Specialized products ensure proper adhesion and lasting results on modern decking systems. We understand how different synthetics respond to treatments, selecting products that bond correctly and deliver the durability these premium materials deserve.

Our Deck Painting & Staining Process
1. Initial Consultation
We assess your deck’s material, condition, and exposure, identifying any needed repairs before recommending deck painting or deck staining approaches.
2. Surface Preparation
Thorough cleaning removes dirt, mould, and mildew. We sand raised areas and make repairs. This foundation work ensures proper adhesion and lasting results for both deck painting and deck staining.
3. Protection
Careful masking protects plants, furniture, and surrounding areas. We take extra care around delicate landscaping and outdoor features throughout Chapelgarth, Plains Farm, and Herrington (SR3).
4. Expert Application
Foxglove Decor deck painters apply premium deck painting or deck staining products using brushing, rolling, or spraying for your specific deck type. Multiple coats ensure complete coverage and maximum protection.
5. Proper Curing
We allow adequate drying time between coats, following manufacturer specifications for full durability. Rushing this step compromises results.
6. Final Inspection
We walk through the completed project, addressing any concerns. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we don’t consider the job finished until you’re completely happy.

Deck Painting vs Deck Staining: Making the Right Choice
Choosing between deck painting and deck staining depends on your wood type, aesthetic preferences, and maintenance goals. Both protect effectively when applied by experienced deck painters, but each offers distinct advantages.
Choose Deck Painting When:
You’re covering imperfections or old colours, matching specific colour schemes, working with composite, PVC, or Millboard, or needing maximum weather protection. Deck painting creates a protective film over surfaces. Foxglove Decor deck painters apply premium exterior paints that flex with temperature changes, resisting cracking and peeling.
Choose Deck Staining When:
You want to preserve natural wood grain, enhance wood’s natural beauty, or allow wood to breathe while protected. Professional deck staining penetrates wood fibres rather than sitting on top. We apply transparent, semi-transparent, or solid stains based on your wood’s condition and style preferences.
Deck Painting Cost in Sunderland
Deck painting and staining costs typically range £300-£800+ for smaller decks, with larger projects at £800-£1,500+. These are rough estimates—contact us for an exact quote. For complete exterior updates, bundling with wall painting often provides better value throughout SR2, SR3, and SR6 postcodes.

Why Sunderland Decks Need Professional Deck Painting & Staining
Sunderland’s location at the River Wear mouth creates demanding conditions for outdoor wood. Salt air from the North Sea combined with high humidity levels (averaging 82% in winter) means decks face constant moisture and accelerated wear.
Coastal Climate Protection
Professional deck painting and staining seals wood against moisture, preventing the rot, warping, and splitting common in marine climates. Quality finishes contain UV blockers that stop sun damage and discolouration, protecting your investment year-round against Sunderland’s coastal weather.
Period Property Considerations
Victorian and Edwardian properties throughout Ashbrooke (SR2), Fulwell, and coastal SR6 areas often have rear garden decking requiring specialized attention. Deck colours should harmonize with your home’s period character and exterior paintwork.
Salt Air Damage Prevention
North Sea salt accelerates wood deterioration rapidly in SR6 coastal postcodes. Professional-grade deck staining and deck painting finishes create barriers that protect against salt penetration, extending your deck’s lifespan significantly compared to untreated surfaces.
Spring Fog Considerations
Sunderland experiences sea fog during spring and early summer months, creating additional moisture exposure. Our deck painting and deck staining products are selected specifically to handle these prolonged damp conditions common to North Sea coastal areas.
Materials for Sunderland’s Coastal Climate
Foxglove Decor deck painters use specialized products engineered for challenging maritime conditions. Marine-grade moisture barriers create barriers that shed moisture while allowing wood to breathe naturally, preventing the trapped moisture that causes rot.
Victorian & Edwardian Deck Considerations
Sunderland’s Victorian and Edwardian properties throughout Ashbrooke, Fulwell, and the city centre often feature rear gardens with decking. These period homes need deck painting and staining that respects their character—natural deck staining in wood tones or traditional deck painting colours that complement period architecture.
Popular Deck Colours in Sunderland
Foxglove Decor deck painters provide colour consultations that consider your home’s palette, landscape, and preferences. Coastal-inspired neutrals like greys, weathered whites, and soft blues echo Sunderland’s maritime character. Natural wood tones enhance grain beauty and complement Victorian and Edwardian brickwork throughout Ashbrooke.
Deck Maintenance After Painting or Staining
Foxglove Decor deck painters provide specific maintenance guidance based on your deck’s material, finish type, and exposure. Regular cleaning extends your deck painting or deck staining finish’s lifespan significantly. Deck staining typically needs refreshing every 2-3 years, deck painting lasts 5-8 years depending on exposure to Sunderland’s coastal weather.
