Timber And Composite Decking
Decking cleaning in Burgess Hill and Mid Sussex needs a careful approach. Timber boards can splinter if blasted too hard. Composite decking can mark if the wrong cleaner is used. We clean with the grain, control the pressure and rinse properly. The goal is to remove algae, dirt and slippery build-up without chewing up the surface.
Why Decking Gets Slippery
Decking often sits in shaded parts of the garden, close to fences, trees or planting. In places like Haywards Heath, Hassocks, Hurstpierpoint and Cuckfield, damp weather and leaf fall can make boards green and slick through winter. Cleaning removes that layer and makes the space feel usable again. It is especially worthwhile before spring and summer when you want the garden back in regular use.
What We Do
We inspect the boards, fixings and access before starting. Loose or rotten sections are flagged rather than forced. Timber decking is cleaned with controlled pressure and sometimes a treatment to help lift algae. Composite decking is treated more gently and rinsed well. Steps, edges and balustrades can be included if you want the whole area refreshed.
Pricing And Areas
Small decking areas usually start from £80, with larger or heavily stained areas priced after photos. Decking can be combined with patio cleaning, solar panel cleaning or gutter clearance. We cover Burgess Hill and the wider Mid Sussex area, including Haywards Heath, Hassocks, Hurstpierpoint, Lindfield, Ditchling, Wivelsfield and Bolney.
What To Expect On The Day
Before we start, we clear loose furniture where practical and ask you to move anything delicate. We check where water will run and make sure gates, side paths and drains are workable. In Burgess Hill and Mid Sussex, many decking areas sit close to patio doors or planted borders, so tidy working matters. Once cleaned, timber can look lighter while it dries. If the boards need oil, stain or repair, we will say so plainly rather than pretending cleaning solves every problem.
