Many outdoor hardwood surfaces such as decks and fences are constantly exposed to all types of weather conditions. While they are durable, dirt, grime, mould, dead wood fibres, and other contaminants will accumulate over time which will affect the look of your deck and fences over time.
Deck and Fence Cleaning Process
We utilize the latest professional cleaning products to clean up your decks and fences. All of our deck and fence cleaning services will be carried out by our designated Deck and Fence Pro specialists. They are trained and experienced to ensure that your decks are professionally and efficiently cleaned without damaging the timber and restoring your timber decks to their former glory!
Once our cleaning experts remove all of the dirt and unwanted organic material and the cleaning products are fully washed off the deck, it is ready for the final step of cleaning and restoration by restaining the timber deck with the proper wood treatment.
Deck Restaining
Our deck stains and paint products are made to the highest specifications. Unlike many commercially available DIY wood stain products, ours are made from a linseed oil base for a superior finish and better protection. They’re made specially for us, manufactured here in New Zealand and designed for Aotearoa’s unique climate and weather conditions. Our oil and water-based stains use the latest technology that is able to be maintained, unlike some well-marketed DIY products available that are almost impossible to remove when they degrade.

FAQ
Should I use oil or water-based deck stains?
Water based deck stain is effectively very thin acrylic paint, so thin you can see though it. The problem with it is that it clogs up the pores of the timber making it extremely difficult to maintain because the old residue is virtually impossible to remove. We use good quality oil based wood stain that nourishes the timber and can be recoated time and time again.
Why does my kwila deck have splinters?
Hardwoods such as kwila come from tropical climates that have a lot of moisture in the air. New Zealand’s harsh climate and intense sun quickly dries out the timber causing it to splinter. There is very little that can be done to remedy this, and kwila is becoming less popular as a decking timber.
Do you use a waterblaster to pre-clean the timber?
We use a specialist eco-friendly solution to loosen dirt, contaminants, and dead timber cells followed by a controlled pressure wash to sluice this residue away. Our team are very skilled at this process. Using a waterblaster alone can damage the surface of the timber because the water jet needs to be very close to the timber to have any effect.
How do I maintain my restored deck, fence, or furniture?
A wood stain generally requires a top up coat every 12-18 months to replenish the nourishing oils and UV blockers. We can arrange an on-going maintenance schedule with you following the restoration process that will include a light clean followed by a recoat of the wood stain. In between scheduled maintenance, a mild detergent is all that is needed to remove any bird droppings or spills, and a spray with a moss and lichen inhibitor during winter can also help. It is important to not use harsh deck cleaning agents that may remove the oils contained in the stain. Painted surfaces generally last longer than stained ones but are more susceptible to abrasion.
