The service

What it is

Decks collect dirt, pollen, leaf stain and, in shaded spots, a green film that turns slippery when wet. Cleaning one is mostly about using the right method for the material: what is safe on composite is not the same as what softwood or hardwood can take.

Worth having ready

The material is the important part: composite, pressure-treated softwood, hardwood or painted. Add the rough size, how many steps and levels, whether there is an outdoor tap nearby, and whether the boards are sound — loose or rotten boards are a repair question, not a cleaning one.

Questions about deck cleaning

Ask the cleaner about anything specific to your property before you accept.

Will the deck look new again?

It will look clean, which is not the same thing. Greying from sun exposure and stains that have gone into the wood usually need sanding, staining or sealing — work beyond cleaning. A cleaner can tell you which of the two you are looking at.

Does this include sealing or staining?

No. This is cleaning only. If you are planning to seal or stain afterwards, mention it, because the deck needs to dry fully first and that affects the timing.

How much does this cost?

There is no fixed price. It depends on the property, its condition, the scope, your location and the professional. The cleaner who takes your request discusses the price with you before anything is booked.

Can I ask for a specific cleaner?

Yes. You can send a request straight to a professional whose profile you have seen. If they are not available, the request falls back to cleaners near you.

Does every cleaner offer this service?

No. Each professional lists the types of cleaning they take on. Requests are only matched to cleaners who offer this service and cover your area.

Can I add extra work to the request?

Describe it in the notes when you send the request. The cleaner confirms what they include and whether they can do the extra work.
