Beckenham BR3 · Composite decking
The look of a deck without the yearly staining.
As local composite decking installers, we supply and fit composite decking across Beckenham BR3: low-maintenance boards on a new, well-built frame, finished with matching steps, edge and fascia boards. Our biggest composite deck in Beckenham is around 50m² under a custom pergola.

Your garden, considered
Composite boards are made to resist rot and splintering, and they do not need sanding, staining or oiling each year, which makes composite a popular choice when an old timber deck needs replacing. A wash down is usually all they need to stay looking smart.
The boards are only half the story. Under every composite deck is a timber frame, and that frame has to be right: joists at the spacing the board maker specifies, protected along the top, on solid supports. On Barry's deck in Kennington we protected every joist with DPC tape and laid heavy-duty membrane underneath before the grey composite went down.
Finishing makes a composite deck look built-in rather than added on. Fascia boards close off the sides, steps are clad to match, and hidden fixings mean there is not a screw in sight on top.

Materials & possibilities
These are the details we talk through on the survey, so the finished deck looks and performs the way you expect.
Composite boards are heavier and more flexible than timber, so the joists underneath must be closer together and dead level, or the deck will dip between them. Our composite decks go on new timber frames: we protect the joist tops so water cannot sit on them, and keep the timber off the ground, which matters on Beckenham's heavier clay soils.

Documented project · Beckenham BR3 · In Beckenham
Carmel's garden in Beckenham had an old deck across the back of the house. We removed the old deck and its frame, fitted around 50m² of new composite decking with a step, built a custom 8m x 4m pergola over it, and fitted around nine closeboard panels down the side, in about 10 days for £18,000 including VAT.
