Worcester’s Deck Painting Specialists
Timber Deck Treatment
Standard softwood decking needs penetrating timber preservative treatment to resist moisture and prevent decay. A deck oil penetrates the timber grain and protects from within.
After pre-treatment and full drying, your decorator applies a penetrating preservative oil or stain. Two coats on first application give better penetration.
Raised and Elevated Decks
Properties in Battenhall and on Great Malvern hillside slopes sometimes have raised or multi-level deck structures. Anti-slip additive is available for elevated surfaces.
Hardwood Decks
Hardwood decking weathers to silver-grey without treatment. Oil-based penetrating products formulated for dense hardwood grain are appropriate.
Garden Room Adjoining Decks
Where a garden room has an adjoining timber deck, your decorator schedules both treatments together. See our shed painting page for outbuilding treatment. For fence and deck together, see our fence painting page.
The Deck Painting Process
1. Deck Assessment
Your decorator checks for algae, soft boards, existing treatment type, and structural condition before quoting.
2. Mould Treatment and Drying
All contamination is treated and allowed to die and dry fully. This stage cannot be shortened.
3. Preparation
Heavily weathered or flaking sections are sanded to give a sound surface for the new treatment.
4. First Treatment Coat
Penetrating deck oil or preservative stain is applied and worked into the timber grain.
5. Second Coat
On first treatments, a second coat is applied after the first is absorbed.
