Deck Staining
Protect and revitalise your decking with professional cleaning and staining
About This Service
Garden decking looks wonderful when new but can quickly become unsightly without regular maintenance. Algae, mould, greening and general weathering all take their toll. Our deck staining service starts with thorough cleaning and preparation, then applies premium decking oil or stain to restore the colour and protect the timber for years to come.
What Deck Staining Involves
- Pressure washing to remove algae, moss and dirt
- Sanding of weathered or rough surfaces
- Application of timber brightener to restore natural colour
- Application of premium decking oil or decking stain
- Treatment of all deck boards, steps and balustrades
- Anti-slip treatment application if required
Why Use a Professional?
Deck staining requires proper preparation to be effective. Many DIY deck staining attempts fail because the deck is not cleaned and sanded properly before the oil or stain is applied. Our team takes the time to prepare correctly, which makes a significant difference to the durability of the final result.
Our Process
Cleaning
We pressure wash the deck thoroughly and apply a deck cleaner to remove algae and greening.
Preparation
We sand the decking surface to open the grain and prepare it to absorb the stain or oil evenly.
Treatment
We apply two generous coats of premium decking oil or stain, working it thoroughly into the timber grain.
Finishing
We treat all steps, balustrades and surrounding timber elements to ensure a complete and cohesive result.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I restain my deck?
Decking oil should be reapplied every one to two years. Decking stain typically lasts two to three years before requiring renewal.
Can you restore a greened decking?
Yes — most greened decking can be restored with pressure washing, cleaning treatment and sanding before restaining.
What is the difference between decking oil and decking stain?
Decking oil penetrates deeply and nourishes the timber, giving a more natural look. Decking stain provides more colour and surface protection but may not penetrate as deeply.
Can you make decking anti-slip?
Yes — we can add anti-slip granules to deck coatings or apply a dedicated anti-slip treatment for safety, particularly on shaded or damp areas.
