Deck Sanding in Adelaide
Smooth, even and ready for oil
Deck sanding — back to bare timber
Deck sanding removes old coatings, weathering and surface damage to bring timber back to clean, smooth timber ready for a new finish. It can be completed as a standalone service, but is also one of the most important parts of a full deck restoration.
We use professional sanding equipment to remove old oils, stains and coatings, flatten uneven or weathered boards and properly prepare the timber. Edges, corners and other areas the main sander can’t reach are sanded separately to achieve a consistent finish across the deck.
Sometimes sanding alone isn’t enough. If boards are rotten, badly split or otherwise damaged, we can repair or replace those areas before sanding and restoring the deck.

Deck Sanding FAQs
Do you sand right back to bare timber?
Usually yes for a full sand-back. But some maintenance coatings only require a lighter sand or preparation rather than removing everything.
How much does deck sanding cost in Adelaide?
Professional deck sanding and refinishing typically costs around $50–$100/m², depending on the condition of the timber, existing coating, access and the amount of detailed sanding required.
There can be a significant difference between simply running a floor sander over a deck and properly sanding it ready for a high-quality finish. We tend to spend more time on preparation and sanding because scratches, uneven coating removal and poorly prepared edges become very obvious once the deck is stained or oiled.
Can every deck be sanded?
Most timber decks can, but sanding won’t fix rotten, severely split or structurally failed boards. Where necessary, you can repair or replace those boards first.
