Carpentry work on a boat

Marine carpentry ranges from restoring classic wooden boats to fitting out the interiors of GRP boats: furniture, bulkheads, soles, doors and lockers. One of the most common jobs is the teak deck: sanding, re-caulking seams, replacing planks and, when it is worn through, a full replacement in natural or synthetic teak.

Carpenters also varnish handrails, toerails and cockpit trim, which needs frequent touch-ups under strong sun. A good varnish built up in several coats protects the wood for years.

Choosing a marine carpenter

Ask to see previous work, especially if your boat is a classic: traditional wooden boat restoration is a specialist trade and not every workshop masters it. Ask which timbers and adhesives they use and whether the work is done aboard or in the shop.

In Costa Blanca, plan deck and varnish work for winter, with the boat hauled out or under cover, so wood and adhesives cure in good conditions.

Marine carpentry in Costa Blanca: frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to replace a teak deck?

It depends on the area, the condition of the substrate and whether you choose natural or synthetic teak. Ask for a per-square-metre quote that includes removing the old deck.

How often should exterior wood be varnished?

In strong sun, a maintenance coat every season and a full strip and varnish every few years. If grey or lifting patches appear, don't wait.

Natural or synthetic teak?

Natural teak is more expensive and needs care, but it remains the benchmark in feel and looks. Synthetic is slightly heavier, gets hotter in the sun and needs almost no maintenance.

Can classic wooden boats be restored?

Yes, there are shipwrights specialised in traditional restoration. It is a long job best planned after a survey.
