Cedar Renewal – Oil and Staining Services

Ashby Painting and Decorating specialises in restoring and protecting cedar surfaces through expert cleaning, oiling, and staining. Cedar is a soft, natural timber that can be easily damaged if left untreated. New Zealand’s hot summers and wet winters can lead to mould, mildew, cracking, and cupping, reducing the beauty and value of your property. Our team provides tailored cedar renewal services to preserve your timber and transform its look, whether maintaining a natural finish or giving it a modern colour update.

Our Cedar Services

Cedar Cleaning & Washing:

• Signs: Cedar looks worn, dirty, or tired.
• Outcome: Timber is clean, bright, and free of dirt, mould, and debris.
• Treatment: Gentle chemical cleaning using organic mould and fungal solutions that remove oxidised stains without damaging the timber.

Cedar Oil Moisturisation:

• Signs: Weatherboards are dry, cracked, or cupping.
• Outcome: Hairline cracks disappear, boards look refreshed, and moisture protection is restored.
• Treatment: Timber is softly washed, then coated with protective oil. A tinted oil also acts as a UV barrier to prevent sun damage.

Cedar Stripping:

• Signs: Stain is uneven, flaking, or peeling, exposing timber underneath.
• Outcome: Cedar finish is smooth and even, ready for oiling or staining.
• Treatment: Organic stripping agents remove old or broken-down stain for a uniform surface.

Cedar Protection:

• Signs: Water soaks into timber instead of beading, or silvering is visible.
• Outcome: Cedar is protected and water-resistant.
• Treatment: Light wash followed by coating with oil or stain to restore protection.

Cedar Colouring & Staining:

• Signs: Colour has faded or silvered.
• Outcome: Timber looks vibrant, even, and glossy.
• Treatment: After gentle cleaning, cedar is recoated to revive or transform the colour, giving a refreshed or modernised look.
