Overview

Ronseal Total Wood Preservative has been formulated to provide long lasting protection against woodworm attack, wood rot, decay and blue stain fungus.

Please note: The clear version of this product comes in a blue tin and is suitable for interior joinery. The clear wax free formula protects roofing timbers, floor joists and more from dry rot, woodworm and can be over-painted with water-based products if required.

Preparation

New Bare Timber

Ensure all wooden surfaces to be treated are clean, dry and free from dirt, debris and other surface contaminates

Previously Coated Timber

Any surface coatings such as paint, varnish or stain must be fully removed by sanding back to bare wood or by using a suitable varnish, stain or paint stripper, prior to applying a wood preservative

Old Timber

Wood that has become decayed should be removed and replaced
Cut out and burn all decayed wood at least 45cm beyond the area of damage
Brush down the wood with a stiff broom or brush to remove any ingrained surface dirt
Traces of mould, algae or fungi must be removed with a stiff brush or scraper
Areas that have been affected by mould, algae or fungi should be treated with a suitable exterior wood cleaner
Fill in any gaps or imperfections in the wood with Ronseal High Performance Wood Filler or Ronseal Multi Purpose Wood Filler
To eradicate existing woodworm infestations, use Ronseal Woodworm Killer then treat with Total Wood Preservative when dry for additional protection

Application

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Shake or stir well prior to and during application, more so when using the coloured version to ensure a consistent colour and finish.

Total Wood Preservative can be brush, dip or spray applied. If spraying, use a coarse spray and avoid misting. Avoid contact with bitumen, bitumen felt, mastics and plastics.

Apply Ronseal Total Wood Preserver to wood using a Ronseal Fence Life Brush or other application method
Where possible, end grain should be dipped or given extra coats to ensure the best possible protection
We recommend applying at least 2 coats, 3 for the best protection
Allow 24 hours drying time between coats

Aftercare

Maintenance

If being used as a stand alone wood treatment, Ronseal Total Wood Preserver can be maintained by applying a fresh coat on a yearly or 2-yearly basis depending upon weathering conditions. If this product is being over-coated, it will retain its preserving properties for up to 5 years subject to the top-coat not degrading over time.

Repeat Purchase

Second purchase of wood preservative. Very pleased with the ease of application and whilst not the cheapest does appear to be the best!

Competitively priced and delivered very quickly

I 'I recently used this wood preserve and I’m incredibly impressed. The application was smooth and effortless, leaving a consistent finish. The colour is rich and vibrant, enhancing the natural beauty of the wood whilst providing excellent protection. Highly recommended for anyone looking to treat and protect their outdoor woodwork.'

Very good quality and gives a great finish

I have used this product loads of times and it protects the wood very well

Great stuff

Does what it says on the tin!

It's my product/wood preserver of choice.

Gives good depth of colour and fair coverage, when applied by brush.

Easy to apply, 2 coats gave good colour cover

This is the first time I have used this particular Ronseal product. Time will tell if its as good as their 'Shed & Fence Preserver' 5* if it does.

Ideal decorative preservative

Used for our fences and sheds for a long period. Minimum preparation and easy to apply. Looks good but a little expensive.

Great product, easy to apply by brush.

Soaked into the wood well, does not just sit on the surface.Colour looked a bit thin at first but after shaking the tin well again , and yet again , the green appeared and gives an excellent finish. A good price and was delivered promptly once back in stock. An excellent company to deal with.

Does what it says on the tin

Does what it says on the tin, what else is there to say

Been using this for years

Great product for long term protection for timber need to give a good shake of the tin as colour can be inconsistent

Did the job to my satisfaction and was delivered very quickly which was a very appreciated as I h...

I needed to protect some new roofing joists before installation in my house extension. During an impromptu visit, a director for the manufacturers said the accepted industry product that they would normally use, only dealt with long horn beetle and was temporary in its effect. He said the Ronseal product was significantly more potent, had much better longevity and covered a more extensive range of problems, including fungi and insects.

Does just what it says on the tin.

Solid colour with good coverage. Not the cheapest but worth it in my opinion.

Easy to apply and looks good

Easy to apply and the clear version brings out the warmth of the wood.

Great product

Easy to apply and colour (dark brown) is lovely

Hope it works as stated on the tin.

Easy to apply. Let's see how the fence does over the next couple of years. When first applied the green is a bit bright, but it weathers down.

Best deck protection I've used

I've used several other leading brands, but none give as durable finish as this one. The colour is also very good, makes my pine decking look like oak and the water resistance is fantastic - it just runs off.

Lovely colour and easy to use

Good product when first applied. Only time will tell how it weathers.

Excellent product

I use ronseal total wood preserver every year on my 40 ft X 9 ft pigeon loft. It does an excellent job and keeps my loft in excellent condition. It also protects it from the harsh weather we have in Scotland

Great product, and although there are cheaper alternatives, this only needs redoing every seven y...

Very good, doubt you would find better any cheaper. Have been using this for many years.

It Does The Job

Easy to apply. A rather bright green at first that weathers to a much nicer shade of green.

Excellent coverage & colour lasts

Used this product a number of time for large fenced area, does the job as described on the tin!

This is a great product, which I have used many times.

It does exactly what it says on the can. It is an excellent product.

100% better that some competitors products.

This preservative actually soaks into the wood unlike a competitor's product which just lays on top of the wood surface as a sort of rubbery coating which peels of if subjected to a summer's sun and rain. I have used this Ronseal product for several years and never had any problems.

Good experience as before

The product was advertised good as claimed

Good product, needs a good shake and then a couple to 3 coats as says on tin for deep black.

Very happy with this product and will be buying more to finish the rest of the project!

Best I’ve used

Easy to apply,looks good. Use three coats and forget about it . Has not had to be reapplied since I bought my first cans,Always bought from you so you will know when that was. Can’t remember as it’s been quite a while.

Best protection

Cheaper products on the market which claim to do the same job but the protection is inferior and doesn’t last.

Great product, great colour.

Covers well with just one coat and is an excellent colour; it just seems to make the wood disappear into the background, so ideal for painting items you don't want to stand out. It is also the perfect backdrop for trees, shrubs and plants.
