Services
Deck Restoration
Our deck restoration process combines technical expertise with eco-conscious methods. We begin with a comprehensive Decking Audit to assess current conditions and determine whether sanding, cleaning, or liquid stripping is most appropriate. For severely weathered decks, we employ a two-stage sanding process using 40/80 grit paper to optimize oil absorption. When possible, we utilize environmentally friendly liquid strippers that preserve timber integrity while removing old coatings. Each restoration includes protective measures for surrounding vegetation and property, with post-service maintenance guidance to maximize longevity.
Deck Sanding
Professional deck sanding services follow strict technical specifications to ensure lasting results. We use industrial-grade belt sanders with appropriate 40/80 grit paper combinations to remove old coatings while maintaining board thickness. Our process includes dust containment systems and post-sanding vacuuming to minimize mess. We avoid over-sanding that weakens timber boards, typically preserving 3-5mm per restoration cycle. Each service includes protective covering for adjacent surfaces and a final brightener wash to prepare wood for oiling, ensuring optimal penetration and finish durability.
Deck Cleaning
Our deck cleaning services focus on preserving existing finishes while removing environmental contaminants. Using calibrated pressure washing equipment and pH-neutral cleaners, we remove mold, algae, and dirt without damaging timber surfaces. The process includes protective covering for adjacent vegetation and structures, with post-cleaning brightener application to restore natural wood tones. We provide maintenance schedules for periodic cleaning to prevent buildup that accelerates coating degradation, helping maintain appearance and extend time between full restorations.
Deck Repairs
Targeted deck repair services address localized damage while maintaining overall aesthetic consistency. We replace rotten or split boards with matching timber, implementing a staged approach where new boards are allowed to weather before final oiling. This ensures color harmony with existing decking. All repairs include protective covering for adjacent surfaces and post-service cleaning guidance to maintain uniform appearance. We document replacement locations for future maintenance tracking and provide oiling schedules to maximize repair longevity.
Deck Oiling
Our deck oiling services use premium penetrating oils applied through a two-coat process for maximum protection. We employ specialized deck brushes for even application, following the 'brush on, brush off' technique to prevent surface film formation. The process includes surface preparation checks to ensure optimal absorption, with color matching guidance through on-site sample testing. We provide maintenance reminders for reapplication based on exposure conditions, and educate clients on post-oiling care requirements including drying time considerations.
