Low-Maintenance Composite Decks for Manchester Gardens

Composite decking suits anyone who wants the look of a timber deck without the yearly round of sanding and staining. We fit it across Manchester and Greater Manchester, for family gardens, hot tub surrounds and commercial spaces.

Composite boards behave differently from wood, so they need fitting their own way: closer joist spacing, the right clips and expansion gaps at the ends. We follow the board maker's fitting guidance on every deck so the boards stay flat and true.

Where Composite Decking Works Well

Family Gardens

A splinter-free surface for bare feet, with nothing to treat each spring.

Hot Tub Surrounds

Boards that cope with splashes, wet feet and regular use around a hot tub.

Shaded and Damp Corners

Where timber would turn green and slippery, composite is far easier to keep clean.

Commercial Spaces

Seating areas for cafes, bars and other venues that need a smart, hard-wearing finish.

How we carry out the work

How We Fit Composite Decking

No pressure at any stage, and nothing is booked until you have the price in writing.

Choose Boards and Layout

We go through colours and finishes with you and plan the layout to keep cuts and joins to a minimum.

Prepare and Frame

The ground is cleared and membraned, footings set and the frame built level, with joists closer together to suit composite.

Clip and Fix the Boards

Boards go down with hidden clips where the system uses them, leaving the expansion gaps the boards need.

Trim and Finish

Fascias, end trims and any steps are fitted for a clean edge, then the deck is washed down and the site cleared.

Composite Decking Questions

Does composite decking need any maintenance?

Very little. A wash with warm soapy water or a gentle hose down a couple of times a year keeps it clean. There's no sanding, oiling or staining.

Does composite decking get hot in the sun?

Darker boards can get warm in strong sun, as most surfaces do. If the deck faces south and gets full sun, a lighter colour is worth considering.

Can composite boards go on an old timber frame?

Only if the frame is sound, level and has joists at the spacing composite needs. Most older frames are spaced too widely, so we usually build a new one.

Is composite decking slippery?

Many composite boards have a textured or grooved surface for grip. As with any surface, keeping it clear of leaves and algae is the best way to keep it safe underfoot.
