Why Horncastle properties need decking cleaning

Horncastle sits where the Bain and the Waring meet, in a sheltered valley on the edge of the Wolds. It’s a damp spot, and a lot of the town is Georgian and Victorian red brick. Soil from the surrounding farmland gets carried in, and surfaces close to the rivers grow back faster after cleaning than ones on open, higher ground.

Decking cleaning in Horncastle's damp valley

Shaded decks in Horncastle, especially in gardens near the rivers, can build up a thick layer of algae and moss. That makes them slippery quickly.

✗

Algae build-up

In a shady Horncastle garden, algae thickens up and makes a deck slippery when wet. We take it off with a gentle soft wash rather than blasting it.

✗

Ingrained black mould

When black mould has spread over and between the boards, it's well into the surface. Treating it comes first, and then the clean lifts it while the timber stays undamaged.

✗

Greying & weathering

Sunlight greys timber, and algae speeds that up. Still, after a thorough clean, a lot of the original colour usually comes back.

✗

Choked gaps

Moss and grit packed into the gaps hold water against the boards, which shortens their life. So we clear them out during each clean.

What Horncastle customers get from us

🏆

Local experts

Plenty of Horncastle homes are Georgian or Victorian red brick, with decks of every age behind them, so we look before we choose a method.

💧

Careful by default

Since some boards are softer than others, we adjust as we go, and the deck comes clean without being damaged.

✅

Fully insured

Every Horncastle job also comes with £1m public liability insurance behind it.

Our decking cleaning in Horncastle, in order

First, a free quote

We look at what the deck is made of, timber or composite, how big it is and its condition. After that we give you a fixed price, with no obligation.

Biocide pre-treatment

Before washing, we spray on a biocide, so the algae and mould are dead before the clean even starts. That's why the result lasts.

Soft washing

Then a low-pressure soft wash clears the residue, while timber doesn't splinter and composite doesn't mark.

Between-board clearing

Also, the gaps get emptied of moss and the grit that collects in them.

Rinse & clear

Finally the waste goes away with us. When the boards are dry, mostly within a couple of hours, the deck can be used again.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Could jet washing damage my deck?

A: It could. High pressure tends to split timber and mark composite boards, so we soft wash at low pressure. That way the algae and mould come off and the boards don't suffer.

Q: Why does my deck by the river stay green?

A: Gardens near the rivers in Horncastle stay shaded and damp, so algae and moss build up quickly. A biocide before the wash helps keep it away for longer.

Q: How long will you be in the garden?

A: Most garden decks take 1–3 hours, depending on size and condition. Also, we'll give you an accurate estimate when we quote.

Q: Do you recommend sealing timber decking?

A: Yes, an oil or stain after cleaning is a good idea, because it protects the wood and keeps it looking better for longer. We can suggest products too.

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.
