Deck and timber staining Melbourne
Grey, dry or flaking timber looks tired and wears out faster. We clean, sand and stain, oil or paint decks, pergolas, screens and other outdoor timber across Melbourne's northern suburbs.
What's included
Outdoor timber needs a coating that suits how it's used and how much sun and rain it gets. A deck you walk on needs something different from a pergola or a front screen.
Decks are cleaned, sanded where needed and coated in a deck oil or stain that protects the timber and keeps the natural grain if you want it.
Posts, beams and rafters are prepared and stained or painted, with careful work around roofing and fixings.
Slat screens, gates and timber fences can be stained for a natural look or painted for a solid colour.
Grey or dried-out timber is cleaned and prepared to bring back its colour before a new coating goes on.
How it works
You will know what is happening at each stage, from the first call to the final walk-through.
Call 0452 219 991We check the timber type, condition and existing coating, talk through stain, oil or paint, and send a quote.
Dirt, mould and loose coating are cleaned off so the new finish can soak in or bond properly.
Rough or flaking areas are sanded, and you'll know about any soft or damaged boards.
The chosen stain, oil or paint is applied in suitable weather and left to dry before the area is used again.
Pricing guidance
Timber work is priced mainly on the area of decking or the number of posts, beams and panels, the condition of the timber, how much sanding is needed, and whether you choose stain, oil or paint.
Removing an old failing coating takes longer than recoating sound timber. After a free site visit you get a written, itemised quote and advice on how often the finish will need maintaining.

Helpful answers
Oils and stains soak into the timber and show the grain, and they're easy to maintain. Paint gives a solid colour but needs more preparation when it's recoated. We'll recommend what suits your deck.
It depends on the product, how much sun the deck gets and how heavily it's used. Exposed decks generally need more frequent maintenance coats.
Often, yes. Cleaning and sanding can bring back much of the timber's colour before a new stain or oil goes on.
Once the coating has dried. We'll tell you how long to keep off it, which depends on the product and the weather.
