Decking cleaning in Boston, close to the Wash

Boston is a fen town close to the Wash, and it’s one of the dampest parts of Lincolnshire. Sea mist rolls in, the drains keep the ground wet, and moss and algae grow fast on outside surfaces. The land is flat, so water sits on drives and patios instead of draining away, and green stains come back quickly between cleans.

What damp does to a Boston deck

Without a biocide treatment, decks in Boston can get dangerously slippery within months of the last clean. Flat ground and damp air off the Wash both play a part.

✗
Slick with algae
Algae on wet boards is a common reason people fall in the garden. Since Boston stays damp, it builds up fast, but a soft wash takes it off safely.
✗
Mould and dark streaks
If you see black mould on or between the boards, the growth has got deep. So we treat it first, and then it comes off without any harm to the wood.
✗
Greying & weathering
Timber fades to grey because sunlight and algae both work on it. Even so, a thorough clean brings back much of its colour.
✗
Clogged gaps
Muck and moss packed into the gaps hold water, and that shortens the life of the deck. That's why we clear the gaps during every clean.

How decking cleaning works in Boston

1
Survey, then a price
We look at the deck, whether it's timber or composite, how large it is and its condition. Then we give you a fixed price, with no obligation to go ahead.
2
Biocide pre-treatment
Before cleaning, a biocide goes over the boards to kill the algae and mould, so it's slower to come back in the damp.
3
Soft washing
After that, a low-pressure soft wash takes the residue away without splintering timber or marking composite.
4
Between-board clearing
We also clear the moss and muck that builds up between the boards.
5
Rinse & clear
Lastly, we take the waste with us. When the deck is dry, mostly within a couple of hours, it's clean and ready to use.

Decking cleaning in Boston, your questions answered

Q: Will pressure washing damage my deck?
A: It can, because high pressure splits timber and can mark composite. So we soft wash at low pressure, which shifts algae and mould without harming the surface.
Q: How often do decks need cleaning near the Wash?
A: Decks in damp spots like Boston go green sooner than most. The biocide we put down first helps, though, so the clean lasts longer than a hose-down would.
Q: How long does the clean take?
A: Most garden decks take 1–3 hours, depending on size and condition. When we quote, we'll also give you a proper time estimate.
Q: Do I need to oil timber decking afterwards?
A: It's a good idea, especially on timber. An oil or stain after cleaning protects the wood and keeps it looking good for longer, and we can tell you which products suit.

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.

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.

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 👌

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.

Fenland did a great job cleaning and re-sanding my block paving path and my patio. Polite and efficient and cleaned the doors and windows where the dirt had splashed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Paul cleaned my drive, paths and patio the other day and I have never seen them look so clean. He cleaned the windows and left everything clean and tidy. We were very pleased with the way he worked and have had a lots of compliments from other people. We would not hesitate to recommend his work.
