Fabrication, replacement, repair and restoration.
Five complementary services for solid teak decks and bespoke marine elements.
Delivered on board, at the shipyard or through workshop prefabrication.
New teak deck fabrication
A new teak deck begins with accurate geometry and a technically coherent plank layout. Following the survey, we define the margins, king plank, plank direction, seam alignment, removable elements and interfaces with deck equipment. The teak is then selected, machined and prefabricated before controlled installation on board.
- Digital or physical templating according to the project
- Deck engineering: margins, king plank, nibbing and seam geometry
- Quarter-sawn teak selection, moisture verification and available batch traceability
- Workshop prefabrication and dry assembly where appropriate
- Bonding and primer system selected according to the substrate, manufacturer requirements and project specification
- Caulking, controlled sanding and final inspection
Teak passerelles & LED integration
We design and fabricate bespoke solid teak walking surfaces for new or existing yacht passerelles and integrate flush LED lighting where the structure and electrical configuration allow. Particular attention is given to drainage, cable routing, removable access points, alignment and final surface finish.
- Physical or digital templating of the existing passerelle structure
- Bespoke solid teak surface engineered around the available geometry
- Flush LED integration, protected cable routing and access for future maintenance
- Retrofit routing and refinishing of existing teak passerelles
- Alignment of margins, seams and light channels with the yacht's deck language
- Final fit, surface finishing and functional inspection
Renovation & replacement
Full deck replacement should only be recommended after the remaining teak thickness, seam condition, local adhesion and accessible substrate areas have been assessed. Where replacement is necessary, the existing deck is removed carefully, the substrate is inspected and repaired where required, and the new deck is engineered and installed as a complete system. Where technically justified, local repairs are carried out without disturbing sound surrounding areas.
- Measurement of remaining teak thickness and wear patterns
- Inspection of caulking seams, adhesion and suspected water ingress
- Controlled removal of the existing deck
- Substrate cleaning, levelling and local repair where required
- Complete deck replacement or technically justified partial repair
- Replacement of individual planks, margins and damaged caulking seams
Precision teak sanding & restoration
Sanding cannot be assessed only by appearance. Every unnecessary removal of sound timber shortens the remaining service life of the deck. Before starting, we inspect the remaining thickness, fastenings where present, caulking depth, local deformation and previous repairs. The sanding sequence is then adjusted to restore an even surface while removing the minimum amount of sound teak.
- Pre-sanding deck and seam inspection
- Controlled abrasive sequence adapted to the deck condition
- Controlled removal limited to what is technically necessary
- Local caulking repair or renewal where technically required
- Careful work around margins, fittings and deck hardware interfaces
- Final surface inspection and maintenance recommendations
Technical deck survey & diagnosis
Open seams, local lifting, uneven wear or suspected water ingress should be investigated before any repair programme is approved. We inspect the accessible deck system, record visible defects and identify the most probable causes based on the available evidence. The objective is to distinguish cosmetic ageing from failures affecting adhesion, caulking, substrate integrity or remaining service life.
- Visual inspection and mapping of identified defects
- Measurement of remaining teak thickness where accessible
- Assessment of seams, plank adhesion, margins and local movement
- Identification of suspected moisture ingress and previous repairs
- Photographic condition summary and recommended scope of work
- Repair, restoration or replacement scenarios with budget and scheduling implications
The correct intervention starts with the correct diagnosis.
Send us photographs, the vessel length, approximate deck area, location and known history of the deck. We will tell you whether the next step should be a remote review, an on-board survey or a detailed quotation.
