Composite decking that suits a town like Malmesbury
Ellis Decks LTD designs and installs composite decking for homes across Malmesbury and the villages around it. It's a town built on a hill wrapped by the Avon, with a working abbey older than most countries, and a garden here needs to hold its own against that backdrop rather than look like it was bolted on from a catalogue.
Composite's reputation for looking plasticky is out of date. See what Trex composite decking actually is if you want the detail, but the short version is that modern ranges have proper timber grain and colour depth that sits comfortably against Cotswold stone, not against it.
Ellis has over 12 years installing decking, and holds TrexPro Gold status, a level only a handful of installers in the country reach. Every Malmesbury job gets the same standard: a real design, a proper subframe, and a finish that still looks right in ten years, not just on handover day.
Why Malmesbury Homeowners Choose Us
TrexPro Gold status isn't handed out, it's assessed, and very few installers hold it.

Not sure which Trex range suits a Malmesbury garden?
A hilltop, honey-stone town like Malmesbury calls for a colour that complements the setting rather than fighting it. Some Trex ranges lean warm and traditional, others are built for a cleaner, more contemporary look.
We'll go through it properly at your design visit, but our full breakdown of Enhance, Transcend and Signature is worth a read first if you want a head start.

What Our Customers Have Told Us
"Excellent communication from start to finish. We were away for half of the fitting but Ellis took photos every day of his progress. Trex is an excellent product, we purchased the 30% cooler underfoot in a lighter colour and we are SO glad we made that decision, especially with the hotter weather the UK experiences each year. (Much better for the dogs paws!) "
With a renovation that has taken us quite some time, we have worked with a number of masters of their craft - Ellis stands out amongst them. Not only is he an expert in the product, but his ‘bedside manner’ is exceptional. We are thrilled and delighted by the end result, reached with his careful advice on the appropriate treatment of our design objectives.
I recently had a composite decking fitted on my balcony by Ellis from Ellis Decks Ltd, and I couldn't be happier with the result. Ellis was excellent from start to finish – professional, reliable, and clearly takes great pride in his work.
The workmanship is absolutely spot on, with great attention to detail and a high-quality finish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Decking in Malmesbury
Do you install composite decking in Malmesbury?
Yes. Ellis Decks installs composite decking across Malmesbury and the surrounding Wiltshire and Cotswolds villages. Get in touch for a free quote and 3D design.
Do I need permission for decking if my Malmesbury home is in a conservation area?
Much of Malmesbury's historic core sits within a conservation area, which can affect what's allowed for raised or highly visible structures. We check this during your design visit before anything's finalised.
Can composite decking work on a small or awkward hilltop garden in Malmesbury?
Yes. Malmesbury's hilltop position means a lot of gardens are compact, walled or slope down toward the Avon, and a properly designed subframe handles that without wasting the space you've got.
How much does composite decking cost in Malmesbury?
Most projects run between £100 and £250 per m² installed, depending on size, ground conditions and the range chosen. You'll get an itemised quote before anything starts, see our full cost guide for more detail.
Will composite decking look right against a period Malmesbury property?
Yes, when the right range is chosen. Modern Trex colours have genuine timber grain that sits comfortably against Cotswold stone rather than looking synthetic.
How many years will a Malmesbury composite deck last?
Trex boards carry a 25-year fade and stain warranty, and a properly installed deck will comfortably run beyond that with basic care.
Does composite decking get slippery in wet weather?
No, quality composite decking has a textured, slip-resistant surface built into the board itself.
How does composite decking compare to timber for a historic property?
Composite skips the annual sanding, staining and rot-checking timber needs, while still giving a period property the natural look it calls for.
How far ahead should I book a Malmesbury installation?
As early as you can, particularly for spring and summer, when our installation calendar fills up fastest.
