decking cleaning bristol — before and after algae removal

WHAT WE CLEAN (ALL DECK TYPES)

• Softwood decking (pine, spruce) — prone to green growth; cleaned gently to avoid splintering
• Hardwood decking (teak, iroko, oak) — lower pressure, along the grain, to preserve the surface
• Composite/PVC decking — specialist detergents + low‑pressure rinse for biofilm removal
• Smooth or grooved boards, steps, handrails and adjoining paths/patios

HOW WE CLEAN (SAFE, SURFACE‑MATCHED METHODS)

Every deck is different. We assess the material, condition and slip risk, then choose the best approach:

• Pre‑treatments to break down algae, moss and grime (wood‑safe detergents/biocides)
• Soft‑wash or controlled jet washing (never harsh blasting); rotary or fan jets as appropriate
• Brush agitation on grooves and stubborn areas; edges finished by hand
• Low‑pressure rinse so dirt lifts without gouging fibres; runoff managed responsibly
• Optional steam for delicate or heavily soiled zones (deep clean at lower pressure)

Result: a uniformly clean deck with the slimy film gone and the wood/composite undamaged.

SLIPPERY DECKS — ALGAE & MOSS REMOVAL

In Bristol’s damp climate, algae can turn decking dangerously slick. Our two‑stage approach (targeted treatment + controlled clean) removes the growth and reduces rapid regrowth. For shaded decks we can schedule a gentle maintenance biocide to keep the surface safer for longer.

OPTIONAL AFTERCARE (PROTECT & ENHANCE)

Keep the “just‑cleaned” look for longer with the right finish (we’ll advise what suits your deck):

• Wood brightener (restores natural colour after a deep clean)
• Penetrating oils (enhance grain, repel water, easier upkeep)
• Breathable sealants/stains (UV protection, colour options)
• Anti‑slip additives (micro‑grit for safer wet grip)

We use professional‑grade products and apply them to manufacturer guidance. If your deck doesn’t need sealing (e.g., some composites), we’ll say so.

FAQS — DECKING CLEANING IN BRISTOL

Will pressure washing damage my deck?


We never blast decking. We use wood‑safe detergents and controlled pressure (or soft‑wash/steam) and clean with the grain to protect fibres and finishes.

Can you clean composite decking?


Yes — we remove biofilm and dirt with specialist cleaners and a low‑pressure rinse that won’t fade the colour or mark the surface.

Do you offer anti‑slip?


Yes — we can include a fine anti‑slip additive in oils/sealants for safer wet grip, ideal for shaded or high‑traffic decks.

How long before I can use the deck?


Usually same day after cleaning (once dry underfoot). If we apply oils/sealants, allow 24–48 hours (weather dependent) — we’ll advise on the day.

How often should I maintain my deck?


Plan a professional clean annually; re‑oil or reseal every 12–24 months depending on exposure and use.
