Broads-edge gardens, riverside terraces, and holiday let upgrades across Wroxham, Hoveton, and Horning. Built to handle the moisture. Built to look exceptional.
The Broads are stunning. They're also persistently damp. The combination of high groundwater, frequent fog, and properties that sit near or on the water creates the worst possible conditions for timber and most paving. Rot, algae, mould, and slippery surfaces are the norm, not the exception.
Composite decking was designed for exactly this environment. Moisture-resistant, slip-resistant, and requiring nothing beyond an occasional clean, it's the only outdoor surface that genuinely suits a waterside property in Norfolk.
Moisture-resistant by design
Trex boards won't absorb water, warp, or develop the algae growth that makes riverside timber so dangerous in winter.

Perfect for holiday lets
Broads holiday lets compete on lifestyle. A high-quality deck, particularly with river or broad views, commands a meaningful premium in nightly rates.
Paving works in some settings. On the Broads, with high moisture, high usage, and properties often left unoccupied through winter, it tends to underperform significantly.
| Composite Decking | Paving / Patio | |
|---|---|---|
| Damp conditions | Moisture-resistant. No swelling, no rot, no algae growth. | Paving absorbs water. Algae establishes rapidly near water. Becomes hazardous by autumn. |
| Maintenance | Occasional rinse. Nothing else required, even after months unoccupied. | Weeds, moss, and re-pointing. Particularly bad when left through a Broads winter. |
| Holiday let appeal | Decking with a water view is a guest favourite. Directly impacts listing photos and nightly rates. | Worn or mossy paving undermines a premium listing price. |
| Lifespan | 25+ year warranty. No replacement boards, no re-laying. | 10–15 years before subsidence or cracking requires work. Waterside ground movement accelerates this. |
| Safety | Slip-resistant even when wet. Critical near water for guests of all ages. | Smooth or algae-covered paving near water is a genuine safety risk. |
Elevated or ground-level decks designed for waterside gardens. We specify boarding direction and subframe to maximise drainage and minimise any standing moisture.
Decking that looks exceptional in listing photos. We've helped Broads holiday let owners increase nightly rates by upgrading the outdoor space that guests actually use and remember.
Replacing tired, slippery, or weed-ridden paving with a composite deck is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to a Broads property.

Extremely. The slip-resistant, textured surface performs well when wet, better than any timber or smooth paving. It's widely used for marina decking and boat pontoons for this reason.
Nothing. No maintenance required during unoccupied periods. Unlike timber, composite won't rot, warp, or develop dangerous algae growth when left through a Norfolk winter.
Yes, this is one of the most common projects we do. We remove the existing surface, assess and prepare the sub-base, then install the composite deck as a complete, clean replacement.
