General Timber Care & Restoration

Protect and rejuvenate all your timber surfaces against Wanaka’s UV, winter, and summer extremes.

Why this Service Matters

Timber in Wanaka faces a tough combination of high UV exposure, cold winters, and hot, dry summers. Untreated or poorly maintained timber gradually loses its natural water repellency, discolours, and develops surface checking, cracks, or splinters. Organic growth like moss and mould can accumulate, especially on horizontal or sheltered surfaces, accelerating wear. Regular care is essential to maintain both appearance and durability across all timber surfaces, from fencing and pergolas to spa surrounds and outdoor furniture.

What the Service Includes

Ongoing Maintenance Packages:
Regular softwashing and application of high-quality penetrating oils protect timber against UV, moisture cycles, and organic growth. Colortones can be applied to preserve or enhance colour while acting as a sunblock.

Full Timber Reset:
For older, weathered, or heavily soiled timber, we provide a deep clean and restoration. This prepares the surface for long-term protection and ensures it is ready for ongoing maintenance, helping timber perform and look its best for years to come.

Versatile Application:
Suitable for fencing, pergolas, outdoor furniture, spa surrounds, and any other timber exposed to Wanaka’s climate.

Maintenance Tips

Annual Inspection & Softwash: Regular cleaning removes debris, moss, and mould to protect timber fibres
Oiling Cycle: Most timber benefits from oiling every 2–3 years, depending on exposure. Quality penetrating oils penetrate the wood, help repel water, nourish fibres, and provide UV protection. Colortones help lock in colour and enhance sun protection
Preventative Care: Timely maintenance prevents surface checking, cracks, and splitting
Scheduled Maintenance Program: A tailored plan ensures regular inspections, cleaning, and oiling at the right intervals for your property
