Decking cleaning in Holbeach and the South Holland fens

Holbeach sits in the South Holland fens, some of the flattest farmland in England, and it’s surrounded by bulb fields. The water table is high, so the ground stays wet, and moss and algae grow on outside surfaces faster here than in drier parts of the county. Without some ongoing upkeep, treated surfaces can start to regrow within a year or two.

Where Holbeach decks go wrong

Decks in Holbeach sit on flat ground that holds surface water, with farmland close by. Algae and moss have it easy here, so expect to clean more often than you would further inland.

✗

Slime on the boards

A film of wet algae is surprisingly slippery, so decks like this cause a fair few falls. Our soft wash takes it off without roughing up the boards.

✗

Mould in the grain

Black mould on the boards, and in between them, tells you the growth has gone deep. It won't budge until it's treated, so we treat it, then wash it off with the wood left intact.

✗

Greying & weathering

Grey, tired timber comes from sun and algae acting together. When it's cleaned properly, though, much of the warmer colour returns.

✗

Silt and moss

Gaps full of silt and moss stay wet, and wet boards don't last. So clearing those gaps is built into every clean.

Local decking cleaning in Holbeach

In Holbeach we see plenty of decks on flat, wet ground, and we still check each one before deciding how to tackle it.

💧

Each deck on its merits

If the boards are timber they get one treatment, and if they're composite another, so they come clean either way.

✅

Fully insured

Also, any work we do in Holbeach is covered by £1m public liability insurance.

Decking cleaning in Holbeach, start to finish

We come and price it

We have a look at the deck to see if it's timber or composite, how big it is and how bad things are. Then we quote a fixed price, and you can say no.

Biocide pre-treatment

Before anything else, a biocide goes down to kill the algae and mould, because otherwise fen decks green up again quickly.

Soft washing

Next, the low-pressure soft wash rinses the dead growth off, so timber isn't torn up and composite isn't scarred.

Between-board clearing

We then work through the gaps, lifting out moss and silt.

Rinse & clear

At the end we load up the waste and go. Once it has dried, generally in a couple of hours, the deck is yours again.

Decking cleaning in Holbeach, your questions answered

Q: Isn't a pressure washer quicker?

A: It may be quicker, but high pressure splits timber and marks composite. So we stick to a low-pressure soft wash, which still clears algae and mould and leaves the surface sound.

Q: Will the algae just come back?

A: In time it will, because Holbeach is flat and damp. However, the biocide we apply first kills it at the root, so you get a much longer gap between cleans.

Q: Do you clean composite decking?

A: Yes, and it responds well to a soft wash. The methods we use are safe on all the major brands, so you won't affect the manufacturer's warranty.

Q: Should the timber be oiled afterwards?

A: It's well worth it, since oil or stain protects the wood and keeps it looking better for longer. We'll also suggest products for 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.

We would not hesitate to recommend his work.
