About
About our composite decking
Composite Decking is skilled work that pays to get right. Here is why it is worth bringing in an experienced local team:
We fit composite decking on a sub-frame built for it, with the right board spacing, drainage and ventilation underneath so the boards perform as they should. Done properly, composite gives you a deck that keeps its colour and finish with almost no upkeep, and we use hidden fixings for a clean, splinter-free result the whole family can use.

What's included
What's included with composite decking
A professional composite decking job is about more than the finish you see. Here is what is included when we do it properly:
- A ventilated sub-frame built for composite boards
- Low-maintenance composite boards in your choice of colour
- Hidden fixings for a clean finish
- Correct drainage and airflow underneath
The boards
Capped composite in a choice of finishes
Composite boards are made from wood fibre and recycled plastic, and the better ones are capped with a hard outer layer that resists fading, staining and scratches. We fit capped boards from established ranges in a choice of colours and grain finishes, so you can match the deck to the house and garden. Because the boards do not splinter, warp or need sanding, they suit families, bare feet and pets, and they hold their look far better than timber over the years.
Fitted right
The sub-frame, and why composite pays off
The sub-frame is still where the work is. Composite boards expand and contract with the temperature, so we leave the correct gaps at the ends and along the joints, and set the joists at the spacing the manufacturer specifies so the boards never bow or sag between them. We build in falls and airflow so water runs off and the frame stays dry, and we use hidden clip fixings that lock the boards down while keeping the surface clean and screw-free.
Composite costs more than timber up front, but it earns that back in time saved: no annual staining or oiling, just an occasional wash to keep it fresh. A textured, grippy surface helps in the wet, and the colour stays even through the seasons rather than silvering like untreated wood. If you have an old timber deck that has seen better days, we can strip it out and rebuild in composite on a fresh, properly ventilated frame, and we take all the old material away. The boards we fit come from established ranges with a long manufacturer warranty, often twenty five years or more, so you can be confident the finish is built to last.
