Approved Millboard Decking Installers London & Essex
Steel Frame Specialists | 10+ Years | 100+ Projects
At Decking Gurus Ltd, we design and build premium Millboard decking on fully welded galvanised steel frames. Not timber frames that rot, warp and move. Steel that lasts.
We are based in Romford, and install Millboard decking across London and the Home Counties - Essex, Kent, Hertfordshire, Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire. Larger commercial and fire-rated projects are undertaken UK-wide.
Every installation is engineered for long-term performance. The subframe is specified to suit your site, ground conditions and board choice. For most Millboard projects we fabricate a bespoke welded steel frame to give you total stability, zero bounce and complete resistance to moisture and ground movement.
Millboard is our go-to board for a reason. Each board is moulded from real seasoned oak, so you get the grain of natural timber without the maintenance. No rotting, no splinters, no oiling, and a proven anti-slip surface even when wet. As approved Millboard installers, we fit the complete range - Enhanced Grain, Weathered Oak and Limed Oak - with matching fascias, bullnose edges and concealed fixings, all covered by the Millboard warranty. We also supply and install specialist A1 and A2 fire-rated decking for balconies, roof terraces and commercial buildings where fire regulations apply.
All work is carried out by our own employed team - not subcontractors. Engineered steel subframes, premium materials and a finish designed to last decades, not seasons.
Bespoke Outdoor Structures - More Than Just Decking
We don't just lay boards. We build complete outdoor living spaces that work as one, in steel, timber, composite and Millboard.
Bespoke Pergolas
Built in welded steel, aluminium or timber to suit your style and budget. Powder coated to match your deck - RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey, 9005 Jet Black or 9003 White as standard, or natural timber finish. Choose retractable fabric roof or louvred roof. All 24V LED lighting is chased inside the frame - no visible cables or trunking.
Outdoor Kitchens & BBQ Areas
Built around how you cook and entertain, in any material palette. Steel and aluminium frames with premium worktops, timber cladding, composite doors or Millboard fronts. We design around your appliances, storage and lighting for a weatherproof kitchen that matches your deck.
Built-In Seating & Benches
Made to measure in hardwood, composite, Millboard or powder-coated steel. From simple perimeter benches to L-shaped seating with hidden storage and integrated lighting, sized to your space and finished to complement your garden.
Custom Planters
Standalone or integrated into your deck and seating. Built in steel, timber, composite or Millboard in any size and shape, designed to tie your planting scheme into the overall design.
Garden Rooms & Garden Offices
Insulated garden rooms in timber frame, SIPs or steel frame construction. Specified for your plot and purpose - home office, gym, studio or entertainment space - with your choice of insulation, glazing, cladding and interior finish for year-round use.
Garden Saunas
Bespoke outdoor saunas in cedar, thermo-wood or clad to match your deck. Choice of layouts, glass fronts and electric or wood-fired heaters. Designed as a premium part of your garden, not an off-the-shelf kit.
Glass Balustrades & Handrails
21.5mm laminated, heat-soak tested glass with timber, stainless steel or aluminium handrails. Fully UK building regulations compliant, ideal for raised decks and London roof terraces where safety and views matter.
Every feature is built in the same material palette as your deck, so your garden reads as one piece of bespoke furniture, not a mix-and-match kit. Steel, timber, composite or Millboard - we build in all of them.
Why Choose Decking Gurus
Steel as Standard, Timber When It Suits
Our standard is a fully welded galvanised steel frame - no rot, no warp, no bounce, built to outlast the boards. Where budget, access or site conditions make it more suitable, we also build on premium treated timber frames to the same engineering standard.
Approved Millboard Installers
Fully trained and approved by Millboard. We install the complete range - Enhanced Grain, Weathered Oak and Limed Oak - with colour-matched fascias, trims and hidden fixings. Premium boards that look like real timber, with none of the maintenance.

“Martin and his team did a superb job on our deck - making, literally from scratch, and installing beautifully turned out railings. It was not the simple pre made design but completely bespoke and catered to the exact shape product, which even gave us an option to paint it in a more interesting colour of our choice. The guys were super friendly, skilled and hard working, oh and their choice of interesting music radio was excellent too. Highly recommend and will use again in other projects.”

“We came across this company while searching for local professionals specialised in Millboard cladding installation. Now that the work is done, we could not be happier with the results. Martin is very experienced, reliable and meticulous, and the attention to details that characterises his way of working is clearly visible in the final results. Martin is easy to deal with, the turnaround was also quite fast. We had gotten other quotes before landing on Bespoke Garden Rooms & Decking and found them very good value for money. We definitively recommend this company.”
