What it is Composite decking is a low-maintenance alternative to timber decking, engineered wood-plastic composite boards fixed to a properly-engineered timber sub-frame. Composite doesn't need annual staining or sealing, doesn't splinter, and doesn't rot. Who it's for Homeowners tired of sanding and re-staining a timber deck every spring, clients installing a garden room or hot tub who want the surrounding surface to match the longevity of the building, and property owners looking for a finished, low-effort garden. When you need it When the existing timber deck is on its last legs, when a new garden room or hot tub needs a proper surface around it, or when the current garden is scrappy grass and you want a genuine outdoor room. Why it matters Composite boards installed onto a bad sub-frame still fail, they sag, drain badly, and stain in patches. The sub-frame is where most of the durability lives, and it's the bit most contractors under-invest in. What goes wrong ## The cost of getting this wrong. Outdoor buildings sit outside in Scottish weather for 20+ years. The mistakes below are the ones we're most often called in to fix. ### Cheap sub-frame under premium boards Spending on top-tier composite boards and cheaping out on the sub-frame is the most common decking mistake. The boards outlast the frame by decades and the whole deck fails from the bottom up. ### No drainage Decks laid without correct spacing and slope trap water, breed algae, and turn slippery within a season. Drainage is a design decision, not an install-day accident. ### Composite over grass with no ventilation A ground-hugging deck with no airflow underneath grows mould, warps and stinks after one wet winter. Ventilation gaps are non-negotiable. How we work ## A process built for premium results. The same process runs on every project, from a £640 shed to a £45,000 garden room, so nothing slips and every customer knows what happens next. - 01 ### Enquiry Call to talk through what the deck is for, roughly what area you're looking at, and how it sits with the rest of the garden. - 02 ### Site survey We visit to check ground, existing surfaces, drainage, and where the deck sits against the house and any garden buildings. - 03 ### Design & quote Bespoke design and itemised quote covering sub-frame, boards, trims, edge detail and any steps or balustrading. - 04 ### Groundworks & sub-frame Ground prepared, damp-proof membrane and any drainage installed, and a treated-timber sub-frame built to spec. - 05 ### Board install Composite boards installed with correct gapping, hidden-fix clips where required, and precision edge detailing. - 06 ### Handover We walk you through care, cleaning and any minor movement to expect in the first year. What you get ## The Signature difference. ### Genuinely low-maintenance No annual staining, sealing or re-oiling. Occasional wash-down is all it needs. ### Engineered sub-frame The bit under the boards is the bit that determines longevity, and it's the bit we don't compromise on. ### Correct drainage & ventilation Board gapping, deck slope and sub-frame ventilation all designed in, not left to chance. ### Integrated with garden rooms & tubs Where the deck surrounds a garden room, hot tub or outdoor kitchen, we design the whole scheme together. ### Clean edge detailing Precision trims, hidden fixings and matched step detail, the finish that separates a premium deck from a DIY one. ### Fully insured £5m public liability, £5m employers liability across every install. In detail ## The specification, materials and options. ### Composite boards Composite decking is a mix of wood fibre and recycled plastic, produced in solid or hollow-core boards depending on manufacturer. Higher-end capped composites have a hard polymer surface that resists staining and UV fading significantly better than early-generation composites. Boards come in a range of colours and finishes, from grey and dark charcoal through to warmer wood-toned finishes. ### Sub-frame, the bit that matters Sub-frames are built from pressure-treated softwood or, for higher-spec projects, aluminium. Joist spacing is set by the specific board manufacturer's requirements, get it wrong and boards deflect and creak. The sub-frame is supported off engineered pads or ground screws, correctly levelled and drained. This is where most of the difference between a 20-year deck and a 5-year deck lives. ### Drainage & ventilation Boards are laid with a specified gap for drainage and thermal movement, under-gapped decks pool water and warp, over-gapped decks look loose. The sub-frame is set with a slight slope so water sheds cleanly. The void under the deck is ventilated so air moves and moisture doesn't sit. This is essential in a Scottish climate. ### Steps, edges & balustrading Deck edges are finished with matched trims and fascia so no board ends or sub-frame are visible. Steps are built as continuations of the deck rather than bolted on afterwards, so nothing looks or feels tacked on. Balustrading is available in composite, timber or metal to suit the design. ### Integration with garden rooms, hot tubs and kitchens The most common deck installs sit around a garden room, under a hot tub, or as a base for an outdoor kitchen. Each of these has specific structural or drainage considerations. Hot tub decks in particular need heavy-duty structural sub-frames engineered for the filled weight of the tub, a standard deck spec is not enough. ### Care & longevity Composite decking is genuinely low-maintenance, a wash with soapy water once or twice a year is usually all it needs. Boards may fade slightly in the first year as they weather. A well-installed composite deck should hold up for 20+ years without significant intervention.
