Why Weatherboards Rot

Weatherboard damage usually happens due to a combination of factors. Once paint protection wears off, timber absorbs moisture — and that's when rot begins.

  • Failing or old paint (most exterior coatings last around 5 years)
  • Constant exposure to rainwater or moisture
  • Poor drainage around concrete slabs or soil contact
  • Leaking gutters, downpipes, or window frames
  • Water sitting on corners and joints

Do You Need Full Replacement?

A lot of people think they need to replace the whole wall — but in most cases, you don't.

We specialise in:

  • Replacing only the rotten or damaged weatherboards
  • Matching existing profiles for a seamless finish
  • Full repainting with high-quality waterproof coatings
