Boards, rails and outdoor access · Melbourne
Timber deck repairs, board replacement, stair and handrail work, sanding and restoration for Melbourne homes.

A deck can look tired on the surface while also hiding movement around boards, stairs, rails or the framing below. Mel One starts with the condition of the complete outdoor area, then separates surface restoration from the carpentry repairs that need to happen first.
Mel One replaces damaged or rotten deck boards and repairs timber steps and handrails. We also replace worn decking over an agreed area and prepare and recoat the whole deck, including sanding, staining or protective oiling to suit the timber and existing finish. The supporting structure is checked before boards are replaced; removal, replacement area and the coating system are set out in the quote.

Frequently asked questions
Cost depends on deck size, access, the number of failed boards, the condition of the substructure and whether sanding or oiling is included. Photos are a useful first step, followed by a site check where needed.
Yes, when the surrounding boards and support structure are sound. If deterioration continues below or across a wider area, a larger repair may be more durable.
Yes. Loose, damaged or rotten components should be addressed before surface preparation and coating so the finish is applied to a sound deck.
Not automatically. Board replacement, other timber repairs, sanding and protective oiling are different parts of the scope. The quote should state the area covered by each item and whether the finish applies only to the repair or to the whole deck.
An exact match cannot be promised. Timber species, board profile, existing weathering and the current coating all affect the result. The available material and finishing options should be checked against the existing deck before the appearance is agreed.
Yes. We can combine local board replacement with preparation and recoating of the full agreed deck area. Repairs come first, then the suitable stain, oil or coating is agreed. Wider decking replacement is also available after the supporting structure and access have been checked.
