Traditional timber decking looks beautiful — for about two years. After that, the British climate takes over: green algae, grey weathering, warping, splinters and the annual ritual of sanding and re-oiling. Composite decking is engineered specifically to resist all of this, making it the smarter long-term choice for Leicester gardens.
Made from a blend of wood fibre and recycled plastic, composite boards hold their colour and structure through freeze-thaw cycles, summer heat, and the persistent moisture of a Midlands winter. Most premium composite ranges carry a 25-year structural warranty — something no timber board can match.
We install composite decking from trusted brands including Trex, Millboard, and Cladco. We'll help you choose the right range for your budget, garden style and usage — whether you want a natural wood effect for a traditional Leicester garden or a sleek contemporary finish.
We build a galvanised steel or pressure-treated timber sub-frame at the correct height with a slight drainage gradient. The frame is the foundation — we never cut corners here.
Composite boards are fixed with hidden clip systems for a clean, screw-free surface. We leave the manufacturer-specified expansion gaps to accommodate summer heat.
Perimeter boards and fascia strips are fitted for a clean, finished edge. Steps and balustrades are built to your specification.
We inspect the whole surface for level and secure fixing, then clean the deck down. Composite decking is ready to use immediately after installation.
The upfront cost difference is real, but factor in 20+ years of annual oiling, sanding and potential board replacement and composite is significantly cheaper over a deck's lifetime.
Joists spaced too far apart cause boards to flex and feel bouncy underfoot. We follow manufacturer guidelines precisely — typically 400mm centres for composite boards.
Decking built flush to the ground with no airflow underneath rots from the bottom up. We always maintain a 150mm+ clearance and ensure water can escape.
Boards should always run away from the house so water drains off the leading edge, not towards the wall. An obvious mistake that's costly to correct once the frame is built.
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Standard composite can be slippery. We always recommend a grooved or textured board finish, and all the brands we install achieve a slip-resistance rating suitable for UK residential use. Anti-slip strips are available as an additional option.
Yes, but the sub-frame needs to be significantly reinforced for the weight. We build hot tub-rated frames as a specific project type — always specify this at quote stage so we design accordingly.
