How often does a Bondi deck need oiling?

Annually, ideally. Beachfront decks every 6–9 months — sun and salt double the wear.

Can you change the colour of my deck?

Yes — pigmented stains can shift greying timber back to a fresh tone, or go darker. Sample patches first.

Randwick context

What deck oiling & staining looks like in Randwick

Randwick Victorian terrace rear-yard decks are typically small (under 6m²), often in spotted gum, fitted into tight courtyards. Standard annual oil maintenance. The '60s flats around the racecourse occasionally have shared-courtyard timber decking; strata-coordinated oil application. Family homes south of Alison have larger backyard decks with standard maintenance approach. Rental work is agency-coordinated, photo-reported, direct-invoiced.

Our process — same standard, every booking

1
Prep is everything
Old oil and grey timber sanded back; otherwise new oil sits on top and beads off.
2
Two coats minimum
First coat soaks in; second coat builds the wear layer.
3
Time for cure
We schedule around weather — oil applied wet doesn't cure properly.
