On a typical uPVC side deck, roughly half the price is boards, rails, posts and fixings, a fifth to a quarter is the galvanised or aluminium frame and feet, and the rest is labour, delivery and the site visit. That is why the choice of board moves the total so much, and why a long deck is cheaper per square metre than a short one.
Park-grade uPVC boards cost more than garden decking boards because they are extruded with fire-retardant compound, a textured top and internal webs, and because every deck needs a matching balustrade: posts, handrails and spindles run to several metres on even a small deck. Composite boards cost about the same; timber is cheaper to buy but many parks no longer allow it.
A caravan deck cannot have posts concreted into the pitch, so it sits on a frame levelled on adjustable feet or pads. Galvanised steel or aluminium frames cost more than timber joists and are worth it: the frame is the part that fails first on a damp pitch, and it is the part that lets the deck be moved later.
A level hardstanding is the cheapest start. A sloping grass pitch means taller feet at one end, longer steps and sometimes a kerb, and a pitch with the services in the wrong place adds a hatch. Access matters too: a park that only allows deliveries on certain days, or a pitch a long carry from the road, adds labour.
Installers are busiest from March to June, when every owner wants a deck for the summer. Prices do not usually change, but lead times stretch to six or eight weeks. Ordering in autumn for a winter fit, if the park allows winter access, gets the shortest wait.
Typical UK supply-and-fit prices from the published price lists and cost guides of UK caravan decking manufacturers, suppliers and installers, reviewed October 2026. National figures, not specific to any park, and some lists do not state whether VAT is included. Guarding heights follow Approved Document K (GOV.UK), which parks and installers use as the reference for balustrades and steps.
Fitted uPVC decking is typically £200 to £350 per square metre, including the subframe, a spindle balustrade and the labour. A 12 x 8 ft front deck comes to £2,300 to £4,350, a 24 x 6 ft side deck £3,200 to £5,950 and a wrap-around on a 36 ft van £5,450 to £10,000. Most jobs land between £2,300 to £5,950; wrap-arounds with glass run higher.
£200 to £350 per m² for uPVC, £180 to £300 for composite and £120 to £200 for treated timber, all supply and fit. Small decks cost more per square metre because the visit, the steps and the gate cost the same whatever the size.
Park-grade uPVC or composite boards with a fire rating, a galvanised or aluminium frame on adjustable feet instead of posts in the ground, and a full balustrade, gate and steps on nearly every job. A garden deck often has none of those.
Self-build uPVC kits with boards, rails and fixings to a plan typically cost £950 to £4,700 delivered, with no fitting. Check that your park allows owner-fitted decking and that the kit's boards carry the fire rating the park asks for.
Steps £150 to £500 a flight, a gate £120 to £300, glass panels instead of spindles £150 to £300 per metre, skirting round the van £700 to £1,400, deck lights £30 to £60 each and removing an old deck £150 to £600.
Some published price lists include VAT and some do not say. If a quote excludes it and the installer is VAT registered, allow 20% on top. Ask for the VAT position on every quote so you compare like with like.
