Before and after
Recent decking cleaning work in Whittle-le-Woods.
What decking cleaning includes
Timber needs a gentler, slower method than hard paving — especially raised decking with steps and balustrades.
- Initial conversation, then assessment — checking board and balustrade condition where a visit is needed.
- A clear written quotation — scope, inclusions, exclusions and the expected finish.
- Property protection — planting and borders below and around the deck protected.
- Low-pressure clean, with the grain — never blasted across the grain, to avoid splintering.
- Algae and moss removal from boards, steps and gaps — usually the biggest visible improvement.
- No oiling or staining included — decking oiling is a separate job we don't currently offer as standard.

Cleaning lifts algae, moss and general grey weathering from decking well — it doesn't repair rotten or loose boards, and it doesn't restore original wood colour without a separate oiling step.
| Board age | Timber greys and weathers with UV and rain. Cleaning lifts dirt but colour won't fully return without oiling afterwards. |
|---|---|
| Algae and moss | Common on shaded, raised decking and usually the main improvement — and the main slip risk before cleaning. |
| Steps and balustrades | Cleaned with the same low-pressure approach as the deck boards, not blasted. |
| Loose or rotten boards | Flagged, not repaired — structural decking issues are a separate job. |
| Drying time | Decking needs to dry fully before any oiling or staining, which we don't include as part of this service. |
| Grain direction | Pressure is kept low and worked with the grain to avoid raising or splintering the surface. |

How it works
A short enquiry, then a conversation with Kieran about the work. Where a site visit is the right next step, we look at access, drainage and condition in person before anything is priced — then you get a clear written quotation, and only pay once the work is finished and you're happy with it.

Will decking cleaning make it less slippery?
Removing algae usually helps considerably, since algae is the main slip risk on decking — but we can't guarantee a slip rating, and decking can still be slippery when wet even when clean.
Do you oil or stain decking afterwards?
Not currently — it's a separate specialist job we don't offer as standard. We'll tell you honestly if we think it would be worth arranging separately.
Will loose or rotten boards be fixed?
No — that's a repair job, not a cleaning one. We'll flag anything we find and give you an honest view rather than cleaning over it.
What does decking cleaning cost in Whittle-le-Woods?
We don't publish prices. Cost depends on the measured area, how much algae there is, and access for hoses and waste water. Send an enquiry and Kieran will talk it through with you.
How long will it stay clean?
Shaded, damp decking under trees will green up again within a season; open, sunny decking can stay cleaner for considerably longer.
