The Smarter Alternative to Timber
A Deck That Looks After Itself
Composite decking combines the natural beauty of wood with modern engineering. Made of 60% timber, our wood-grain boards are waterproof, slip resistant and splinter free, so they withstand most wear and tear without the staining, sealing and repairs that traditional timber decking demands. Whether you're building a new deck for a garden, pool area, patio or anything in between, we'll make sure you get the materials you need to get the job done.
Boards go down quickly and consistently — engineered dimensions mean no warps, knots or surprises, which means faster installs and less waste. That's why builders, developers and DIYers across Ipswich, Kesgrave, Woodbridge, Felixstowe and the rest of Suffolk keep coming back to us for decking. Supply only, at genuine trade prices — no trade account needed.
For Installers & Landscapers
Consistent boards, faster installs, less waste — and a finish your customer won't be calling you back to re-stain.
For Builders & Developers
Spec one product across plots and commercial projects. Quick, easy installation with minimal inconvenience to your programme.
For Confident DIYers
Cuts and fixes like timber, without timber's temperament. Bring your deck plan to the counter and we'll work out quantities together.
Genuine Trade Prices
Supply only means no installation overhead in the price — just the boards you need, at the counter price.
Why Composite Wins
Built for Decks That Get Used
Timber looks lovely on day one. Composite still looks lovely in year ten — with nothing more than basic cleaning in between.
Waterproof
No soaking, swelling or rot. Ideal for gardens, patios and pool surrounds that see British weather all year round.
Slip Resistant
A safer surface when wet — a must around pools and hot tubs, and a real selling point for family gardens.
Splinter Proof
Bare feet and paws welcome. No splinters means no sanding — and one less liability concern on commercial jobs.
Hard-Wearing
60% timber composite engineered to withstand heavy foot traffic and harsh weather — no regular repairs needed down the line.
Natural Looking
Authentic wood-grain texture in solid or woodgrain options — the warmth of wood without the workload.
Low Maintenance
No staining, no sealing, no annual treatment. Basic cleaning keeps composite looking and performing like new.
Two Textures, One Board
Custom Designs, No Extra Cost
Every board in our range is two-sided: a woodgrain texture on one face and a grooved texture on the other. Pick and mix from the three colours, flip boards for texture contrast, and lay them flat or diagonally — the design is entirely up to you or your client.
With timber, changing the look of a deck means a lot of work (and often a lot of money on premium wood types). With composite, patterns come from texture and board placement — so every deck can be unique to the home it belongs to.
- Flip it: woodgrain one side, grooved the other — choose per board.
- Mix it: combine Grey, Black and Antique Ash in one design.
- Lay it your way: flat, diagonal, borders and patterns — the layout is the client's call.
Solid or Woodgrain Options
Three Colours in Stock
Tap any colour to view it full size — or see boards in the flesh at the Martlesham trade counter before you commit.
Grey
Cool and contemporary — pairs beautifully with anthracite windows, bifolds and modern landscaping.
Black
A bold, sharp finish that frames planting and outdoor furniture — a favourite on high-end garden builds.
Antique Ash
Warm, weathered wood tones for a natural look — the closest to classic timber, without the upkeep.
Beyond the Back Garden
Perfect for Commercial Projects
Composite decks offer unmatched durability and cost-effectiveness that traditional timber simply cannot match on commercial work. The waterproof, slip-resistant surface withstands heavy foot traffic and harsh weather with minimal maintenance, and the splinter-free construction eliminates a potential liability concern while keeping a consistently professional appearance year-round.
The extended lifespan of composite materials means reduced long-term costs for property owners — an intelligent investment for shopping centres, restaurants, hotels and other commercial establishments. Unlike timber that needs regular staining, sealing and replacement, composite keeps its structural integrity and looks with only basic cleaning.
Simpler for Your Team
Consistent dimensions and engineered properties eliminate surprises — faster installation times and reduced material waste on commercial projects.
Safety Compliance Built In
Slip-resistant surface properties make it particularly suitable for high-traffic applications where safety compliance is paramount.

Building It Yourself?
A Great Weekend Project for a Confident DIYer
Composite boards cut and fix like timber — without warps, knots or splinters — and go down onto a standard deck subframe. Get the subframe level and well supported, allow the recommended expansion gaps, and the boards do the rest. Bring your deck plan to the counter and we'll help you work out boards, layout and quantities before you buy a thing.
Prefer someone to build it for you? We can recommend trusted local landscapers and installers who are customers of ours — and for windows and doors to match your new outdoor space, our sister company Homestyle Windows UK is in the same building here at Martlesham.
Composite Decking FAQs
Questions the Trade Asks Us
What is composite decking made of?
Our wood-grain composite decking is made of 60% timber combined with modern engineered materials. The result keeps the natural beauty of wood while being waterproof, slip resistant and splinter free — so it withstands most wear and tear without the regular repairs timber needs.
What colours are available?
Three colours: Grey, Black and Antique Ash, in solid or woodgrain options. Every board is also two-sided — woodgrain texture on one face, grooved texture on the other — so you can mix colours and textures to create a design unique to each home.
Is composite better than timber decking?
It depends on the job, but composite is a popular alternative because it never needs staining or sealing, doesn't splinter, stays grippy when wet, and holds its looks year after year. Timber is cheaper per board up front, but composite usually costs less over the life of the deck once maintenance is factored in.
Can a DIYer build a composite deck?
Yes — boards have consistent, engineered dimensions with no warping, knots or surprises, which makes them easier to work with than timber. They cut with ordinary woodworking tools and fix to a standard deck subframe. Bring your deck plan to the counter and we'll help you work out boards and quantities.
Is it slippery when wet?
No — slip resistance is one of composite decking's biggest advantages, which is why it's so popular around pools, hot tubs and in commercial settings where safety compliance matters.
How do I maintain it?
Basic cleaning is all it needs — no staining, sealing or annual treatment. Unlike timber decking, composite maintains its structural integrity and looks with just an occasional wash down.
Is it suitable for commercial projects?
Very much so. The waterproof, slip-resistant surface withstands heavy foot traffic and harsh weather with minimal maintenance, and the splinter-free construction removes a liability concern — a smart long-term investment for shopping centres, restaurants, hotels and other commercial establishments.
Do you deliver to site?
Yes — local delivery across Ipswich, Suffolk and the surrounding area, or collect from the Martlesham trade counter. Tell us board quantities and site access when you order.
