- Timber decking clean, treat, and stain

- Anti-slip finishes and protective coatings
- Seasonal preparation and maintenance
Finchampstead’s larger-plot detached properties often have substantial timber decking exposed to wooded, shaded conditions of rural Berkshire. Persistent damp and leaf debris accelerates algae growth and timber graying, requiring treatment before any stain or oil is applied. Deck painting is part of our full exterior painting service across Wokingham and the surrounding Berkshire villages.

Deck Painting Services
Decking Boards
Decking boards weather rapidly in Berkshire’s damp climate. UV and moisture exposure causes timber to gray and crack. The boards are cleaned, any mould or algae growth treated, and protective stain or oil applied.
Pressure washing removes the gray surface layer and loose material. A specialist mould treatment is applied where needed. Stain or oil is then applied for colour and protection.
Balustrades
Deck balustrades and railings are high-touch surfaces prone to weathering. Balustrades are treated and stained to match or complement the deck boards.
Balustrades take the worst weather exposure on a deck and need durable finish systems. Quality is critical for both safety and durability.
Steps and Handrails
Decking steps and handrails are high-traffic areas. Anti-slip finishes are often recommended for wet weather safety.
Anti-slip stain or specialist anti-slip coating is applied to step treads. Handrails receive durable finish systems appropriate to the timber species.
Anti-Slip Finishes
Anti-slip decking finish is essential where weather and water exposure creates wet surfaces regularly. Anti-slip systems appropriate to the decking type are specified and applied.
Aggregate-embedded anti-slip finishes create texture but can be rough. Some anti-slip stains provide slip resistance with smoother tactile finish.
Deck Maintenance and Sealing
We advise on seasonal maintenance schedules. Decks in shaded positions (like many Finchampstead properties) need more frequent treatment than sun-exposed decks.
Annual maintenance before the wet season helps protect investment in the deck.
Here’s How It Works
1. Deck condition assessment
Your decorator visits and assesses the timber condition, notes any algae, mould, or structural issues, and discuss finish preferences.
2. Pressure cleaning
The deck is pressure-washed to remove algae, moss, loose material, and weathered surface layer. Appropriate pressure settings are used to avoid timber damage.
3. Mould and mildew treatment
Where present, specialist mould treatment is applied. This prevents recurrence under the finish coat.
4. Surface preparation
The deck is allowed to dry fully. Any splintered areas or rough patches are sanded. Balustrades and steps are sanded if needed.
5. Stain or oil application
Protective stain or oil is applied to all surfaces. Two coats are standard on fresh timber. Anti-slip finish is applied to treads if specified. Each coat is allowed to dry fully.

Cost Overview
Deck treatment and staining typically costs between £550 and £900 for a medium deck (25 to 35 square metres), including cleaning, treatment, and two coats of stain.
Cost Overview
Three things drive the price:
What Affects the Price
- Deck size. Larger decks (40+ square metres) cost proportionally more per square metre. Smaller decks (under 15 square metres) may have a minimum charge.
