Professional decking oil application for Devon homes - deck cleaned and oiled to nourish the wood, enhance natural appearance, and protect against weather.
### Feed Your Deck
Timber decking needs oil. **Untreated wood dries out, cracks, and fails faster.** Regular oiling keeps your deck looking good and lasting longer.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Apply oil in cool conditions - early morning or evening. Hot sun causes oil to dry too fast and not penetrate properly.

Frequently Asked Questions about Decking oil application in Sidmouth
Oil or stain - what's the difference?
Oil nourishes wood and enhances natural colour without changing it. Stain adds pigment and colour. Oil for natural look, stain for colour change.
How often should I oil my deck?
Once a year for most decks, twice if heavily used or exposed. The water bead test - if water soaks in instead of beading, time to oil.
Do you clean the deck first?
Yes - cleaning included. Oil won't penetrate dirty wood properly. We clean, let dry, then oil.
How long before I can use the deck?
Usually 24 hours for foot traffic, 48 for furniture. Depends on weather and oil type. We'll advise.
