We recently received a cry for help from a client who had the following problem (taken from their email):

'Query: Hi, we are in the process of installing a new Balu deck, due to the recent wet weather in the UK the un-treated deck has gone slightly grey as it\'s dried out from a few days of heavy rain.

Can you advise me, as it\'s only minor weathering shall I just apply DEKS OLJE D1 or will I need to clean with Net-trol first?

I have a 45m2 deck, how much DEKS OLJE D1 do you think I will need?

What is your stock availability like? Delivery times?

How long will the deck need to dry out before application, will it require a number of days of dry weather after application? We couldn\'t have chosen a worse time to install it :-(

Look forward to your response, Heddwyn'

We then gave the advice required to rejuvenate the deck and so I wanted to share the response with all, as it is always pleasing to see the results and delight of clients.  Here it is:

'Thanks again Gary, your oil has transformed our decking - its beautiful see attached pic, wanted to share, thanks again - very very happy!!!'
