What you get

Why hiring a TrexPro Gold installer matters.

Composite decking is only as good as the person who installs it. TrexPro Gold status means Trex itself has backed the person building yours.

  • Built to Trex's own rules

    Every deck follows Trex's installation requirements, from joist spacing to fixings, so it performs the way Trex designed it to.

  • Work reviewed by Trex

    Trex representatives have looked at Ellis's decks. You're not taking the installer's word for it.

  • Knows every Trex range

    Enhance, Transcend, Signature: Ellis can tell you which range and colour suits your garden and budget, and bring the boards to see.

  • Protects your warranty

    Trex warranties of 25 to 50 years are for decks installed properly, and a TrexPro builds to Trex's own requirements.

  • First to new colours and training

    TrexPro installers get Trex training and hear about new boards and colours early.

  • Design help from day one

    Ellis plans your deck using what he knows about how Trex boards, borders and steps go together.

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. The decking has completely transformed the space and looks fantastic. I would highly recommend Ellis Decks Ltd to anyone looking for quality decking work. Thanks again, Ellis!

Ellis transformed our garden from a tired overgrown area into a fantastic outdoor living space that the family absolutely love. At the heart of the garden is an amazing decked area that was designed and built using high quality materials including the stunning Trex decking that comes with a peace of mind long warranty ranging from 25 to 50 years. Throughout the project Ellis’s communication, craftsmanship and professionalism were first class. Highly recommended and 5 Star rating.

We are absolutely delighted with our new decking! From start to finish, Ellis was a pleasure to work with and was happy to tweak the plans as the project progressed to make sure everything was exactly as we wanted. We've never met anyone quite as passionate about decking, which made us smile, but we also have nothing but respect for his craftsmanship and skill. Both Ellis and Liam were hardworking, easy-going, and maintained excellent communication throughout the entire process. We also really appreciated the extra help with the building of our pergola! Highly recommend.

We would like to thank Ellis for the advice, guidance & transformation of our dated & unsafe patio. Along with recommendations of Trex composite decking. He understood our brief and with his workforce executed it to the letter. His attention to detail was appreciated from start to finish including our choice of inlay of interconnected squares and all this was achieved within the agreed time & budget. Would highly recommend Ellis Decks, for the professional job which has been completed. We are looking forward to being able to enjoy our new decking in the near future. A big THANK YOU from S & D

Ellis was very professional from start to finish. He came up with very good ideas for the design. Extremely pleased with the finished deck and railing system.
David HathawayGoogle review
★★★★★
I needed a new fence and a timber deck renewed at my property. I looked around a lot, found Ellis Decks, and through his photos I knew it was what I wanted. I had some samples of composite decking, but Ellis educated me about the differences between brands, and that Trex doesn't fade and has a proper guarantee - so although more expensive, it avoids the problems in the future. Ellis was punctual, friendly and went out of his way with his little worker Liam to make the dream a reality. Couldn't ask for a better outcome! Thank you Ellis Decks!!

What is a TrexPro Gold installer?

TrexPro is Trex's own programme for the installers it trusts with its boards. Platinum is the highest of its three levels. It means Trex has reviewed the installer's work and they build to Trex's installation requirements.

What’s the difference between TrexPro Gold and Platinum?

Both are TrexPro installers. Platinum is the level above Gold. Ellis is a Gold installer and has been approved to move up to Platinum from January 2027.

Does using a TrexPro installer affect my Trex warranty?

Trex's 25 to 50 year warranties cover boards installed properly. Using a TrexPro means your deck is built to Trex's own requirements.

Do TrexPro Gold installers offer extra warranty cover?

Your deck gets the Trex board warranty, and Ellis puts everything he covers in writing in your quote.

How do I check an installer is a genuine TrexPro?

Look them up on Trex UK's "find a builder", ask to see the badge for their level, and ask to see decks they've built. Ellis is happy to show you all three.

Does a TrexPro Gold installer cost more?

Not because of the badge. The price depends on your deck: size, height, the Trex range and extras like steps, railings and lighting. Ellis gives you a ballpark from a few photos before visiting.

Do you only install Trex?

Yes. Ellis only installs Trex composite decking, so every deck gets the same boards, the same standards and the Trex warranty.
