Deck Restoration Kew | Careful, High-Quality Timber Restoration

If your deck in Kew looks uneven, patchy, or no longer matches the standard of your home, the problem is rarely the timber itself.
More often, it’s the result of layered coatings, rushed preparation, or work carried out without regard for surrounding finishes. We specialise in restoring existing timber decks in Kew and Melbourne’s inner east. With 17+ years experience and 183 five-star Google reviews, our focus is simple: restore decks carefully, cleanly, and correctly, so they sit comfortably within high-quality homes and gardens.

Kew Is a Blue-Chip Area — and the Work Needs to Match

Kew is widely regarded as a blue-chip suburb, and the homes we work on here reflect that.

Many properties are either:

  • Older, beautifully maintained homes with established gardens and original detailing, or
  • Architect-designed residences, where decks are integrated into modern outdoor living areas

In both cases, decks in Kew are rarely isolated. They are often surrounded by sensitive, high-value surfaces, such as:

  • feature paving and stonework
  • stainless steel kicker plates and alfresco detailing
  • rendered walls, cladding, and joinery
  • mature gardens and carefully planted landscapes

Because of this, deck restoration in Kew is not just about sanding and oiling timber.
It’s about control, protection, and experience.

Common Issues We See on Kew Decks

Many Kew homeowners contact us because something feels off with their deck, even if it isn’t falling apart.

Typical issues include:

  • uneven or blotchy colour across the deck
  • visible patch repairs that catch the eye
  • lifting screws or fixings breaking clean lines
  • older coatings reacting poorly to newer oils
  • a deck that looks different depending on light or weather

This is particularly common when:

  • the home has changed hands, or
  • several trades have worked on the deck over the years

Quick touch-ups can hide these issues briefly, but they rarely fix them properly.

👉 A proper restoration starts by stripping things back and getting control again.


Our Approach to Deck Restoration in Kew

Every deck we restore in Kew is assessed carefully before any work begins.
We look not only at the timber, but also at what surrounds it.

Our restoration process typically includes:

1. Fixing and Surface Preparation
All screws and nails are checked and reset so the deck can be sanded evenly and safely.

2. Board Levelling and Correction
Minor cupping or uneven boards are corrected to improve appearance and drainage.

3. Full Sand-Back
Old coatings and weathered timber are removed so the deck is properly reset, not layered over.

4. Deep Cleaning and Degreasing
This removes built-up oils and contaminants that cause uneven finishes.

5. Careful Mechanical Scrubbing
Treatments are worked into the timber grain to lift residue without damaging surrounding areas.

6. Finishing Sand
Leaves the surface smooth, consistent, and comfortable underfoot.

7. Controlled Rinse
The deck is cleaned thoroughly, with care taken around gardens and adjacent surfaces.

8. Timber Brightening
Restores natural colour and evens tone across the entire deck.

9. Precision Oil Application
Two coats of a premium water-based oil are applied under the right conditions for even colour and long-term performance.

Respect for Surrounding Surfaces and Gardens

In Kew, restoration work must be discreet and controlled.

We take particular care to:

  • protect feature paving and stone
  • avoid damage to stainless steel detailing
  • manage sanding dust responsibly
  • control wash-down and runoff
  • work carefully around established gardens

This level of care is standard for us, and essential in homes where one mistake can be costly.

Ongoing Care — How Kew Clients Keep Decks Looking Right

Many Kew clients prefer not to revisit major restoration work every few years.

Once a deck has been restored properly, many transition into our Autopilot Maintenance Plan, where maintenance is carried out at the right intervals without reminders or guesswork.

This helps:

  • maintain colour consistency
  • prevent patchiness from returning
  • keep fixings neat and safe
  • ensure the deck always presents well

Instead of reacting when the deck fades or deteriorates, care is handled quietly and predictably.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“We restored the deck once and moved onto maintenance. It now just stays looking right.”

👉 If long-term presentation matters, this approach makes sense.
