Premium Composite Decking Installation in Bearsted
This project in 20 seconds
This striking new deck in Bearsted was designed and built to transform an outdoor space into a sleek, modern extension of the home. Using premium composite boards from Millboard, the result is a clean, low-maintenance terrace that blends beautifully with the property while offering exceptional durability and year-round usability.
The challenge
The clients wanted something that would look great and perform well over time. They were looking for a smart, contemporary finish that complemented their home’s modern architecture but without the ongoing maintenance and issues often associated with natural timber.
The solution
Our team removed the existing structure and installed a new, fully treated timber subframe for strength and stability. The composite boards were then laid with precision to achieve clean, consistent lines and a smooth, seamless surface.
We recommended Millboard composite decking for its exceptional quality, realistic timber appearance, and longevity. The boards are engineered from sustainable materials, providing an eco-friendly alternative to wood without compromising on looks or performance.
To finish, we installed a stainless-steel balustrade system with horizontal wire detailing, adding safety and style while maintaining clear views across the garden. The subtle tone of the decking complements the home’s brickwork perfectly, creating a modern yet timeless outdoor living space ideal for entertaining or relaxing.
Why composite decking?
Composite decking offers numerous advantages over traditional timber:
– Low maintenance – no staining, sealing or painting required.
– Highly durable – resistant to rot, warping and fading.
– Slip-resistant – ideal for British weather conditions.
– Eco-friendly – made from sustainable and recycled materials.
– Long-lasting – retains its good looks for years to come.
The result
The finished project has completely transformed the garden, providing a stylish and practical extension of the indoor living space. The homeowners are thrilled with how the new deck looks and feels – a perfect blend of beauty, durability, and functionality.
We’re just as pleased with the result. It’s a great example of how premium materials and skilled craftsmanship can come together to create a truly stunning outdoor feature.

Composite decking offers several significant advantages over traditional timber: it requires virtually no maintenance (no staining, sealing, or painting), is highly durable and resistant to rot, warping, and fading, provides better slip resistance for British weather conditions, is made from sustainable and recycled materials making it eco-friendly, and retains its appearance and structural integrity for many years without degradation.
-
The installation timeline for composite decking depends on the size and complexity of your project. A typical residential deck like this one in Bearsted usually takes 2-3 days to complete, including removal of existing structures, preparation of the subframe, and installation of the composite boards and any additional features like balustrades. Weather conditions and site accessibility can affect timing, but we always provide a clear schedule before starting work.
-
High-quality composite decking, like the Millboard products we use, can last 25+ years with proper installation and minimal maintenance. Millboard offers a comprehensive 25-year residential warranty covering manufacturing defects, structural integrity, and fade resistance. Our installation also comes with our own workmanship guarantee, ensuring both the materials and craftsmanship meet the highest standards for your peace of mind.

Millboard is considered the premium choice for composite decking because it uses unique Lastane® technology that creates a highly realistic wood-grain surface texture and appearance. Unlike many composite boards that look obviously artificial, Millboard products are virtually indistinguishable from natural timber. They offer superior stain resistance, enhanced slip resistance, and exceptional durability. Millboard is also made in the UK to rigorous quality standards, ensuring consistent performance and supporting local manufacturing.

Yes, composite decking is an excellent choice for families. It’s splinter-free, unlike traditional timber, making it much safer for barefoot children and pets. The surface provides good grip even when wet, reducing slip hazards. Millboard composite decking is also non-toxic and doesn’t require chemical treatments that could be harmful to children or pets. The boards won’t harbour bacteria or insects, and they’re easy to clean with just soap and water, maintaining a hygienic outdoor space for your family to enjoy safely.
