Restore your Melbourne deck

Many timber decks can be improved through a combination of repairs, cleaning, sanding, oiling or resurfacing, but the right approach depends on the deck’s condition. We inspect the boards, structure, fixings, stairs and edges before recommending whether restoration is suitable or a rebuild should be considered.

The cost depends on the deck size, timber condition, access, preparation required, repairs, stairs and finish selected. A light sand and oil is different from structural repairs or resurfacing. We inspect the deck, confirm the scope and provide a written quote before work begins.

Yes, deck sanding and oiling can be included where the existing timber is suitable and the surface has been properly prepared. We consider old coatings, damaged boards, weathering, colour and exposure before discussing the finish and ongoing maintenance expectations.

Repairs may include replacing unsuitable boards, addressing loose fixings, improving edges or repairing parts of the supporting structure where practical. The cause and extent of the damage matter, so we inspect the whole deck rather than treating only the most visible problem.

A rebuild may be more appropriate where there is widespread decay, movement, structural damage or timber that cannot be economically repaired. We assess the condition and explain the available options, including what can reasonably be retained and what should be replaced.
