Why older Alford gardens need decking cleaning

Alford is an old Wolds market town with plenty of Victorian and Georgian brick buildings around the centre. Soil from the surrounding fields settles on walls and paths, and older gardens with big trees and a north or west-facing aspect grow moss and algae faster. We clean decking all over the town and the villages around it.

What a neglected deck looks like in Alford

In the older parts of Alford, a north-facing deck can build up thick, slippery moss within two growing seasons if nobody cleans it.

✗

Green and slippery

When algae gets wet, the boards turn treacherous, and plenty of people slip on them every year. We lift it off with a gentle soft wash.

✗

Black marks in the grain

If black mould has settled into the timber, it has worked its way below the surface. So we treat it first, and then it comes away without harming the boards.

✗

Greying & weathering

Grey timber is mostly down to sun and algae working on the wood together. Once we clean it, much of the original colour comes back.

✗

Packed gaps

Moss and dirt wedged between boards hold on to water, so the deck rots sooner than it should. We pick the gaps clean on every visit.

🏆

Local experts

Every deck in Alford is a bit different, so we pick the method once we've seen the boards rather than guessing.

💧

Matched to the boards

Timber and composite need different handling, so we adjust the approach and still get the dirt out.

Fully insured

Each Alford job is also covered by our £1m public liability insurance.

How decking cleaning in Alford works

Look and price first

We come out, check whether it's timber or composite and how bad the growth is, then give you a fixed price. There's no obligation.

Biocide pre-treatment

Before any washing starts, a biocide goes on to kill the algae and mould at the root, so the clean lasts longer.

Soft washing

Then a low-pressure soft wash takes the loosened growth away without splintering wood or scuffing composite.

Between-board clearing

After that we work along the gaps and pull out the moss and silt.

Rinse & clear

Finally we bag up the waste and take it away. When the boards have dried, generally in a couple of hours, you can use the deck again.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Can a pressure washer ruin decking?

A: Yes, it can. Too much pressure splits timber and leaves marks on composite. So we use a low-pressure soft wash instead, and it still shifts the algae and mould.

Q: Do you clean composite decks as well?

A: We do. Composite cleans up well with a soft wash, and the methods we use are safe for all the major brands, so they won't affect the manufacturer's warranty.

Q: How long will the job take?

A: Most garden decks take 1–3 hours, depending on size and how much growth there is. When we quote, we'll give you a proper time estimate.

Q: Is it worth oiling the deck afterwards?

A: On timber, yes. An oil or stain once it's clean protects the wood and keeps it looking better for longer, and we're happy to suggest products that suit your boards.

From the initial consultation through to the completion of our roof cleaning, including the thorough removal of all debris afterwards, the Fenland Property Care team were consistently professional, courteous and meticulous. We were also very pleased with the cost of the works, which represented excellent value for the service provided.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The operative arrived on time, as arranged. Brought the necessary kit to clean an accumulation of dirt, weeds and debris over several years from our drive and patio. This was accomplished by the end of the working day when all was looking pristine. Surfaces had been cleaned down. A week later they were back to fill the gaps with kiln dried sand and now it looks like new.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely brilliant service. Very professional and friendly. Came to give a quote and was pleasantly surprised. My front and back garden look brand new. All slabs are the original colour and weedless and the front is weed free and looks amazing. They worked really hard throughout the day and also returned to finish the work, due to really hot weather. Very good customer service, had a concer and called me back within 30 minutes. Would definitely recommend 👌

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An excellent job.
From start to finish what an absolute pleasure.
No pushy salesman just an authentic genuine quote. Even when I added a couple of bits, nothing was too much trouble. The price was really good too.
Paul and Dale turned up on time on the date stated. Even though the weather was horrible they got cracked on with the job.
They grafted all the time they were there. The work carried out was exceptionally good. They cleaned up all of the mess afterwards and let the place spotless.
I cannot praise them enough.
They treated my mum and her bungalow with the utmost respect.
