Why Cedar Weatherboards Need Regular Oiling
Without regular oiling, cedar weatherboards dry out, crack, splinter and turn a dull silvery-grey as natural oils are lost. Auckland’s intense UV rays accelerate this process significantly — particularly on north and west-facing walls.
Signs Your Cedar Needs Attention:
| ✓Timber has turned grey or silver — natural oils have been fully depleted |
| ✓Surface feels dry, rough or splintery rather than smooth to the touch |
| ✓Previous oil coating is visibly peeling, flaking or pulling away |
| ✓Cracks or splits appearing along the grain of the timber boards |
| ✓More than 2–3 years since the last professional oil application |
| ✓Timber looks dull, lifeless and has lost its natural warmth and beauty |
Our Cedar Oil Coating Process
Step-by-Step Process:
| 1 |
Free surface assessment — we inspect your cedar and advise on the best treatment |
| 2 |
High-pressure washing — removes all dirt, mould, lichen and old failing coatings |
| 3 |
Light sanding — carefully opens the timber grain to maximise oil penetration |
| 4 |
Timber repairs — cracked boards and damaged areas addressed before oiling |
| 5 |
First coat cedar oil — applied generously, worked deep into the timber grain |
| 6 |
Full absorption period — never rushed between coats |
| 7 |
Second coat cedar oil — maximum protection and colour depth |
| 8 |
Final inspection — every board checked for even, consistent coverage |

How Often Should Cedar Be Oiled in Auckland?
| ✓Every 2–3 years as a general guide for Auckland conditions |
| ✓North and west-facing walls — more sun exposure, may need treatment every 2 years |
| ✓South and east-facing walls — less exposure, can often wait 3 years |
| ✓Regular maintenance is far more cost-effective than waiting for serious deterioration |
| ✓Neglected cedar may require expensive board replacements — regular oiling prevents this |
Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Can I paint over oiled cedar?
Yes — but the oil must be fully cured and the surface correctly primed first. We can advise on the best approach.
❓ How long does cedar oiling take?
For an average Auckland home, professional cedar oiling takes 2–4 days depending on size, timber condition and weather.
❓ Best time of year to oil cedar in Auckland?
Dry, mild weather is ideal — spring and autumn are best. We avoid applying oils in direct hot sun, extreme cold or ahead of forecast rain.
❓ My cedar has turned grey — can it be restored?
In most cases, yes. Even badly greyed cedar can be restored with a thorough wash, careful sand and multiple oil applications. Call us for a free assessment.
