Why Choose Composite Decking Over Timber?

For modern London gardens, composite decking is rapidly replacing traditional timber as the material of choice. While natural wood possesses an undeniable charm, it requires relentless, time-consuming maintenance to prevent it from deteriorating in the unpredictable UK weather. High-quality composite decking fundamentally solves this problem. Manufactured from a robust blend of recycled wood fibers and advanced polymers, it completely eliminates the risks of rotting, warping, and splitting. You will never need to spend your weekends sanding, staining, or oiling your deck again. Furthermore, composite boards are entirely splinter-free and highly slip-resistant, making them an incredibly safe option for young families and pet owners. With a guaranteed lifespan of over 25 years, investing in a premium composite deck ensures your outdoor living space remains immaculate, functional, and deeply inviting decade after decade.

Millboard vs Trex - Which Composite Decking Is Right for You?

We are approved installers for both Millboard and Trex, the two leading composite decking manufacturers in the UK. While both offer exceptional durability, they cater to different aesthetic preferences and project requirements.

Feature Millboard Trex
Appearance Hand-moulded, ultra-realistic natural wood look Clean, modern, consistent finish
Texture Deeply embossed, pliable elastomer surface Smooth or lightly grooved protective shell
Warranty 25 years (Residential) 25–50 years (depending on range)
Sustainability Polyurethane resin and mineral blend (wood-free) 95% recycled wood fibers and plastic film

Board Styles & Fixing Systems

The beauty of a premium composite deck lies in its seamless finish. Unlike traditional timber decks which are blighted by visible, rusting screws, modern composite systems utilize hidden fasteners. Trex boards typically employ a hidden clip system that slots perfectly into grooved edges, ensuring uniform spacing and a flawlessly clean surface. Millboard takes this a step further with their proprietary solid boards; their unique Lastane surface self-heals over the specialized Durafix screws, rendering the fixings completely invisible. Whether you prefer the sleek, uniform aesthetic of grooved boards or the solid, architectural feel of square-edged planks, we ensure a flawless, blemish-free installation every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does composite decking last?
25–30 years for premium brands like Millboard and Trex.
Is composite decking slippery when wet?
No - the grooved and textured surfaces provide excellent grip.
Does composite decking need maintenance?
Occasional wash with soapy water - no oiling or staining required.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes - our founders provide free on-site consultations across all 32 boroughs.
What is the difference between Millboard and Trex?
Millboard = premium textured realistic look; Trex = solid colour, excellent value.
Does composite decking get hot in summer?
Like any outdoor surface, composite decking will retain heat during peak summer days. However, modern ranges are engineered to dissipate heat quickly, and lighter colour options stay remarkably cool. It is perfectly safe for bare feet and pets.
Can composite decking be laid on an existing base?
We can occasionally utilize an existing concrete pad if it is structurally sound and has adequate drainage falls. However, we never lay new composite boards over an old timber subframe, as the subframe will rot long before the composite boards fail. We always build a new, pressure-treated or composite subframe for guaranteed longevity.
How long does composite decking installation take?
A standard residential deck (approx 30m²) typically takes 3 to 5 days to install. This includes the dismantling of the old deck, constructing a robust new subframe, and the precision fitting of the composite boards and fascias.
