Our Step-by-Step Wood Preservation Process

We follow a careful and proven process to ensure your wood surfaces are treated with the highest level of care and professionalism. From inspection to final finish, each step is designed to protect and enhance your timber while ensuring long-lasting results.
Initial Inspection & Consultation
We begin with a detailed inspection of the wood areas that need attention. Our team assesses the condition, identifies damage or decay, and discusses the best preservation options with you.
Surface Preparation
Before any treatment, we clean the wood thoroughly to remove dirt, old coatings, mould, or mildew. In some cases, we also sand the surface to allow better absorption of preservatives.
Repair & Restoration
If the timber is damaged, we carry out necessary repairs, such as filling cracks, replacing rotten sections, or reinforcing weakened areas, before applying any treatments.
Application of Wood Preservatives
We apply premium-grade preservatives or protective coatings that penetrate deep into the wood. These products protect against insects, rot, moisture, and weather damage.
Finishing Touches & Final Check
Once the treatment is complete, we inspect the surface again to ensure quality. We can also apply a stain or clear finish to enhance the appearance and seal the wood.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is wood preservation, and why is it important?
Wood preservation is the process of treating timber with protective solutions to prevent damage from moisture, insects, fungi, and rot. This is especially important for outdoor wood, or any timber exposed to weather or moisture. Without proper preservation, wood can weaken, decay, or attract termites, which can lead to expensive repairs or replacements. Preserving your wood not only extends its lifespan but also keeps it looking great and performing well for years. It’s an essential step in maintaining decks, fences, pergolas, and other wooden surfaces.
How often should wood preservation be done?
It depends on the type of wood, its exposure to the elements, and the quality of the previous treatment. For outdoor timber like decks or fences, we recommend professional wood preservation every 2–3 years. For indoor wood or wood in shaded areas, treatment may last longer. Regular inspections can also help determine when reapplication is needed. If you notice signs of fading, cracking, mould, or pest damage, it’s a good time to get your timber assessed for re-treatment.
What types of wood can be preserved with your services?
Our wood preservation services are suitable for a wide range of hardwood and softwood types, including treated pine, cedar, merbau, oak, and more. Whether its timber used for decks, cladding, pergolas, window frames, or fences, we apply treatments that suit the specific wood type and its environment. Our team assesses each timber surface before choosing the best preservation solution to ensure strong, lasting protection that enhances durability and appearance.
Do you offer wood preservation for both homes and businesses?
Yes, we provide wood preservation services for both residential and commercial properties. Whether you’re a homeowner wanting to maintain your deck or a business with timber fixtures or structures, we have tailored solutions to meet your needs. Our experienced team works efficiently with minimal disruption, ensuring your wood stays protected, professional-looking, and compliant with safety standards if needed.
What’s included in your wood preservation service?
Our full wood preservation service includes surface inspection, cleaning, sanding (if required), application of a professional-grade wood preservative, and final sealing or finish. We also offer mould removal, termite prevention, and colour-matched finishes upon request. Every job is handled with care to ensure long-lasting results that resist weather, pests, and wear. We use premium, eco-friendly products that provide strong protection without compromising the look of your timber.
Will the treatment change the look or colour of my timber?
Some wood preservatives may slightly enhance the grain or deepen the colour of the timber, depending on the product used. We always discuss the appearance you want before starting. We can apply clear preservative treatments that won’t change the colour, or tinted options if you want to enhance or refresh your timber’s look. Our goal is to protect your wood while keeping the finish attractive and natural.
Is the wood preservative safe for pets and children?
Yes, the products we use are safe for both pets and children once they are dry. We use high-quality, low-odour, and environmentally friendly treatments that meet Australian safety standards. During application, we recommend keeping children and pets away from the treated area until it’s completely dry, usually within 24 hours. Our team will give you clear guidance on when it’s safe to use the area again.
How long does the wood preservation process take?
Most residential wood preservation jobs can be completed in 1 to 2 days, depending on the size of the area and the condition of the timber. This includes preparation, treatment application, and drying time. Larger or more complex projects might take a bit longer. Our team will provide you with a clear timeline before starting the work and will aim to complete the job with minimal disruption.
Can you preserve old or weathered timber?
Yes, we can preserve and restore old or weathered timber in many cases. Our process includes sanding, mould removal, and treating the timber with preservatives that strengthen and protect it. While extremely rotted or damaged wood might need replacing, most aged timber can be saved and improved with professional care. We’ll assess the condition during the inspection and provide honest advice on what’s possible.
Do you offer affordable wood-preservation options?
Absolutely. We believe that preserving your timber should be cost-effective. Our services are competitively priced, and we offer different preservation solutions to suit your budget without compromising on quality. You’ll receive a clear, upfront quote with no hidden fees. Our affordable wood-preservation services are designed to save you money in the long run by avoiding expensive timber replacements.
How do I prepare my timber for wood preservation?
Before we arrive, we ask that you clear any furniture, plants, or other items from the area that will be treated. If possible, lightly clean the surface to remove any loose dirt. Our team will handle the full preparation process, including deeper cleaning and sanding if needed, before applying the preservative. We’ll take care of everything to ensure the timber is properly treated and protected.
How do I get started with your wood preservation service?
Getting started is simple! Just give us a call or fill out our online contact form. We’ll arrange a convenient time to inspect your timber and provide a free quote.
