Who We Are & What We Do
Composite Decking World Ltd is an Essex-based specialist composite decking supplier - not a general landscaper who stocks composite as one product among many. Composite decking is what we do.
We supply our own range of composite decking boards in five finishes, all carrying a 10-year guarantee, at the lowest prices in the UK market. For customers across Essex, London and the surrounding counties, we go a step further: we coordinate installation through our network of trusted, independently operated local installers, so you get one point of contact for materials and fitting without having to find your own contractor.
Supply & Trusted Installer Network
We supply the boards, accessories and fixings, and connect you with a vetted, trusted installer from our local network to carry out the fitting. One quote covers both, coordinated by us, even though the physical installation is carried out by an independent installer.
We work on projects of all sizes across Essex, London and the surrounding counties - from a modest garden deck to a large commercial terrace. Whether you're replacing ageing timber decking, creating a new outdoor space from scratch, or adding a deck to a new build, we can specify the right boards for the job and put you in touch with the right installer.

How Supply & Installation Works: From First Call to Finished Deck
We follow a clear, structured process on every project, whether it's a small garden deck or a large commercial terrace. We handle the supply and coordination; the on-site fitting is carried out by a trusted, independently operated installer from our local network.
-
1Free consultation and site assessment. We start with a conversation - in person or by phone - to understand your project. For larger or more complex decks, we arrange a site visit with one of our trusted installers to assess ground conditions, access, drainage and the existing substrate. This shapes the quote.
-
2Free, itemised quote. You receive a clear written quote covering all materials and labour. We explain what's included, why, and what the alternatives are. No pressure. No obligation.
-
3Board and finish selection. We walk you through our five board finishes - Teak, Chocolate, Silver Grey, Graphite Grey, and Charcoal Black. If you haven't already received your free sample box, we arrange that before you commit, so you can assess the colour in your garden's natural light.
-
4Subframe preparation. A structurally sound subframe is the foundation of every well-built composite deck. Your assigned installer builds from pressure-treated timber or composite joists (the longer-lasting choice), correctly spaced to the manufacturer's specification for your board type. Ground-level decks receive a weed-suppressant membrane and drainage provision.
-
5Board installation with hidden clip fixings. Your installer fits grooved boards using a hidden clip system that engages in the board profile and fastens to the joist, maintaining the correct board-to-board expansion gap automatically. The result is a seamless, screw-free surface. Expansion gaps at perimeters and fixed structures are set precisely to the manufacturer's specification - the step that most DIY and inexperienced installations get wrong.
-
6Edging, trims, and finishing. Fascia boards, edge trims and end caps are fitted in a matching finish, giving the deck a clean, considered perimeter. Steps, balustrades and post bases are included where specified in the quote.
-
7Final walkthrough and handover. Before your installer leaves, they walk through the finished deck with you, explain the minimal maintenance it needs, and confirm the guarantee documentation. Site is left clear and tidy.
The Boards We Supply
We supply our own composite decking range - boards we source, guarantee, and stand behind completely, fitted by a trusted installer from our local network. They are available in five finishes, with embossed wood-grain textures, UV stabilisers and a low-porosity surface that resists staining, algae, and fading.
All boards are manufactured from a blend of recycled wood fibres and recycled plastic, and are designed to perform in the UK climate - resistant to moisture, frost damage, UV fading, and the algae and mould growth that make timber decking in shaded or damp Essex gardens so problematic.
| Board Property | CDW Composite Boards | Pressure-Treated Softwood |
|---|---|---|
| Annual maintenance | None required - occasional wash only | Sanding, staining and sealing every 1–2 years |
| Expected lifespan | 25+ years | 10–15 years with maintenance |
| Rot & moisture resistance | Excellent | Poor without treatment; deteriorates in damp gardens |
| Slip resistance when wet | Textured surface - good | Smooth grain becomes hazardous when wet |
| Splinter risk | None | Increases as timber ages and dries |
| Guarantee | 10 years | Typically none |
Not sure which finish suits your garden? Order a free sample box - all five finishes sent direct to your door. Colours look meaningfully different on screen versus in natural daylight in your specific garden, so we strongly recommend assessing physical samples before choosing.
Areas We Cover for Composite Decking Supply & Installation Across Essex, London & the Surrounding Counties
We supply composite decking and coordinate installation through our trusted installer network across Essex, London, and the surrounding Home Counties.
Residential Composite Decking Installation in Essex & the South East
The majority of our residential projects are for homeowners across Essex, London and the surrounding counties - decking a garden, replacing an old wooden deck, or adding an outdoor dining or entertaining space. Here is what residential customers typically get from our service.
Common Residential Scenarios We Work On
| Scenario | What We Do |
|---|---|
| Timber deck replacement | Old softwood decking that is rotting, splintering, or past the point of reasonable maintenance. Your assigned local installer removes the existing structure, prepares the substrate, and fits a composite deck that won't need replacing for a generation. |
| New deck on an existing garden | A blank patio or lawn area transformed into a usable outdoor living space for dining, relaxing, or entertaining. We design the layout and specify the boards; your local installer builds the subframe and fits the boards to a clean finish. |
| Extension or bifold door terrace | Continuation of interior living space into the garden - popular with rear kitchen-diner extensions. We help match board direction and level to the interior floor finish where possible, coordinated with your installer. |
| Sloping or uneven gardens | Raised or multi-level decks that use the site topography to create tiered outdoor spaces. We advise on layout; your installer designs and builds the subframe to deliver a level, safe surface regardless of ground conditions. |
| Pool surrounds and damp areas | Composite decking is the right choice around pools and in permanently damp or shaded gardens where timber is most vulnerable to rot and slipping hazards. Our boards are slip-resistant and moisture-resistant by design. |

