20 Years Experience
NL Elite Builders has built composite decking for homeowners throughout Devon for over 20 years. Our team handles the complete installation. You work with the same builders from your first site visit through to the day we hand over your finished deck. We use premium composite boards designed for the UK climate, and carry full insurance on every project.
You've spent years building equity in your home and your garden should reflect that investment. A quality composite deck creates valuable outdoor living space, perfect for morning coffee, family barbecues, or quiet evenings. But unlike traditional timber decking that demands constant maintenance, composite materials give you the look of wood without the endless cycle of sanding, staining, and replacing rotten boards.
Composite decking offers a better solution. You get the natural look and comfortable feel of timber, but without any of the ongoing hassle. No annual treatments. No splinters. No rotting. Just an occasional wash to keep it looking pristine. It's the outdoor space you've always wanted, without sacrificing your weekends to maintenance.
We work with premium composite brands that are specifically designed for the UK climate. Our in-house team manages everything from initial design through to final completion. You receive fixed-price quotes with all costs clearly explained, realistic timelines you can rely on. No subcontractors, no surprises, just quality craftsmanship backed by our reputation.

Straightforward process with no surprises
We come to your property, measure up, and discuss what you want from your deck. You'll get advice on which composite boards work best for your situation, plus a written quote showing exactly what's included and what it costs.
Most decking doesn't need planning permission, but we check the rules for your property and handle any paperwork with your local council if required. No guesswork, just clear answers.
Our team arrives on the agreed date, prepares the ground properly, builds the subframe, fits the composite boards, and cleans up afterwards. You get a deck that's built right and will last for decades.

Common questions about composite decking, including pricing and planning permission
Your composite decking investment depends on several key factors:
We provide detailed, fixed-price quotes with complete breakdowns showing exactly where every pound goes. Book a free consultation to receive your personalised quote within 48 hours. No obligation, no pressure.
Most composite decking projects complete in 3-7 days. Smaller decks under 15m² typically take 3-4 days, whilst larger decks with multiple levels or complex designs require 5-7 days. We provide detailed project schedules and work efficiently to deliver on time.
Most composite decking doesn't require planning permission if it's under 30cm high and within permitted development limits. Raised decks or properties in conservation areas may need approval from your local council. We advise on requirements and handle any necessary applications.
Quality composite decking adds 5-10% to property values with excellent return on investment
We only use premium composite boards designed for UK weather conditions. These materials resist Devon's rain, won't warp or splinter, and maintain their appearance for decades with minimal care. Our experienced team ensures proper installation with correct spacing for drainage, solid subframe construction, and attention to details that prevent future problems. Every deck is built to Building Regulations standards where required.
Our comprehensive service includes design consultation, planning advice, ground preparation, subframe construction, composite board installation, balustrades and safety features, and final finishing. We manage everything in-house for quality control and your peace of mind.
