Why Decks Get Slippery

Decking sits in the damp and gathers a film of algae and dirt, especially in shaded spots. This makes the timber slippery and hides its natural colour. A green, slimy deck can be dangerous underfoot. Cleaning lifts the growth away and brings the deck back to a safe, fresh surface in your Wimborne garden.

More Information

Cleaning Timber Safely

Timber needs a gentler touch than paving. We clean decking at the right pressure so the algae and dirt come away without gouging or splintering the wood. Working along the grain, we lift the grime while treating the boards with care. The result is a clean deck that is safe to use and looks refreshed.

Keeping a Deck in Good Shape

Once a deck is clean, a little care keeps it that way. Brushing off leaves and keeping it clear helps slow the algae returning. A yearly clean usually keeps most decks in Wimborne safe and looking good. We can advise on whether an oil or treatment afterwards would help protect your particular deck.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I clean my decking in Wimborne?

Most decking in Wimborne benefits from a clean once a year, usually in spring, to lift the algae that builds up over winter. Shaded decks may need it more often. Regular cleaning keeps the timber safe underfoot and stops the green layer building up into a slippery, harder-to-remove coating.

Will pressure washing damage my decking in Wimborne?

Not when it is done carefully. Timber needs a gentler touch than paving, so we clean decking at the right pressure and work along the grain. This lifts the algae and dirt without gouging or splintering the boards. Done properly, cleaning refreshes a deck in Wimborne and leaves it safe and looking good.

Should I treat my decking after cleaning in Wimborne?

Treating or oiling a deck after cleaning helps protect the timber and slow algae returning, though it is not always essential. It depends on the condition and type of your deck. We can advise during the job whether a treatment would benefit your particular decking in Wimborne and help it last longer.
