Ronseal Total Wood Preservative

Does what it says on the can

Have used this product before because it's great for applying with a rose sprayer, does the job in a quarter of the time of brushing..

Three coats on a new 8 by 6 shed did the job well. Excellent finish.

Follow instructions for use and this product is brilliant, covers well, looks well,and repeals water well.

This is solvent based wood preservative that is potent and smelly, where a good mask. I use on joinery stuff. Water base just doesn’t cut it.

Sprayed on my shed looks good gets through the cold winters and still looks as new

This gave good coverage and penetrated the smooth plained timber very well. After two coats a good colour was obtained on the untreated timber. It has stood upto the winter weather well with no signs of the preservative leaching out of the wood. I would buy this product again.

Far superior to a competitors product which just forms a rubbery coloured skin on the wood only to flake off after minimal exposure to the weather - complete removal is then necessary before re- treating. Ronseal Total Wood preservative appears to soak into the wood providing a lasting finish. No deterioration noted after two winters and one summer. I used the Dark Brown (coloured) variety which I understand incorporates some wax for more effective weather proofing. Will use again.

Have used this for many years and it does what it says on the tin

Have used this product for at least 5 years now and its earlier formulation before that. Excellent colour, economical to apply with a brush, and adheres well to planed timber.

This product was used to Stain and protect a new wood greenhouse. It is now well protected from the Winter/Summer weather elements that nature provides.

I first bought this solvented product a few years ago, wishing to avoid any of the incipid and hopeless water based preservatives. At first glance this new can appears to be a different formula with a thicker, muddy brown appearance and less of a "white spirit" smell. It also appears to penetrate the wood less effectively than the original batch, so at present I can only give 3 stars until it proves itself. What I did find with the original batch is it became dull and "powdery" in the sun, which rubbed off on hands and clothes. Against Ronseals advice I overpainted this with their solvented deck oil, which gave a longer lasting and much more pleasing silk finish. I find this fades and becomes porous after two to three years in the sun, but using the two finish method my cabin is showing no sign of rotting at all (note that the two sides of the cabin in constant shade have never needed repainting). I've tried the new can out on a couple of garden tables and will overpaint with the original decking oil again. Despite my reservations they seem to have dried OK so I will update my findings after next summer.

This the 2nd time I have ordered this product from WOOD FINISHES DIRECT - Will do so again🤗

Quality product, good price, delivered when asked.

Again good purchased will keep purchasing as needed

I put 2/3 layers on a new fence prior to the end of summer 2020 - we had a very wet winter and the fence is perfect, we have a number of panels to make up again this spring (ran out of time to finish the project) and have ordered more. It is dark but looks very tidy, smells when using it but not terrible. Coverage: I have used 3 x 5L over a 60 foot stretch of 4 foot feather board fencing, but I have been extremely generous as I do not want to do the fence again soon - 80% of it is 3 layers deep. So its very expensive but was worth it to me.

Brilliant wood preserver, really good finish after the third coats recommended.

Great product ideal to cover my cladding on my new extension

This is solvent based so it penetrates the timber thoroughly and does not sit on the surface like the more common water based products which simply peel off in time. I mix dark brown and black to make a colour like creosote, without the toxic side effects

Good long lasting and easy to use.
