Why Alford Properties Need Professional Decking Cleaning

Alford is a traditional Lincolnshire Wolds market town, and its properties face the typical challenges of this part of the county — clay-rich Wolds soils blown from surrounding agricultural land, the elevated humidity of a valley-sheltered position, and the rapid biological growth typical of properties with north and west-facing surfaces in a modest-scale town with established trees. Victorian and Georgian brick buildings throughout the market town accumulate the red-brown Wolds clay dust that is a distinguishing feature of this part of Lincolnshire.

Is Your Decking Letting Down Your Property?

Alford’s Wolds-edge position and the moisture-retaining conditions of the town’s sheltered valley mean garden decking here develops the biological growth typical of a modest-scale Lincolnshire market town — north-facing decking areas in the town’s older residential properties accumulate thick, slippery moss within two growing seasons.

✗

Slippery Green Algae

Wet algae on decking is one of the most common causes of garden slips — professional soft washing removes it safely.

✗

Black Mould & Dark Staining

Black mould between boards and on decking surfaces is a sign of deep biological growth — specialist treatment removes it without damage.

✗

Greying & Weathering

Timber decking turns grey with UV exposure and biological growth — a professional clean can restore the original colour significantly.

✗

Debris Between Boards

Dirt, moss, and organic matter packed between boards trap moisture and shorten the life of the decking — we clear these as part of every clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will pressure washing damage my decking?

A: High-pressure washing can damage timber and composite boards. That’s why we use low-pressure soft-washing — effective at removing algae and mould without splitting, raising fibres, or causing surface damage.

Q: Is it safe to clean composite decking?

A: Yes. Composite boards respond well to soft-wash cleaning. We use methods that are safe for all major composite brands and won’t void manufacturer warranties.

Q: How long does decking cleaning take?

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

Q: Should I oil or seal my decking after cleaning?

A: For timber decking, applying an oil or stain after cleaning protects the wood and keeps it looking great for longer. We can advise on the right products for your decking type.
