Restore, protect, and enhance the natural beauty of your vessel’s woodwork—inside and out. At Nautilus Marine Services, we offer a comprehensive range of wood care services tailored to your vessel’s unique needs and the condition of each surface. Whether you’re looking to preserve high-gloss interior finishes or revive weathered exterior teak, we deliver results that combine visual appeal with long-term durability.
We work on all types of marine woodwork, including:
Interior: cabin doors, cupboards, drawers, paneling, and fine cabinetry
Exterior: grab rails, toe rails, hatch trims, steps, cockpit floors, and swim platforms
Our services include:
Cleaning and brightening of weathered or discoloured wood using specialist teak care products
Sanding and surface prep – from light keying to deeper restoration sanding
Sealing, oiling, and varnishing, tailored to the desired finish: matte, satin, or high-gloss
Maintenance re-coats or full strip-back and refinish, depending on condition
We use a selection of trusted, UK-available products, chosen to match the specific needs of each job:
Deks Olje D.1 & D.2 – ideal for deep-penetrating oiling and layered gloss finishes
Semco Teak Sealer – a low-maintenance, natural-looking protective finish
Wessex Teak Cleaner & Brightener – effective for two-stage teak restoration
International Woodskin – a flexible, microporous hybrid varnish/oil blend
Epifanes and Hempel varnishes – for premium gloss finishes with excellent UV protection
Owatrol Decking Oil – used in select cases for its water-repellent properties
Tailored to Your Vessel
Every piece of wood has its own story—its age, exposure, grain, and previous treatments all factor into how we approach its care. We work with you to choose the right finish, level of gloss, and maintenance plan to suit both your preferences and the surface’s specific needs.
Whether you're aiming for a natural, understated look or a deep, mirror-like finish, we ensure every surface is prepared and finished to professional standards—delivering not just visual restoration, but long-lasting protection from the elements.
