Our Process

Safe Restoration, Not Destruction

We use specific techniques to clean decking without stripping the wood surface.

1. Treatment & Cleaning

We start by applying a professional cleaning agent to break down algae and grime. We then use a flat-surface rotary cleaner to gently lift the dirt from the grooves.

Pre-Treatment: Loosens stubborn dirt

Rotary Clean: Consistent, streak-free finish

Gentle Pressure: Protects wood grain

2. Smartseal® Sealing & Protection

Once the deck is thoroughly cleaned, we can seal it with premium Smartseal® wood sealer. This seals the wood, enhancing the colour, repelling water and prevents green growth.

Quality protection: Weather resistance

Water Repellent: Preserves colour and integrity

Anti-Slip

Removes biological slime.

Wood Care

Nourishes dried timber.

Why Clean Your Decking?

The benefits of our professional decking restoration services.

Restore Safety

Algae and moss make wet decking incredibly slippery and dangerous. We remove this hazard to make your deck safe to walk on year-round.

Gentle Cleaning

We use rotary head cleaners and appropriate pressure settings to clean the wood deeply without "furring" or damaging the delicate fibres.

Remove Stains

Our process removes ingrained dirt, food stains, and general grime, revealing the natural wood grain beneath.

Composite Decking

We are experts in cleaning modern composite decking materials, ensuring they are cleaned safely according to manufacturer guidelines.

Smartseal® Sealing

After cleaning, we can apply premium Smartseal® wood sealer and wood protector to protect it from UV rays and rot.

Prevent Rot

Removing moss and algae allows the wood to dry out properly, preventing the damp conditions that lead to wood rot and decay.

Price Promise

The price quoted includes all labour, equipment, and cleaning solutions – no hidden extras. A deck in Parkbridge gets the same fixed, upfront quote as anywhere else we cover.

Fully Insured

We carry full public liability insurance, giving you complete peace of mind while we work on your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our decking cleaning services.

Will pressure washing damage the wood?

It can if done incorrectly with too much pressure or the wrong nozzle. We use professional rotary flat surface cleaners and adjust the pressure to gently lift dirt without "furring" or splintering the wood.

Can you clean composite decking?

Yes, absolutely. Composite decking requires careful cleaning to avoid scratching or damaging the finish. We use soft washing techniques and appropriate cleaning solutions safe for composite materials.

Will it be slippery afterwards?

No, quite the opposite! The primary cause of slippery decking is the layer of algae and moss. Once we remove this biological growth, the natural grip of the wood or composite is restored.

Do you oil the deck as well?

Yes, we offer an optional oiling service. Once the deck is clean and fully dry (which may require a separate visit), we can apply high-quality decking oil to nourish the wood and protect it from the elements.

How often should I have my deck cleaned?

We recommend a professional clean once a year, typically in spring, to remove winter grime and algae build-up, ensuring your deck is safe and looking its best for the summer.

Do you seal the deck as well?

Yes, we offer an optional sealing service, using premium Smartseal® deck sealer. Once the deck is clean and fully dry (which may require a separate visit), we can apply to enhance appearance, protect against weathering and green growth, and prolong the lifespan of your decking.
