Remove surface dirt and growth
Cleaning can lift algae, grime and some grey weathering from suitable timber.
Lower-pressure cleaning for suitable timber decking and fencing across Stockport, Greater Manchester and Cheshire.

Cleaning can lift algae, grime and some grey weathering from suitable timber.
Built-up algae and dirt are removed from the boards, grooves and accessible edges.
Cleaning may be the first step before oiling or staining, once the timber has dried properly.
We look for loose boards, splintering, coatings and other areas that need care.
The timber is cleaned with reduced pressure and a suitable spray pattern.
We clean accessible details around posts, steps and changes in level.
We explain the drying time and what to consider before applying any oil or stain.
Timber can be marked by too much pressure. We inspect it first and use a lower-pressure method, but badly weathered or damaged boards may still need repair.
Possibly. We test a discreet area first because loose or weathered paint may lift during cleaning.
Drying time depends on the weather, shade and airflow. Timber must be fully dry before any oil or stain is applied.
Not always. Age, porosity, previous treatments and the source of a stain affect the result. Once we have seen the surface, we will explain what is realistic and may suggest a small test area.
Loose pointing, failing coatings, cracked materials and unstable joints need to be identified before cleaning. We will discuss whether cleaning should be adjusted, delayed or avoided.
