What was needed
How the surface was prepared.
We prepared and gently cleaned the oak porch frame and double door set, working methodically around the timber profiles, joints and detailed edges. The approach was selected to remove accumulated weathering and discolouration while protecting the underlying wood, leaving an even, clean surface ready for the customer's chosen finishing treatment.