Commercial Composite Decking Installation in Essex & the South East
Composite decking is an excellent material choice for commercial outdoor spaces - it handles high footfall, requires minimal ongoing maintenance, and maintains a professional appearance across large areas without the annual cost of treating or re-boarding timber.
Commercial Settings We Work In
Pubs, Bars & Restaurants
Beer garden terraces, outdoor dining areas and smoking areas. Composite decking handles the heavy footfall, weather exposure and occasional spillage of a commercial hospitality environment without the maintenance overhead of timber - which in a licensed premises setting typically means expensive annual contractor visits to sand, re-stain and re-seal.
Hotels, Holiday Lets & B&Bs
Outdoor terrace areas, poolside decking and garden platforms for accommodation businesses. Composite decking's low-maintenance requirements are particularly valuable for hospitality operators who cannot afford the downtime of annual sanding and sealing, and who need a surface that remains presentable to guests year-round.
Schools, Nurseries & Public Spaces
Outdoor classroom areas, playground decking and communal seating platforms. The splinter-free, slip-resistant surface of composite decking makes it a safe and appropriate choice for settings where children are the primary users. Our boards carry no toxic preservatives and require no chemical treatment during their service life.
Offices & Commercial Properties
Roof terraces, staff breakout areas, and outdoor facilities for commercial office occupiers. Composite decking's durability and ease of maintenance makes it a practical specification for commercial property managers.
Commercial projects are fitted to the same installer standards, use the same board range, and carry the same 10-year product guarantee as our residential work. Contact us to discuss your commercial project requirements.

- Shorter guarantees (some competitors offer 5 years vs our 10)
Composite Decking Supply & Installation Costs in Essex & the South East
Installation cost is the question every homeowner asks first, and it deserves a direct answer - even if a precise figure always requires a site-specific quote.
| Cost Component | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Board supply | Confirmed as part of your free, itemised quote (all five finishes) |
| Subframe materials | Pressure-treated timber or composite joists; cost varies with deck size and height |
| Fixings, clips & edging | Hidden clips, fascia boards, edge trims and end caps; included in our full quote |
| Labour (installation) | Quoted by your assigned local installer based on deck size, complexity, ground conditions and access; coordinated by us so you get one clear figure |
| Waste removal | Arranged through your installer where specified in the project scope |
As a guide, a straightforward ground-level residential deck on a prepared substrate costs meaningfully less than a multi-level elevated deck with complex angles, steps and balustrades. That spread is why a site visit or detailed brief is needed to give a number with confidence.
What we can say is that composite decking - when considered over its 25+ year service life - is typically more cost-effective than timber once ongoing maintenance and likely re-boarding are factored in. For exact board and installation pricing, request a free quote.
