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.

Vaucluse context

What deck oiling & staining looks like in Vaucluse

Estate decks in Vaucluse benefit from house staff or estate management coordinating maintenance schedules; we work to those rather than calling in cold. Premium timbers like teak need specialty teak oil rather than generic decking oil — different penetration and UV protection profile. Hand-brush application is preferred over roller for even penetration on these premium timbers; multiple thin coats outperform one thick coat. Vinyl floor protection and dust extraction are standard at the threshold from deck back into the home.

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.
