Garden Decking Cleaning Across Sussex
Garden decking at its best can really enhance the look of your garden while at the same time providing a practical, functional feature. However, the beauty of wood in your garden is a double-edged sword, as time and the elements ensure that the decking's initial beauty can quickly deteriorate and drastically limit its life-span if not properly maintained. Rain, shade, fallen leaves and general garden debris all encourage algae, moss and lichen to take hold, and once that happens decking can become slippery as well as unsightly.
Consequently, it's crucial that your garden decking is cleaned and maintained on a regular basis. Ultra Clean Solutions can effectively clean your garden decking with a gentle cleaning process that will remove dirt, algae, lichen, moss and other undesirables, without damaging the timber. We can then apply a high quality decking oil that will extend its life while also improving its look, whether you're in Brighton, Hove, Worthing, Eastbourne or a smaller village tucked away in the Sussex countryside.

Why Regular Decking Cleaning Matters
A clean, well-oiled deck isn't only about appearances, although it makes a real difference to how much you enjoy your garden. Regular decking cleaning also:
- Removes algae, moss and lichen that can make decking dangerously slippery underfoot.
- Helps protect timber from rot, decay and long-term weather damage.
- Restores the natural colour and grain of the wood, hidden beneath dirt and grime.
- Extends the working life of your decking, protecting your original investment.
- Prepares the surface properly for a fresh, even oil finish.

Decking Cleaning in Brighton & Hove
Brighton and Hove's gardens range from compact courtyard decking in the city to larger entertaining decks further out, and sea air combined with shaded corners means algae and moss build up quickly.

Worthing's coastal and residential gardens face similar conditions, with salt air and tree cover both encouraging moss and algae growth on timber decking. We regularly clean and re-oil decking across Worthing and the surrounding Adur and Arun areas.

Frequently Asked Questions About Decking Cleaning
How often should decking be cleaned and re-oiled?
Most wooden decking benefits from a professional clean and re-oil once a year, ideally in spring or early summer. Shaded, tree-lined or coastal decking in areas such as Brighton, Hove and Worthing can attract algae and moss faster and may need attention more often.
Is pressure washing safe for wooden decking?
Yes, when carried out gently and correctly. We use a controlled cleaning process suited to timber decking to lift dirt, algae, lichen and moss without damaging or splintering the wood grain, before applying a quality decking oil.
Do you apply decking oil after cleaning?
Yes. Once your decking has been cleaned and allowed to dry, we can apply a high quality decking oil to help restore its natural colour and protect it from the weather, extending its lifespan.
Can you remove algae, moss and lichen from decking?
Yes, our gentle cleaning process removes dirt, algae, lichen, moss and other growth from wooden decking, which also helps reduce the slip risk that untreated decking can develop, particularly in shaded gardens.
How much does decking cleaning cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the decking area, its condition and whether an oil finish is required. Contact us for a free, no obligation quote.
