Why choose deck sanding and oiling?

Looking to breathe new life into your deck without the expense and hassle of a full restoration? A light sand and a fresh coat of decking oil are the perfect solution.

Extends lifespan

Regular sanding and oiling help preserve your deck by protecting it from the harsh Brisbane elements. This deck maintenance service prevents damage from weather, UV rays, and wear over time, ensuring your deck remains in top condition for years to come.

Refreshed look

Over time, exposure to the sun and weather can worsen your deck’s appearance. Even some light sanding and some basic oiling can bring out the natural beauty of your timber, giving your deck a fresh, revitalised look that brings out the best of your outdoor space.

Cost-effective

Deck sanding and oiling come at a more reasonable cost than a full deck restoration, offering significant improvements in appearance and protection without the expense and longer time commitment of a complete overhaul.

Enhanced protection

Each layer of high-quality oil protects against moisture, dirt, UV damage, and daily wear. This extra protective layer helps keep your deck looking beautiful while making it more resistant to the elements, extending its lifespan even further.

Do's & Don'ts for a freshly coated deck

Help, my deck is still tacky!

If your deck is still tacky after 24 hours, allow it more time to dry, as this will usually remedy the problem.

If after 7 days it is still tacky, run a cold hose over the deck, let it dry and repeat this process until it tacks off. This process will help speed up the “taking off” process

Remember, at different times of the year, decks and verandahs can take longer to tack off completely.

Let the professionals take care of your timber deck maintenance

New Deck Care

Depending upon the timber type, many species need to be “bled” of Tannins before they can be sanded and finished, e.g. Merbau/Kwila.

The bleeding process can be sped up with the use of “Sikkens Cetol BL Tannin & Oil Remover”, followed by “Cetol BL Deck & Wood Cleaner” This process can take up to six months if allowed to bleed the traditional way. These products speed it up, so it can be done within weeks.

New decks do not have to be sanded, but they do need to be treated with the Deck & Wood Cleaner prior to coating.

3 Coats of finish are usually applied depending on the chosen product.

The Tannin and Oil remover and Wood Cleaner processes can be performed by the homeowner to save money prior to us carrying out the sanding and/or coating stages.

How to clean your deck

A simple hosing down is sometimes all that is needed and a light sweep with a soft bristle brush.

Mop dirty decks using a mild detergent.

Oxalic Acid wash will help remove mould spots.

If a BBQ has left fat deposits, try using white vinegar on some paper towel and wipe up fats/spills.

Safety requirements

New regulations for external steps and ramps need to have a non-slip coating applied. We also highly recommend this for around swimming pools.

We recommend Sikkens Deck Slip Resistant Finish.
