Why Composite?

Installing Composite Decking in Surrey

Composite decking offers an attractive, durable and low-maintenance alternative to traditional timber, but not all products are equal. Boards can cost from around £20 to more than £130 per length, with significant differences in their construction, finish, performance and warranty.

Choosing the right board is only part of the process. The substructure beneath it must be designed for the ground conditions, height, loading, drainage, ventilation and decking system being installed. With more than 25 years of experience, we specify and build every deck properly from the ground up, giving it the strength and stability to perform for years to come.

What our clients say

Wallington Decking
John gave a quote which was a reasonable price, then started work within two weeks. There was a few issues involving the pond and wisteria hanging from the main deck supports. but John overcome these in a very professional manner. Nothing was to much effort. The workmanship is excellent. We are so pleased with how the deck has turned out.
Decking in Coulsdon
John and Alex did a fantastic job building us a new deck. They worked hard to overcome the problems they encountered on the site, and the finished deck looks great. They were prompt, extremely polite and left everything clean and tidy at the end of each day. I would highly recommend them.
Lakeside Decking
Our 30-year-old hardwood deck over a small lake was rotting. John did a fabulous job repairing and reinforcing the substructure and installing Millboard composite decking without falling in the lake once! Looks great. 25-year guarantee on Millboard - excellent job done within the timeframe quoted. Thanks, John.

Frequently asked questions

Who installs composite and timber decking in Surrey?

Deck & Design creates and installs composite and timber decking across Surrey and the South London border. Based in Purley, we bring over 25 years of trade experience to creating outdoor spaces that suit our clients’ homes, gardens and lifestyles.

Is composite decking better than timber decking?

The best choice depends on the appearance, budget and maintenance requirements of the project. Composite decking generally requires less ongoing maintenance, while timber offers a natural finish that can be refreshed with suitable treatments. We install both and explain the benefits of each so our clients can make an informed choice.

Which composite decking brands do we install?

We work with Millboard, Trex, TimberTech and Composite Prime, including the Redux and Elements ranges. Each offers different finishes, colours and specifications. We help our clients compare the options and select a product suited to their garden, intended use and budget.

How much does a professionally installed deck cost?

The cost depends on the size of the deck, the materials chosen, the supporting structure and the preparation required. Sloping ground, steps, balustrades and additional features can also affect the price. We assess each project individually and provide a quotation based on the proposed design and installation requirements.

Can we build decking in a sloping or uneven garden?

Yes. We can design decking for sloping or uneven gardens, using an appropriate supporting structure to create a practical outdoor space. Depending on the site, the design may include raised sections, steps or different levels. We assess the ground conditions, access and any relevant planning considerations before recommending an approach.

Can we build a pergola or other garden structures alongside a deck?

Yes. Alongside decking, we build pergolas, retaining structures and other garden features. Planning these elements together helps us create a cohesive design, with connected spaces for seating, dining and enjoying the garden.
