Before the repairs
The damage behind the job.
Replacement handrail
A fresh section, fitted to the existing deck.
The new hardwood rail follows the existing balustrade around the corner. The wider view shows how the replacement sections meet the retained timber.
The scope focused on the damaged post and handrail, rather than a complete deck rebuild.
Planning timber repairs?
Start with the affected area.
Can you replace just the damaged sections?
It depends on the extent of deterioration and the condition of the adjoining timber. Photos are a useful first step; a closer inspection may be needed to establish the scope.
What should I send with my enquiry?
Include a close-up of the damage, a wider photo of the deck or balustrade, your suburb and any useful access details.
