How much does composite decking cost in Abergavenny and South Wales?
Composite decking costs in Abergavenny and South Wales typically range from £100 to £250 per m² installed, depending on the size of the project, access, ground preparation and materials used. Premium products like Trex come with longer warranties and lower maintenance, making them a popular long-term investment.
Is composite decking better than timber decking?
Composite decking is generally better for homeowners looking for low maintenance and long-term durability. Unlike timber, it won’t rot, warp or require regular staining, making it ideal for busy households and modern gardens.
How long does composite decking last?
High-quality composite decking, such as Trex, can last 25 to 50 years depending on the product range and installation. Proper installation and a strong subframe are key to achieving the full lifespan.
Is composite decking slippery when wet?
Composite decking is designed to provide grip underfoot, even in wet conditions. While no surface is completely slip-proof, high-quality boards like Trex are far more slip resistant than traditional timber decking.

Composite decking requires very little maintenance compared to timber. There is no need for staining or sealing, and most of the time it can be kept clean with simple washing.
