Timber and decking

Deck and timber finishing

Coastal timber greys, cracks and lifts fast when it is finished with the wrong product. We prep it back properly and finish it in a coating matched to the timber and the exposure.

Scope

What this job includes.

  • Strip or sand back failed finishes to clean timber
  • Repair, re-fix and treat where the timber needs it
  • Apply a rated timber finish matched to the species and exposure
  • Advise on the simple upkeep that keeps it looking good
Our system: Timber finishes are matched to the timber and how much sun and salt it takes. We will tell you honestly how often it will need a maintenance coat.

The 7-line quote
  1. 1 Substrate and exposure check. Before any price, we test each surface for salt, chalking and moisture and note its exposure, full sun, sea facing or sheltered. The coast has already done things to your walls, and the quote has to account for them.
  2. 2 Prep back to sound substrate. Wash down, scrape, sand and spot-prime every surface back to sound. This is the line most cheap quotes skip, and it is where a coastal repaint is won or lost.
  3. 3 Salt and UV rated system, named. Primer and topcoats matched to each surface, by name and by number of coats. You see exactly which system goes where before we start.
  4. 4 Two topcoats, wet-film checked. Two full topcoats applied to the rated thickness and wet-film checked as we go, then a walk-around with you before we call it finished.
If a quote doesn’t show these lines, you can’t compare it, and you don’t know what’s been cut.

Questions, answered

Deck and timber finishing: common questions.

Why does my deck finish keep failing?
Usually the wrong product for the exposure, or it went on over timber that was not prepped back properly. On the coast, both matter more than the brand on the tin.
