Why Saxilby properties need decking cleaning

Saxilby sits on the Fossdyke Navigation, the canal thought to have been dug by the Romans to link the Trent with Lincoln. Homes near the water stay damper than those further away, and that helps moss and algae along. The village has grown a lot, so we see everything from old cottages to new-build estates, and each needs its own approach when we clean the decking.

Decking cleaning in Saxilby by the Fossdyke

Gardens close to the canal in Saxilby rarely dry out fully. Algae makes the decks slippery and wears untreated timber down faster, so cleaning and treating the boards really pays off here.

✗
Slippery boards
Damp algae makes decking slippery, especially near the canal where it rarely dries. So we take it off with a gentle soft wash.
✗
Black mould
If black mould shows on and between the boards, the growth is deep. It's treated first, and then we clean it off while the wood stays sound.
✗
Greying & weathering
Timber goes grey with sun and algae, and untreated boards wear faster too. Still, a proper clean brings back much of the colour.
✗
Muck in the gaps
Muck and moss in the gaps hold water and shorten the deck's life. That's why we clear them every time we clean.

How decking cleaning in Saxilby works

1
Survey and fixed price
We look at the deck, timber or composite, its size and condition, then give you a fixed price. You're not obliged to go ahead.
2
Biocide pre-treatment
Before washing, a biocide goes on to kill algae and mould, so the clean holds up longer near the water.
3
Soft washing
Then we soft wash at low pressure, so residue lifts off while timber stays whole and composite stays unmarked.
4
Between-board clearing
We also clear the moss and muck from between the boards.
5
Rinse & clear
Lastly we take the waste away. When it's dry, mostly in a couple of hours, the deck is ready to use.

Decking cleaning in Saxilby, your questions answered

Q: Can pressure washing damage my decking?
A: Yes, it can, because high pressure splits timber and marks composite. So we soft wash at low pressure instead, and the algae and mould still come off.
Q: Is it worth treating decks near the canal?
A: It really pays off, since algae makes canalside decks slippery and wears untreated timber down faster. A biocide before the clean helps the result last.
Q: How long does decking cleaning take?
A: Most garden decks take 1–3 hours, depending on size and condition. When we quote, we'll also give you a time estimate.
Q: Should I oil the deck after?
A: On timber, it's a good idea. Oil or stain protects the wood and keeps it looking good for longer, so we can suggest products.

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.
