Balcony Timber Decking – Clean, Restore, Recoat

Balcony Timber Decking – Clean, Restore, Sand & Recoat I’m looking for an experienced professional to restore and refinish my existing timber balcony decking. The decking is currently a dark brown colour and has become a little faded and uneven. I’d like to refresh it and achieve a more even, contemporary finish in a warm honey-brown / natural teak tone. Work required: * Thoroughly clean and prepare the existing timber decking. * Where possible, inspect underneath the decking boards and lift a small number of boards if they are designed to be removable, to clean out accumulated dirt, leaves and debris underneath. * Carefully reinstate any boards removed, ensuring they are securely refitted without damage. * Assess the existing coating and determine whether sanding or stripping is required. * Sand back the existing finish where necessary to achieve an even result. * Apply a high-quality exterior decking oil or stain suitable for outdoor timber. * Aim for a warm honey-brown / natural teak tone. It doesn’t need to be dramatically different, just a richer, fresher and more consistent finish. * Apply the appropriate number of coats for a durable, professional finish. * Ensure the timber is protected against weather exposure. Requirements: * Retain the existing timber boards rather than replace the decking. * Prefer a natural-looking finish with the timber grain visible, rather than opaque decking paint. * Have previous experience with timber decking restoration. * Recommend the most suitable preparation method and products for the existing timber. Please provide a quote including labour and materials. I’d also appreciate photos of previous decking restoration work.
