Deck Oiling
compatible penetrating-oil maintenance on sound ordinary timber decking
Service overview
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.
Dirt and surface contamination can affect the finish. Agree suitable ordinary cleaning as part of the preparation rather than assuming oil covers it. Structural deterioration, hazardous materials and repairs to unsound boards remain separate from a maintenance oiling task.
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.
Apply the compatible oil according to its coverage and application instructions to the agreed prepared accessible deck surface. Scope limits: Compatible penetrating-finish maintenance on sound timber only. No structural repairs, hazardous stripping, waterproofing systems or guaranteed restoration of damaged boards.
Keilor East property context
An occupied Keilor East property may need preparation before deck oiling can begin. Send deck dimensions, current surface photos and the previous oil or finish label, including shaded and exposed sections. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. A useful Keilor East enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.
Planning the work
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
Apply the compatible oil according to its coverage and application instructions to the agreed prepared accessible deck surface. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
Keep the deck out of use for the product’s required period and follow its maintenance instructions; weather and drying affect scheduling. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
Check that the sound timber and previous treatment can accept the proposed penetrating oil after suitable cleaning and drying. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
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.
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.
The timber needs to accept the proposed product in the way its instructions require. Glossy residue, uneven wear or previous treatment can change absorption. Photos support planning, but an on-site suitability check may still be needed before the application method is confirmed.

FAQ

The appointment and preparation are agreed around the actual work; an occupied room should not be assumed to be clear or ready.
Apply the compatible oil according to its coverage and application instructions to the agreed prepared accessible deck surface. List each additional item with its own photos and dimensions. Compatible tasks can be considered together, but grouping an enquiry does not expand the service into electrical, plumbing, structural or other specialist work.
