site location. Coastal-facing plots exposed to the elements may need additional groundwork or fixings to ensure long-term stability.
Why a Free Site Visit Matters
Because so many factors affect the final price, we don’t believe in generic online price calculators. Instead, every Superior Decking quote starts with a free, no-obligation site visit, so we can assess your holiday home, discuss your design ideas, and give you an accurate figure — not a rough estimate that changes once work begins.
This is also your chance to talk through colours, finishes, and layout options with our team before anything is confirmed. Take a look at our gallery for design inspiration ahead of your visit.

Is UPVC Decking a Good Investment for Holiday Lets?
