Decks & verandahs,
brought back to life.
Brisbane's climate is hard on outdoor timber. Sun, rain, humidity - all conspire to grey the wood, lift the finish, and leave boards rough underfoot. Regular sanding and re-coating reverses the damage, restores the natural beauty, and keeps your deck safe and sturdy.
We work across backyard patios, sprawling poolside terraces, classic Queenslander verandahs and commercial outdoor areas. From hardy Spotted Gum and Merbau to treated pine - every timber, every scale.
Drops fall.
Timber drinks them in.
Watch what happens when premium decking oil meets greyed timber. It penetrates the wood, restoring colour and forming a water-shedding barrier - without sealing the timber's natural breathability.
Drop on greyed timber
Decking oil meets the prepared, sanded surface - no peeling, no flaking.
Soaks into the grain
Unlike sealants, oil penetrates the wood - letting timber breathe in the heat.
Colour & protection restored
Warm tones return, water beads off, UV damage slowed for the next 12–18 months.
Five outdoor
timber specialties.
A complete deck and verandah practice - sanding, coating, oiling and ongoing maintenance, tailored to Brisbane's subtropical environment.
Timber Deck Sanding
The first crucial step. Industrial-grade sanders with dust collection remove worn finishes, greyed timber and rough patches. Countersunk nails, board repairs, even surface - your deck is prepped for refinishing. From small patios to sprawling poolside terraces, every scale and timber type (Spotted Gum, Merbau, treated pine) handled with the right technique.
Verandah Sanding
Queenslander verandahs and modern builds alike - boards, railings, balustrades. We work methodically in corners and along walls so every inch of timber is smooth.
Deck Coating & Finishing
Premium decking oils, tinted stains, or durable clear sealants. UV-resistant, water-shedding, formulated for Australian conditions.
Deck Maintenance & Care
Annual or scheduled visits - gentle cleaning, inspection for emerging issues, mould treatment, board repairs before they spread.
Deck Oil Re-coating
Every 12–18 months: clean, light buff, fresh oil. Quick, cost-effective, no full re-sand. Usually done in a single day.
One re-oil
every 12–18 months.
In Brisbane's climate, an annual oil re-coat is the simplest, most cost-effective thing you can do for your deck. The right window depends on sun exposure, foot traffic and rainfall - but the rule of thumb is: refresh before the timber starts to grey.
-
Full-sun decks Direct UV ages a finish faster - closer to 12 months.
-
High-traffic areas Pool decks, entertaining areas, commercial seating - annual.
-
Sheltered verandahs Less exposure means a longer interval - closer to 18 months.
-
Spring & autumn ideal Mild temps, lower humidity - coatings dry and cure properly.
Five reasons
to stay on schedule.
Periodic sanding, coating and maintenance pays off - for the look, the feel underfoot, the lifespan of the timber, and your wallet.
-
i.
Revived appearance & curb appeal
Sanding strips away grey, weathered wood. A fresh oil restores warm tones and brings the grain back.
→ -
ii.
Smooth, safe surface
No more splinters, rough patches or trip hazards. Protruding nails secured, cracks filled, mould prevented.
→ -
iii.
Better finish penetration
Sanded wood absorbs oil uniformly. The result is a richer, longer-lasting finish that bonds properly to the timber.
→ -
iv.
Extended deck lifespan
Removing damaged top-layer wood and sealing it protects against rot, deep cracks, and warping. The clock resets on your timber.
→ -
v.
Cost savings over time
Re-oiling regularly is far cheaper than replacing rotted boards. Catch issues early during maintenance visits - avoid large repair bills.

Seven unhurried steps,
from first call to last coat.
Each stage explained, agreed and completed in order - from the first conversation to the long-term care of your finished floors.
Talk & Plan
We listen to how you use the space and the aesthetic you want. We’ll confirm finish type, colour/tint, slip requirements, and your timeline. We explain our dust-control methods and provide a clear window for when each area will be ready for use.
Inspect & Measure
We measure every square metre and assess the timber’s condition. Our team looks for wear patterns, sanding history, moisture risks, and structural details such as squeaks or gaps to ensure the best possible foundation for your new finish.
