The Deck Repair Process

The process begins with a thorough inspection to identify areas needing attention. Repairs are then carried out using suitable materials, matching the existing deck’s style wherever possible. Work may also include sanding and resealing to protect the surface against weathering.

Timber Deck Repairs FAQs

What are common signs that my timber or composite deck needs repairs?

Look for faded or discoloured boards, loose or squeaky boards, rusted or protruding fasteners, and signs of rot or mould. These are common issues that appear after Melbourne’s changing weather seasons.

Can you repair rotten or damaged deck boards without replacing the entire deck?

Yes. Often only the damaged planks or joists need replacing. This approach is faster and more cost effective than a full rebuild, provided the underlying structure is still sound.

How long does a typical deck repair in Melbourne take?

Most small to medium repairs such as board replacements or fixing loose fasteners can be completed within a day or two. Larger jobs like sanding, staining, or joist replacement may take several days depending on complexity and weather.

Do you fix safety issues such as loose railings or wobbly steps during deck repairs?

es. Structural safety is a key part of our service. We address hazards such as loose railings, unstable steps, or unsecured fasteners to ensure your deck is safe for family and visitors.

Can you restore the colour and finish of my deck during repairs?

Yes. Many repair projects include sanding, staining, sealing, or oiling to restore the natural beauty of timber and protect it from Melbourne’s harsh outdoor conditions.

Is repairing my deck more cost effective than replacing it?

In most cases, yes. Repairing and restoring only the problem areas extends the life of your existing deck and costs significantly less than a full replacement.

Do you provide maintenance services after the repairs are completed?

Yes. We offer ongoing maintenance options such as cleaning, sealing, and annual inspections. These services help prevent future damage and maximise the lifespan of your repaired deck.
