Good to knowBefore you choose

Plain advice.
No upsell.

  • Oiling needs a few dry days, so we book it around the forecast.
  • Composite decks don’t need oil, just a clean.
  • If the frame underneath is rotten, oiling the top won’t fix it. We’ll check first.
FAQDeck maintenance

Questions people ask.
Plain answers.

When is the best time to oil a deck in Ireland?

Late spring to early autumn, on a run of dry days so the timber is dry before and after oiling.

Can you fix a slippery deck?

Usually. Most slipperiness is algae; a deep clean and the right oil help a lot. Shaded decks need cleaning more often.

Do you maintain decks you didn’t build?

Yes. Send a few photos and we’ll tell you whether it’s worth restoring.
