Professional Deck Sanding & Restoration

Your timber decking is exposed to the full force of the British weather — rain, frost, UV, and everything in between. Over time, this takes its toll, leaving decks grey, splintered, and slippery. Natural Finishers, based in Maidstone, Kent, provides expert deck sanding and restoration services across the South East and throughout the UK.

Why Sand Your Deck?

Weathered decking isn’t just unsightly — it can become dangerously slippery with algae and moss growth. Splintering boards are a hazard for bare feet and pets. Professional deck sanding removes the damaged surface layer, eliminates algae, and restores the natural colour and texture of the wood.

A freshly sanded and treated deck transforms your outdoor space, making it safe, attractive, and ready for entertaining. It’s far more cost-effective than replacing your entire deck.

Our Deck Sanding Process

  1. Inspection & Cleaning – We assess the deck’s condition and carry out a deep clean to remove dirt, moss, and algae.
  2. Repairs – Any damaged, rotten, or loose boards are repaired or replaced before sanding.
  3. Sanding – We use professional-grade equipment to sand the deck surface and between boards, removing grey weathering and splinters.
  4. Treatment – We apply a high-quality decking oil, stain, or preservative to protect against UV, moisture, and future weathering.
  5. Final Check – A thorough inspection ensures every board is smooth, safe, and beautifully finished.
