Decking cleaning in Louth and the Lud valley

Louth sits in the Lud valley on the edge of the Wolds. The valley is sheltered, so north and west-facing walls and paths don’t see much sun, and moss and algae move in. Dirt off the chalk and clay of the Wolds sticks to surfaces and builds into a stubborn film over time. The town’s Victorian red brick terraces often show it most.

Trouble spots on Louth decks

Decks in Louth stay damp long after rain because the valley is so sheltered. Algae and moss grow fast, so the boards get slippery sooner than in most places.

✗
Slick boards
Algae on damp boards is slippery, and in a sheltered valley it rarely dries off. So we remove it with a soft wash, which won't harm the deck.
✗
Black growth
When black mould covers the boards and fills the gaps, it's got deep into the surface. Treating it first means it then comes off while the wood stays sound.
✗
Greying & weathering
Sunlight and algae turn timber grey, while a proper clean brings plenty of the original colour back.
✗
Moss in the joints
Moss and Wolds dirt packed into the joints hold water and shorten the deck's life. That's why we clear them every time.

How decking cleaning in Louth goes

1
Survey and price
We look at the deck, timber or composite, how big it is and its condition, and then give you a fixed price with no obligation.
2
Biocide pre-treatment
Before washing, a biocide goes on to kill the algae and mould, so the clean lasts longer in the valley damp.
3
Soft washing
Then a low-pressure soft wash removes the residue, so timber doesn't splinter and composite doesn't mark.
4
Between-board clearing
We also clear the moss and dirt out of the gaps.
5
Rinse & clear
Last, we take the waste away. When it's dry, generally in a couple of hours, the deck is ready to use again.

Decking cleaning in Louth, your questions answered

Q: Is it risky to pressure wash decking?
A: It is, because high pressure splits timber and can mark composite. So we soft wash at low pressure, which still removes algae and mould but leaves the surface alone.
Q: Can composite decking be cleaned?
A: Yes, and composite responds well to a soft wash. Our methods are safe for all the major brands, so the manufacturer's warranty is unaffected.
Q: How soon can I use the deck again?
A: When the boards have dried, which generally takes a couple of hours after we finish, you can use the deck as normal.
Q: Should I oil the boards after cleaning?
A: If they're timber, it's a good idea. Oil or stain protects the wood and keeps it looking good for longer, so we can suggest products that 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.
