Australian summers are tough on timber. Between harsh UV rays, humidity, afternoon storms, and endless outdoor entertaining, your deck and outdoor furniture can quickly start to show signs of wear. Fading, cracking, water damage, and surface deterioration often appear after the festive season, and if left untreated, these problems only get worse.
That’s why January is the perfect time to protect and restore your timber surfaces. The Timber Doctor offers professional deck repair and restoration, and outdoor timber furniture services designed to strengthen, revive and extend the life of your exterior timber.
Why Summer Takes a Toll on Outdoor Timber
Outdoor timber is constantly exposed to the elements, and summer brings Australia’s harshest conditions. During this time, your timber may experience:
- Intense UV fading
- Heat-related cracking
- Moisture absorption from summer storms
- Mould and mildew growth
- Stains from food, drinks and BBQ spills
- Wear from extra foot traffic and gatherings
These issues don’t just affect appearance, they weaken timber fibres and reduce structural integrity over time. If your deck or outdoor setting is looking tired after the holidays, now is the time to restore it.
Deck Restoration After a Busy Summer
Your deck is a major focal point during the festive season, BBQs, parties, kids, pets and long days outdoors all contribute to wear and tear. A professional deck restoration can bring it back to life.
Our deck services include:
- Deep cleaning and mould treatment
- Repairing cracks, splinters and surface damage
- Sanding to remove dullness and unevenness
- Recoating with high-quality protective finishes
- Structural repairs for weakened or damaged areas
A refreshed deck not only looks fantastic, but it’s also safer, stronger and better protected against the remainder of the summer.
Restore and Protect Your Outdoor Timber Furniture
Outdoor tables, benches and seating often show the earliest signs of summer damage. Sun bleaching, water stains and surface deterioration are all common after the holiday period.
Our technicians provide comprehensive outdoor furniture restoration, including:
- Cleaning and stain removal
- Repairing cracks, chips and worn edges
- Colour and finish restoration
- Protective coatings to prevent future weather damage
With professional care, your outdoor furniture can look refreshed and ready for many more seasons of entertaining.
Why Professional Treatment Is Essential
DIY sanding, oils and sealers often lead to uneven finishes, poor protection and long-term damage if applied incorrectly. Timber varies greatly in density, grain and coating requirements, meaning it needs expert assessment and tailored treatment.
The Timber Doctor uses industry-grade products and professional application methods to ensure:
- Proper penetration of protective coatings
- Long-lasting weather and UV resistance
- Safe removal of mould, stains and contaminants
- A smooth, flawless, professionally finished surface
