Professional composite decking installation for Devon homes - low-maintenance decking built on solid frame for years of outdoor enjoyment without annual staining.
Decking That Stays Looking Good
Composite decking needs proper installation. Poor frame construction and incorrect spacing cause boards to warp and fail. Professional installation means decking that performs as promised.
💡 Pro tip: Composite expands and contracts. Correct spacing between boards is essential - too tight and boards buckle in summer heat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why composite over timber?
No staining or oiling needed. Composite decking resists rot, won't splinter, and keeps colour for years. Higher initial cost, lower ongoing maintenance.
Do you supply the boards?
We can supply or work with boards you've purchased. Many brands available - we advise on quality and value.
What about the frame?
Composite boards on proper timber or aluminium frame. The frame is as important as the boards - we don't cut corners underneath.
How long does installation take?
Depends on size and complexity. Small deck 2-3 days, larger areas or complex shapes longer. We quote based on your specific requirements.
