Deck Painting
compatible film-forming coatings on sound accessible timber deck surfaces
Service overview
The proposed paint must be intended for the accepted timber deck application. Wall or trim paint should not be substituted because the colour matches. Product suitability and instructions guide the work, without implying a certified slip rating or specialist performance guarantee.
Surface failure and deteriorated timber need different responses. A compatible repaint can address an accepted coating task on sound boards. Soft, split or unsupported timber needs separate review, and a fresh film must not be presented as restoration of structural condition.
Cleaning and suitable ordinary preparation depend on the existing coating and selected system. Discuss any required sanding separately. Unknown hazardous coatings are excluded, and a broad promise to remove every old finish would exceed the accepted handyman scope.
Prepare the accepted sound surface and apply the agreed compatible deck-coating system in its required stages. Scope limits: Compatible film coatings on sound accessible timber only. No slip certification, hazardous stripping, structural repairs or waterproofing-system claims.
Common situations
Show both intact and peeling areas. A new coat relies on suitable preparation and sound underlying material. Painting over loose film can leave the same weakness underneath, so the quote needs to distinguish ordinary preparation from extensive stripping or board repair.
The selected system may require more than one stage with drying between applications. Follow the product sequence instead of treating an extra thick coat as equivalent. Access and weather need to support those stages before scheduling is confirmed.
Touch-dry paint may not be ready for furniture or routine foot traffic. Plan an alternative route where the deck serves a doorway. Return-to-use timing follows the product and actual conditions; the job does not include a fixed universal drying promise.

FAQ
Compatible film coatings on sound accessible timber only. No slip certification, hazardous stripping, structural repairs or waterproofing-system claims. Describe any additional requirement separately. Suitability is reviewed before work is accepted, and a specialist requirement must not be treated as a routine extension of the quoted handyman task.
Prepare the accepted sound surface and apply the agreed compatible deck-coating system in its required stages. 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.
Show deck dimensions, existing coating, worn areas and board gaps, with the proposed deck-coating product. 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.
Observe the coating’s cure and return-to-use instructions. This service does not provide slip-resistance certification or repair structural deck defects. 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.
Board edges, stairs and boundaries around posts can need a different application approach from open surfaces. Photograph these details and identify inaccessible sections. The agreed area should be clear so the finished scope does not depend on an assumption that every face is reachable.
Review existing film adhesion and substrate condition before selecting preparation for a compatible walking-surface coating. Share the exact product specification before purchasing. Appearance alone does not establish suitability. Missing materials or unsuitable supplied products can change the plan or require another visit.
Show deck dimensions, existing coating, worn areas and board gaps, with the proposed deck-coating product. Explain which spaces need to remain usable and who can arrange access. The appointment and preparation are agreed around the actual work; an occupied room should not be assumed to be clear or ready.
