Most composite decking results near you are suppliers selling boards. Buying the board is the easy part; the deck is won or lost in the frame underneath it, and that is where a local fitter earns the difference across South Wales.
Composite boards are heavier and less forgiving than timber, so the frame has to be right. Joist centres set to the board manufacturer specification, a level and properly supported structure, and genuine airflow underneath to stop moisture sitting are what keep a composite deck flat and quiet underfoot. Get the centres wrong and the boards flex between joists, which no amount of expensive board will fix.
The pay-off is that once it is down, it is done. No sanding, no annual stain, no sealing, no replacing soft boards. The colour runs through the board so it holds its look, and it shrugs off the South Wales damp in a way timber simply does not. A wash a couple of times a year is the entire maintenance schedule.
Ben fits composite decking and can match composite fencing to it for one consistent look across the garden.

If you would rather never sand or stain a deck again, yes. It costs more to fit than timber up front but needs almost no maintenance, holds its colour, resists rot and typically lasts 25 years or more. Most people are ahead on cost within about ten years once the stain and repairs stop.
As a rough UK guide composite decking runs around £90 to £135 per square metre supplied and fitted, against roughly £40 to £100 for timber. Those are typical 2025 trade-guide averages, not a quote — the deck size, whether it is raised, the levels and access all move it. Ben prices yours free on a site visit.
Yes — matching or complementary composite fencing and decking is a common request and gives the garden one clean, consistent look. Ben can quote both together on the same site visit so the colours and finish are chosen as a pair.
