Maintenance and Refit
When does a teak deck need replacing and what does it cost?
What decides it is remaining thickness rather than appearance: if the screw plugs are close to the surface or the caulking no longer bonds, replacement time has arrived.
Why it works this way
The real risk is not the teak but the water finding its way beneath it, which rots the core of a sandwich deck. Moisture readings and hammer testing should therefore precede any decision.
