Deck Sanding
surface preparation of sound accessible ordinary timber deck boards
Common situations
Discuss nearby doors, plants and occupied spaces before sanding. Appropriate containment and collection depend on the site and accepted material. This ordinary preparation service does not include hazardous dust remediation or work on a coating whose safety has not been established.
The abrasive sequence depends on the accepted timber, existing finish and intended next product. A single aggressive pass is not a universal solution. The quote should identify the preparation goal rather than promise removal of every deep mark at any cost to the boards.
Railings, posts, corners and fixed furniture affect tool access. Include these in the dimensions and photographs. Hand-detail work around obstructions can change the scope, while inaccessible areas should be identified before assuming the entire deck can receive identical preparation.
Service overview
Identify the previous coating where possible and show peeling, glossy or stained areas. Different finishes affect the preparation method. Unknown or suspect hazardous coatings are excluded; a sanding enquiry does not authorise stripping every old surface regardless of its composition.
Sanding removes timber as well as surface material. Heavily worn, thin or damaged boards may not be suitable. The task concerns sound boards, and surface preparation must not be used to conceal rot or substitute for a separate deck repair assessment.
Show screws or nails sitting above the surface. Suitable ordinary fixing preparation may be needed before sanding can proceed. Damaged or unsupported boards need review, and simply driving fixings deeper should not be assumed to resolve deterioration beneath the deck surface.
Prepare and sand accepted sound boards with appropriate abrasive stages and dust control, within the agreed accessible area. Scope limits: Sound ordinary accessible boards only. No structural restoration, rot concealment, hazardous coating removal, asbestos or specialist dust remediation.

Caldermeade property context
An occupied Caldermeade property may need preparation before deck sanding can begin. Show the whole deck, existing finish, board edges and fixings, with dimensions and any available coating history.

Fix Nik can review practical maintenance requests across this part of Greater Melbourne, with the job scope and property conditions guiding timing, materials and the appropriate service.
Planning the work
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
Protect prepared timber and arrange the compatible next finish. Sanding alone is not a completed weather-protection treatment. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
Review board condition, remaining thickness and coating suitability before agreeing a sanding method and the next finish. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
Prepare and sand accepted sound boards with appropriate abrasive stages and dust control, within the agreed accessible area. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
FAQ
Protect prepared timber and arrange the compatible next finish. Sanding alone is not a completed weather-protection treatment. Any limitations, unfinished stages or separate work should be explained at handover. Keep relevant product information and tell Fix Nik if the original issue returns rather than making repeated improvised adjustments.
Show the whole deck, existing finish, board edges and fixings, with dimensions and any available coating history. Include a wide view as well as close details, keeping product labels readable. Do not dismantle a difficult or unsafe item just to take photographs; explain the access limitation instead.
Prepare and sand accepted sound boards with appropriate abrasive stages and dust control, within the agreed accessible area. The quote identifies the actual item, components and extent of work. An enquiry for one task does not automatically include every related item in the room or property.
Review board condition, remaining thickness and coating suitability before agreeing a sanding method and the next finish. Unexpected damage, incompatible materials or access limitations should be discussed before extending the work. A photo enquiry is not authorisation for additional tasks or a promise to resolve every concealed problem.
If the coating history or material condition raises a hazardous-material concern, ordinary sanding should not proceed on an assumption. Share existing product records where available. Specialist testing or removal is outside the scope and must not be replaced by a disclaimer after disturbance.
Show the whole deck, existing finish, board edges and fixings, with dimensions and any available coating history. Use the quote form with the property address and a short list of requirements. Identify the quantities and any deadline so Fix Nik can review the scope and clarify the next practical step.
