Is Your Teak Looking Tired?

Common signs include:

  • Grey or faded timber

  • Dark staining

  • Patchy colour

  • Salt and grime build-up

  • Heavy traffic marks

  • General weathering

Our Process

Assess
We check the age, condition and previous treatment of the teak.

Clean
Dirt, staining and marine contamination are carefully removed.

Brighten
Where appropriate, the teak is brightened to restore a cleaner, warmer appearance.

Inspect
We review the finish and advise if any further restoration is required.

Why Proper Teak Care Matters

Teak can be damaged by harsh chemicals, aggressive scrubbing and excessive pressure.

We use the least aggressive process required to achieve a strong result while helping preserve the timber.
