The Cedar People Way

  1. Inspect

    We assess the timber for weathering, fading, and surface condition to determine the best approach.

  2. Prepare

    We thoroughly clean the wood using an eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaner to remove all dirt and mould.

  3. Dry

    The cedar is left to dry completely to ensure the new stain absorbs evenly deep into the grain.

  4. Stain

    We apply a high-quality cedar stain evenly to enhance its natural colour and provide lasting protection.

  5. Coat

    We carefully work each section to achieve a consistent, streak-free, and natural-looking finish.

  6. Dry

    The stain needs time to dry and bond with the timber for maximum durability and weather resistance.

  7. Review

    We carry out a final inspection to ensure the finish is flawless, leaving your cedar beautifully protected and refreshed.
