Traditional wood care

Reveal the grain beneath dark staining

A controlled wood-washing process can reduce dirt and staining while preserving the visible grain.

How we can help

Condition checked first

We assess the wood type, staining, cracks and existing damage.

Mild methods first

Chemical strength is adjusted gradually rather than used aggressively.

Honest expectations

Deep stains or heavily damaged wood may not return completely.

Suitable wood areas

Entrances

Posts, thresholds, steps and entrance joinery.

Fittings and latticework

Wooden screens, latticework and detailed joinery.

Exterior wood

Eaves, verandas and other exposed wood, subject to inspection.

Common concerns about natural wood

We often receive these enquiries for older Japanese-style homes.

Darkened entrance wood

Posts or pale wood have darkened and make the entrance look tired.

Rain streaks

Staining remains on eaves or other exterior wood after wiping.

Before visitors or a memorial service

The entrance needs care before welcoming guests.

Keep the natural character

You prefer cleaning the grain to covering it with paint.

Dirt in latticework or joinery

Fine wooden sections remain dirty after ordinary wiping.

How pricing is decided

The price depends on the amount of wood, depth of staining and need for scaffolding. We inspect the wood and provide a free quotation before work.

Wood-care questions

Will the wood look new?

Improvement depends on the wood and the depth of staining.

How is this different from painting?

It removes dirt to reveal the wood rather than covering it with colour.

Is the estimate free?

Yes.

How can I pay?

Cash or bank transfer. Credit cards, electronic money and QR-code payments are not currently accepted.
