Restore your timber this season.
Scottish weather punishes exterior timber. UV degrades lignin, rain cycles moisture in and out causing splitting, and organic growth (algae, lichen, moss) locks moisture against the surface and accelerates rot. Our restoration process — clean, treat, stain, seal — adds 5-10 years to decking and fence life and brings weathered grey timber back to its original tone.
More than just a tidy-up.
A genuine baseline reset for your home, delivered by people who actually know it.
Decking and fence restoration is one of the highest-ROI outdoor services we offer. A weathered grey softwood deck, properly restored, looks better than new — and the protective stain and seal extends service life by 5-10 years compared to untreated timber. Most Scottish decks and fences are pressure-treated softwood (redwood or whitewood) which has a 10-15 year service life when untreated and a 20-25 year service life when properly maintained on a 2-3 year cycle.
The restoration sequence matters. Pressure washing alone leaves the timber surface raised and furry (the lignin-degraded top layer lifted by water), which makes the deck splintery and the stain patchy. So we always follow pressure washing with a light sanding (60-80 grit), a fungicidal treatment, then the chosen finish. Skipping any of these steps is the difference between a finish that lasts 2 years and one that lasts 5+.
We're agnostic on finish choice — we'll apply whatever the client specifies, or recommend based on the timber and exposure. Penetrating oils (Osmo, Treatex, Osmo) sink into the timber and don't peel but need re-coating every 1-2 years. Film-forming stains (Sadolin, Sikkens) last 3-5 years but require full strip-back when they eventually fail. Solid stains (Cuprinol, Ronseal) are opaque and hide weathered timber but mask the grain. We'll always show you test patches before committing to a finish.
Every visit, room by room.
A baseline reset of your home's high-traffic zones — refined after the first three cleans to match your priorities.
Inspection & repair assessment
Every restoration starts with a timber inspection. We identify rot, loose fixings, raised boards, failed sealant, and structural issues. We'll flag any boards, rails or posts that need replacement before restoration, with a separate fixed-price quote for the carpentry work.
Low-pressure clean
Variable-pressure wash at 800-1200 PSI with a fan jet — high enough to lift algae and weathered fibre, low enough to avoid raising the grain. Followed by a fungicidal treatment that kills spore beds and prevents rapid re-colonisation.
Light sanding
60-80 grit orbital sanding to remove the 'furred' surface left by pressure washing. This is the step most companies skip — and the reason their stain finishes fail within 12 months. We always sand, always.
Stain or oil application
Two coats of your chosen finish — penetrating oil, semi-transparent stain, or solid stain — applied by brush and pad, not spray, for proper absorption and even coverage. We mask adjoining surfaces and protect plants.
End-grain sealing
Cut ends and exposed end-grain (posts, board ends, balustrade tops) get an extra coat of wax-based end-grain sealer. End-grain acts like a straw, wicking water into the timber — sealing it is the single biggest defence against rot.
Fence panel treatment
Fence panels, posts and gravel boards pressure-washed, treated with fungicidal wash, and finished with a fence stain or preservative. Includes panel replacement quote if any panels are blown out, rotten or warped.
Add-ons available on any visit: oven cleaning, fridge clean-out, inside cabinets, laundry folding, ironing, pet area sanitisation, window interiors, and more — all bookable from your client portal.

No pushy sales calls. No multi-week onboarding. Just a clear, four-step path to a cleaner home.
Inspection & test patch
Timber inspection, repair assessment, and finish test patches applied to a small area so you can see the actual colour and finish on your timber before committing.
Clean & fungicidal treat
Low-pressure wash (800-1200 PSI), fungicidal treatment applied and left to dwell. Timber left to dry to 18% moisture content or below — usually 24-48 hours depending on weather.
Sand & prepare
60-80 grit orbital sand to remove raised grain, knock off splinters, and open the timber pores for stain absorption. Masking of adjoining walls, glazing and plants.
Stain, seal & finish
Two coats of chosen finish applied by brush and pad, with end-grain sealing on cut ends. Final inspection, touch-ups, and before/after photo log uploaded to your portal.

Six commitments we make to every recurring client — written into your service agreement, not just our marketing.
Surface-safe low-pressure clean
800-1200 PSI fan jet — high enough to lift weathered fibre, low enough to avoid scoring or raising the grain. We never use the high-pressure turbo nozzles that damage timber.
Fungicidal pre-treatment
Algae, lichen and moss spore beds killed before staining. Without this step, organic growth continues under the stain and causes premature failure within 12 months.
Always sanded, never skipped
60-80 grit orbital sand after washing. This is the step most companies skip — and the reason their stain finishes fail. We always sand, always.
Moisture-checked before staining
We test timber moisture content before stain application. Staining timber above 18% MC traps moisture and causes blistering, peeling and rot. We wait for the right conditions.
Test patches before commitment
We apply test patches of your shortlisted finishes so you can see the actual colour and finish on your timber, in your light, before we commit to the whole deck.
End-grain sealing included
Cut ends and exposed end-grain get an extra coat of wax-based sealer. End-grain wicks water into the timber — sealing it is the single biggest defence against premature rot.

Loved by Scottish households.
“Our softwood deck was 8 years old and had gone completely grey. I assumed we'd need to replace it. Maundy Clean restored it — clean, sand, two coats of Osmo UV Protection Oil — and it looks better than the day it was installed. Saved us £4k on a replacement. Re-booked for a top-up coat in 18 months.”
“Three fence panels blown out in a January storm and the rest were green with algae. They replaced the blown panels, pressure-washed the rest, treated with fungicide, and stained the lot with Cuprinol Ducksback in two days. Crew were tidy, polite, and the price was exactly what they quoted.”
“Hardwood ipe deck that I'd been told was 'beyond saving' by another firm. Maundy Clean said it could be saved — and they were right. Two days of restoration work and it's stunning. The technician explained every step and showed me the test patches before committing. I'd book them again without hesitation.”
