Professional decking staining for Devon homes - deck cleaned, prepared, and stained for fresh colour and weather protection. Transform tired grey decking.
### Bring Back the Colour
Grey decking looks tired. **Weathered timber needs protection as well as colour.** Quality staining restores appearance and extends deck life.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Stain on a dry day with no rain forecast for 24 hours. Wet stain washes off and fails to penetrate.

Frequently Asked Questions about Decking staining in Dawlish
What's the difference between stain and oil?
Stain adds colour and pigment, providing UV protection. Oil feeds the wood without colour change. Stain is better for colour transformation, oil for natural look.
Do you need to strip old stain?
Depends on condition. Sometimes fresh stain goes over existing. Badly peeling or incompatible products need stripping first.
How long does stain last?
Good quality stain lasts 2-4 years depending on exposure and traffic. Horizontal surfaces wear faster than vertical.
What preparation is needed?
Clean deck essential - we include cleaning in the price. Old stain may need sanding or stripping depending on condition.
