We present a quenched lattice calculation of heavy-light meson decay constants, using non-relativistic (NRQCD) heavy quarks in the mass region of the $b$ quark and heavier, and clover-improved light quarks. The NRQCD Hamiltonian and the heavy-light current include the corrections at first order in the expansion in the inverse heavy quark mass. We study the dependence of the decay constants on the heavy meson mass $M$, for light quarks with the tree level ($c_{SW}$ = 1), as well as the tadpole improved clover coefficient. We compare decay constants from NRQCD with results from clover ($c_{SW}=1$) heavy quarks. Having calculated the current renormalisation constant $Z_A$ in one-loop perturbation theory, we demonstrate how the heavy mass dependence of the pseudoscalar decay constants changes after renormalisation. For the first time, we quote a result for $f_B$ from NRQCD including the full one-loop matching factors at $O(\alpha/M)$.
