When homeowners in Leeds and across Yorkshire search for truly professional composite decking, Heritage Decking is the name that keeps coming up. From compact town gardens in North Leeds to luxury terraces in Harrogate, the company has built hundreds of bespoke decks across the region, always with the same focus: craftsmanship, durability and detail.
At the heart of the business is Barry Metcalfe – deck design in his DNA, and a perfectionist when it comes to structure and finish. Barry leads a close-knit, highly trained team who treat every project as if it were their own garden.
This cornerstone guide explains what Heritage Decking do, where they work, and why they’re fast becoming the go-to Yorkshire composite decking specialists.
Composite and wood decking – design-led, not just fitted
Heritage Decking doesn’t simply “lay boards”. The process starts with a consultation and site visit, where Barry and his team look at levels, access, drainage and how you want to live outside.
They offer:
Composite decking – low-maintenance, long-life decks for modern outdoor spaces.
Wood decking – classic timber decks tailored to the property and budget.
Integrated extras such as lighting, planters, balustrades and clever storage to turn a simple deck into a complete outdoor room.
Because Barry’s background is rooted in structure and precision, the subframe and foundations get just as much attention as the visible surface. That’s why decks from Heritage feel solid underfoot and keep performing year after year.
Deckorators & premium materials – why Heritage choose the best
Heritage Decking are not tied to one brand, but they are known for adopting high-performance products before they hit the mainstream. A great example is their work with Deckorators mineral-based composite decking.
Heritage completed the first UK premium installation of Deckorators Excursions decking in Kirk Ella, East Yorkshire, showcasing the stability, low movement and cool-underfoot performance of mineral-based boards.
Benefits of the premium composite systems they use include:
Exceptional resistance to warping and movement
Strong, lightweight boards that are easier to handle on complex sites
Very low maintenance – ideal for busy households
Excellent slip resistance and long-term colour stability
Whether it’s Deckorators or another carefully selected brand, Heritage only specifies decking that they trust structurally and aesthetically.
Landscaping & paving – full garden transformations
Although composite decking is their speciality, Heritage Decking also design and build:
Paving and patios
Garden paths and terraces
Complementary landscaping to tie decks into lawns, planting and boundaries
This means clients in Leeds, Harrogate, York, Wakefield and across Yorkshire can enjoy a single, coordinated outdoor design, instead of juggling multiple contractors.
