Leicester’s Deck Painting Specialists
Timber Deck Staining
Deck stains penetrate the timber and feed into the wood grain rather than forming a surface film. This means they do not peel and are significantly easier to maintain over subsequent seasons.
Untreated or greyed timber decks absorb stain well. We apply deck stain by brush for the first application on weathered timber to ensure product penetration into the wood grain.
Anti-Slip Treatments
Timber decks that are partially or fully shaded develop algae growth that makes the surface dangerously slippery when wet. An additional anti-slip coating or additive mixed into the stain reduces the risk.
We advise on anti-slip treatment at the site visit for any deck in a position where biological growth and moisture are likely to be ongoing issues.
Solid Colour Deck Paints and Restoration
Solid Colour Deck Paints
Solid deck paints give an opaque, flat colour similar to an exterior floor paint. Previously painted decks with loose or flaking paint require mechanical preparation before any new product is applied.
Pressure washing to remove loose paint and biological growth, followed by sanding back loose sections, is the standard process before a new solid colour coat.
Deck Restoration
Decks left untreated for many years can still be restored rather than replaced where the board structure is sound. The restoration process involves pressure washing, sanding back greyed timber, and applying a protective stain.
Leicester Decorators advise at the site visit on whether a deck is restorable. Where boards are structurally compromised, we flag this before any coating work.
Here’s How It Works
1. Deck Assessment
We check board condition, biological growth, existing treatment, and structural soundness before quoting.
2. Biological Growth Pre-Treatment
Fungicidal wash applied to the full deck area, allowed to dwell, and rinsed off. Deck allowed to dry fully before coating.
3. Mechanical Preparation
Loose paint or heavily weathered surface timber sanded back. Spongy or cracked boards flagged.
4. Stain or Paint Application
One or two coats applied by brush or roller depending on the deck surface and the product.
5. Final Check and Walkthrough
Finished deck inspected and walked through with the client before we leave.
