Service overview
a gate does not swing, latch or sit as intended. Apply the compatible oil according to its coverage and application instructions to the agreed prepared accessible deck surface.
Signs: an accessible board, rail, gate fitting or timber surface shows wear, movement or a damaged finish or a gate does not swing, latch or sit as intended. Causes: weather exposure and ordinary surface deterioration or an aged coating, stain or finish that needs preparation before maintenance.
Application needs to follow the product’s coverage and handling instructions. More oil does not automatically mean better protection, and excess can affect the surface. Discuss the agreed area and product quantity so the work is planned around the actual deck rather than a guessed number of cans.
Rain, temperature and exposure can limit a suitable application window. Include shaded sections and nearby irrigation in the enquiry. Work may need rescheduling to follow the product requirements; no fixed completion promise should override conditions on the day.
Keep the deck out of use for the product’s required period and follow its maintenance instructions; weather and drying affect scheduling. Limits: Compatible penetrating-finish maintenance on sound timber only. No structural repairs, hazardous stripping, waterproofing systems or guaranteed restoration of damaged boards.
Common situations
Provide the old product label if available. A penetrating oil maintenance treatment is different from applying a film-forming deck paint. An existing incompatible coating may need separate preparation, so a new oil should not be selected from colour preference alone.
The surface must meet the oil maker’s drying requirements after cleaning or rain. A visually dry top surface alone may not settle the question. Leave scheduling flexible enough for the accepted product and actual conditions instead of treating the booking date as a drying guarantee.
Furniture, foot traffic and coverings should return only when the selected product allows. Agree access to doors and other routes while the deck is unavailable. A maintenance plan should follow the actual finish and exposure rather than an invented universal recoating interval.
