Complete caulking renewal

Every caulking seam across the entire deck renewed in a single programme — a complete recaulk rather than a repair of the worst runs. When enough of a deck’s seams have failed, renewing them piecemeal only leaves the next failure a season away; taking the whole deck at once returns it to a known, uniform condition with every joint the same age.

The existing caulk was removed seam by seam and the plank edges cleaned back to a sound profile, so the new compound could bond to bare timber rather than to the remains of the old seam. Every seam was then recharged across the full field of the deck, left to cure, and trimmed proud before the deck was taken down to a final sanding.

That last stage is what makes a recaulk disappear: trimming and sanding bring the new black seams flush with the surrounding planks, so the deck reads as continuous teak rather than a grid of fresh repairs. The outcome is a fully watertight deck with a clean, even surface — the original planking preserved, and the caulking reset to zero across every seam at once.
