- ✓Bearer and joist replacement where rot is structural
How we work
Our deck repair process
- 1
Probe for hidden rot
We check structural elements first — boards are often the symptom, not the cause.
- 2
Salt-rated fixings
Stainless or class-4 galvanised — generic deck screws fail in 2–3 years on the coast.
- 3
Match and finish
Replacement boards matched to existing; ready for oiling or staining.
Local context
Beachfront Tamarama and North Bondi decks see direct salt spray. We've replaced board-and-bearer combinations on decks where the original builder used standard galv — class-4 stainless is the only thing that lasts here.
Deck Repair questions, answered
Just a few boards are bad — can you replace those?
Yes. We match the timber and fix in stainless so the patch lasts.How do I know if the structure underneath is still sound?
We probe joists from underneath where accessible. If we can't access, we make the call from movement and visible rot patterns.

Deck Oiling & Staining
An annual oil keeps Bondi decks alive; skipping it is what turns timber grey and splintery. We strip back, sand where needed, and apply two coats of marine-grade decking oil suited to salt-air exposure.
Timber Rot Repair
Salt mist, intermittent rain, and summer humidity turn Bondi timber into a slow-cooked mess. We splice out rotten sections of window sills, fascia boards, eaves, and door frames, and finish with marine-grade primers built for the coast.
Pergola Repair & Maintenance
Pergolas in Bondi cop sun, salt, and intermittent vine weight — we repair sagging beams, replace rotten posts, refasten lifted brackets, and oil or paint to spec.
Fence Repair & Installation
Replacing rotten posts, swapping out failed palings, rehanging gates that won't latch — most Bondi fence problems can be repaired without ripping out the whole run. New fence runs and gates also covered.
