Composite Decking Styles & Colours
Modern composite decking is available in a wide range of finishes and colours that suit different garden aesthetics and home styles. Wood-effect finishes capture the visual warmth of timber without any of the maintenance.
Light Oak / Natural Teak
Warm honey tones that brighten a garden and complement light brickwork, rendered walls, and light-coloured furniture. The grain texture runs along the length of the board, giving the deck a natural, organic feel.
Grey / Charcoal
The most popular contemporary choice, pairing well with modern architecture, anthracite window frames, and dark fencing. Nuanced colour variation means no two boards look identical.
Dark Walnut / Ebony
Rich, deep tones that create a dramatic, high-end finish and photograph exceptionally well. Perfect for creating a striking contrast in vibrant, heavily planted gardens.
Hidden Fixings
Hidden fixings are standard in our installations. Surface-screwed decking looks functional, but hidden fixings give the deck surface a clean, uninterrupted appearance — no visible fasteners, no proud screw heads to snag feet.
Why Choose Composite Over Timber?
Timber decking has been around for generations, but most homeowners aren't looking for a maintenance project. Here's why composite consistently wins:
No annual maintenance
Timber needs sanding, oiling, or staining every one to two years. Composite requires no painting, no staining, and no oiling — ever.
Won't rot or warp
Engineered specifically to resist moisture penetration, so they won't swell, contract, or rot — even in a shaded, north-facing garden.
No splinters
Timber boards split over time, creating sharp fibres. Composite boards have a smooth, capped surface that stays consistent and safe.
UV stable
Quality composite is UV-treated to prevent the bleaching and fading that affects timber. The colour you choose stays true for years.
Eco-friendly
Manufactured from a blend of recycled wood fibre and recycled plastics — a more sustainable choice than virgin-sawn hardwood.
Looks premium
Modern composite boards feature deeply realistic wood-grain textures and nuanced colour variation that genuinely read as wood.
The honest caveat: composite costs more upfront than pressure-treated softwood timber. But when you factor in zero maintenance costs over a 15-year lifespan versus annual treatment for timber, composite works out significantly cheaper across its life.
Our Composite Decking Work
Take a look at some of our recent composite decking transformations.
Our Decking Installation Process
We follow a structured installation process on every job. The structural integrity of a deck depends as much on what's underneath it as the boards on top.
Free Home Survey
We visit your property, assess the site, discuss your vision, and take precise measurements. You get a detailed quote with no obligation.
Ground Prep & Frame
Clearing vegetation and ensuring proper drainage. The subframe is built from pressure-treated joists or aluminium framework, set at correct centres so there's no flex.
Board Installation
Composite boards are fixed using concealed clip fixings. Boards are spaced correctly for drainage and thermal movement, checking for level throughout.
Fascia Boards & Edges
The perimeter is finished with matching fascia boards that conceal the frame and give the deck a fully finished appearance with no exposed edges.
Final Inspection
We inspect board alignment, fixing integrity, and drainage clearance. We walk you through the completed work before we leave the site.
Adding Steps, Balustrades & Lighting
A deck doesn't have to be a flat platform. The right additions turn it into a complete outdoor living space:
- Decking steps — allow the deck to flow naturally into the garden at different levels, integrating visually with the deck.
- Balustrades & handrails — glass panels maintain sight lines, while metal or composite rails add a contemporary edge and safety.
- Outdoor lighting — low-voltage deck lights or step lighting installed during the build transform how you use the deck after sunset.
