The Weekend Saver
Painting a fence by hand is one of the most tedious jobs in home maintenance. It eats up weekends and often results in a patchy finish. The Tomar Solution: We bring industrial power to your backyard.
-
Speed: We can spray a 50-metre boundary fence in a single afternoon.
-
Coverage: Our high-pressure spray forces the stain deep into the rough timber grain, providing better protection than a surface brush coat.
-
Finish: No brush marks, no drips, just a solid, uniform wall of colour that frames your property perfectly.
Fast response. Local teams.

Deck Restoration (The "Grey" Killer)
The Problem: UV light turns timber grey and oxidised. Mould makes it slippery.
Our Process:
-
Chemical Scrub: We apply a specialized timber cleaner to lift dirt, old oil, and mould spores.
-
Brightening: (Optional) We use oxalic acid to neutralize the timber and bring back its natural colour.
-
Deep Oiling: We apply premium decking oils (like Dryden or CD50) that penetrate the wood to stop warping and cupping, rather than sitting on top and peeling.
Fence Spraying
The Trend: "Black is Back." A black or dark charcoal fence makes the greenery in your garden pop.
The Service: We mask off your plants and neighbour's property, then apply two heavy coats of fence stain. We handle the trellis, the posts, and the difficult angles with ease.
Retaining Walls
The Detail: Timber retaining walls often rot from moisture. We clean and stain them to match your fence line, tying your whole landscaping look together.
Fast response. Local teams.
We Don't Stain Over Dirt
The biggest mistake DIYers make is staining over dirty wood. This traps mould spores under the oil, causing the timber to turn black and rot from the inside. The Tomar Standard: We always wash before we paint. Whether it's a soft wash for the fence or a scrub for the deck, we ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and sterile. This ensures the new coating bonds perfectly and lasts twice as long.
Fast response. Local teams.
Why Locals Choose Tomar
-
Overspray Control: We are trained to control the spray gun. We use shields and masking tape to ensure the stain goes on the fence, not on your pavers or your neighbour's house.
-
Furniture Moving: Heavy BBQ? Big outdoor table? We help move the heavy items off the deck so you don't have to strain your back.
-
Choice of Product: We don't use cheap "watery" stains. We use high-solids oils and stains from trusted NZ brands like Resene and Cabot's.
Deck and Fence Staining Frequently Asked Questions
Modern water-based oils can be walked on in 4–6 hours. Traditional oil-based products usually require 24 hours to cure fully.
Yes, but we can only go darker. If you have a light pine deck, we can stain it to look like Kwila or darker. We cannot make a dark deck light without expensive sanding.
