Decking and Fence Cleaning Newbridge
Our decking and fence cleaning service in Newbridge does more than wash away the green film, moss and weathered grey. We also treat the timber, so it is less likely to turn green again straight away.
Decking is often damaged by overenthusiastic cleaning. A high-pressure lance held too close can raise the grain and splinter softwood, leaving permanent marks along every board.
We work differently. We use low-pressure techniques, with a fan spray worked along the grain, or a gentle wash. That lets the cleaning solution lift the algae instead of blasting it away.
What our timber cleaning includes
- Low-pressure washing of decking boards, always worked along the grain
- Careful cleaning of fence panels, posts, gates, pergolas and garden furniture
- A biocide treatment to kill remaining algae and moss spores in the timber
- Moss and debris cleared from grooves, board gaps and fixings
- Optional re-oiling, staining or sealing once the timber is fully dry
Safety and appearance
Green decking can be a real hazard in wet weather, so the clean is about safety as well as appearance. Algae makes boards slick underfoot, particularly on shaded steps and ramps.
Timing matters. We leave the wood to dry before any oil or stain goes on, because coatings applied to damp timber do not bond properly.
Choosing a finish
If you would like fresh colour, we can re-oil or stain once the timber is clean and dry. We will talk you through whether a clear finish or a colour suits your boards.
Fence panels and posts get the same gentle approach. We work along the grain, and take care with gates, trellis and anything fragile.
Garden timber collects algae quickly in the shade, so regular cleaning helps it last.
If you have a patio beside the decking, we can clean both in one visit. Our patio cleaning covers the paving, and our moss, algae and weed treatment helps slow regrowth on shaded boards and panels. For the house itself, see exterior house cleaning.