Quote & Schedule
You’ll receive a comprehensive quote detailing the prep, sanding sequence, and coating specifications. Once approved, we lock in your dates and provide a clear guide on cure times—so you know exactly when you can walk on your floors or move furniture back.
Site Preparation & Protection
We treat your home with respect. This step involves protecting adjacent areas, completing minor timber repairs (like re-setting nails), and setting up our advanced dust extraction systems. A thorough vacuuming is performed before any sanding begins to ensure a pristine environment.
Precision Sanding
Our technicians sand in stages, moving from coarse to fine grits (40 to 100-grit) to level the floor and remove old coatings. We use specialised equipment for edges and hard-to-reach areas, ensuring a perfectly flat, uniform surface ready to accept the new finish.
Sustainable Coating & Finishing
We apply your chosen stain or tint followed by multiple coats of our premium, low-VOC, water-based polyurethane. We perform inter-coat buffing to ensure a smooth, durable finish. Our coatings are safe for your family and pets and dry quickly, so you can return to your space sooner.
After-Care & Maintenance
To keep your floors looking beautiful for years to come, we provide a tailored maintenance guide. This includes specific cleaning routines, advice on protective felt pads for furniture, and guidance on when to schedule a professional re-coat to maintain the timber’s integrity.
Reviving an
outdoor deck
in Brisbane.
Tony, a homeowner in Clayfield, had a large timber deck and interior floor that had seen better days. The deck's surface was peeling and grey, and the whole area looked tired.
We sanded back the old finishes, repaired a few loose boards, and applied a fresh, rich decking oil to the exterior timber. For the interior floors, a full sand and high-quality water-based polish.
The team completely transformed the look and feel of the home. Tired old floors and decks - completely rejuvenated. Money well spent.

Common
questions.
The questions we hear most from homeowners and property managers. Have a different one?
-
How do I know if my deck needs sanding or re-coating?
Look for faded or discoloured timber (often grey from UV exposure), peeling or flaking deck coatings, or patches where the finish has worn off entirely. A rough texture, splinters or warped boards underfoot are also indicators. If rainwater no longer beads on the surface but soaks in, the protective layer is gone. Protruding nails or screws are another sign - timber expands and contracts, and they pop up over time.
-
How often should I sand or oil my deck?
In Brisbane's climate, we recommend re-oiling once every 12–18 months. A full sand and re-finishing isn't needed as often - typically every 4–6 years if you keep up with annual maintenance. High-traffic decks or those in full sun may need attention sooner. We can set up a maintenance plan and alert you when it's time, so you don't have to keep track.
-
Can I sand and refinish my deck myself?
You can - but it's challenging and time-consuming. Even sanding requires the right machines, the right grits in the right order, and skill to avoid gouging the wood. You'd also need to rent or buy proper sanders, edgers, and safety gear. For anything more than a small touch-up, we recommend a professional - your deck is a valuable asset, and our work protects that value with a five-year warranty.
-
What's the best time of year to sand and oil my deck?
Spring or autumn - drier, milder months. Warm temperatures and lower humidity let the coatings dry and cure properly. Summer is workable, but we plan around afternoon storms. Winter is dry but cooler, so drying takes longer. We monitor the weather and book the work when conditions are favourable, and we always avoid heavy-rain periods.
-
How long does the project take?
An average backyard deck (25–40 m²) in decent condition typically takes 1–2 days for sanding and the initial coat. With drying time between coats, the total span is usually 2–3 days from start to finish. Larger decks or those needing repairs might take 3–5 days, sometimes in stages. We give you a precise time estimate when we quote.
-
How much does it cost to sand and oil a timber deck?
Professional deck sanding in Brisbane typically ranges from $27 to $68 per square metre (sand only, or sand and oil), depending on size, condition, and finish chosen. A medium deck might come to a couple of thousand dollars for a full restoration. Try the cost estimator above for a quick range - and we'll always give you a free, fixed-price quote on inspection.
-
Do you repair damaged boards or structural issues?
Yes - we handle minor repairs as part of the restoration. Loose or protruding nails get re-secured. Slightly warped boards can be sanded down or refastened. Severely damaged boards can be replaced. For structural issues beyond the surface (rotten joists, unstable railings), we'll alert you and can recommend a trusted carpenter. We never just sand over an issue that needs fixing.
