Picture summer evenings on a deck that won't splinter, fade or demand endless maintenance. Composite decking brings that dream to life for Bexley homeowners tired of weathered timber.

Those Victorian terraces around Bexleyheath Broadway weren't built with modern outdoor living in mind. Space comes at a premium, yet families crave usable gardens year-round. Composite boards solve the puzzle – they're slip-resistant when wet, stay cooler underfoot than timber, and handle everything from kids' bikes to garden furniture without showing wear. The material's come a long way from early plastic-looking versions.
Installation starts with proper groundwork – crucial given Bexley's clay soil tendencies. Steel subframes prevent the seasonal movement that plagues traditional timber structures. Each board locks into hidden fixings, creating seamless surfaces without visible screws. Modern composites blend recycled plastics with wood fibres, achieving authentic grain patterns while resisting the moss and algae that thrive in our damp winters.
Twenty years fitting decks across Southeast London teaches you what lasts. Local knowledge matters when drainage runs towards Crayford marshes affect garden water tables. Bexley residents appreciate straight talk about materials and realistic timescales.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Budget £85-120 per square metre installed. A typical 20m² deck for a semi-detached Bexley garden runs £1,700-2,400. Premium boards with deeper grain textures push towards the higher end.
Absolutely – from Sidcup's leafy streets to new builds near Crayford station. DA5 postcodes are our regular patch, including areas around Bexley Village and up towards Bexleyheath.
Most Bexley decks take 3-5 days from breaking ground to hosting your first barbecue. Larger or complex designs might stretch to a week.
Every installation carries decade-long protection against structural issues and material defects. Composite boards themselves often carry 25-year manufacturer warranties. Should anything fail within ten years, we'll fix it – no quibbles.
With reinforced substructures, absolutely. The key is calculating load distribution during design. Many Bexley gardens now feature spa areas on composite platforms – just needs proper planning from the outset.
