Professional Decking Cleaning
Decking can quickly become dirty, slippery and discoloured as dirt, algae and organic growth build up on the surface.
At Hedon Exterior Cleaning, we provide professional decking cleaning across Hull and East Yorkshire for both timber and composite decking.
Unlike driveways and patios, decking requires a more controlled approach. We assess the material, condition and level of contamination before choosing an appropriate cleaning method to achieve the best result without unnecessarily damaging the surface.
Whether your decking simply needs a good clean or is the first stage of a larger restoration, we'll help you determine the right approach.
From Cleaning to Full Restoration
Sometimes cleaning is all your decking needs. Where timber is tired, faded or weathered, we can also prepare and refinish it to restore its colour and help protect the wood.
Types of Decking We Can Clean
From small garden decks to larger outdoor entertaining areas, we can clean a range of decking surfaces and surrounding timber features.
Timber Decking
Cleaning for traditional softwood & hard wood decking affected by dirt, algae and weathering.
Composite Decking
Careful cleaning to remove surface dirt, algae and organic growth from composite decking.
Grooved Decking
Thorough cleaning of grooved boards where dirt, algae and debris commonly accumulate.
Steps & Timber Features
Cleaning for decked steps, edges, balustrades and associated timber features.
Our Decking Cleaning Process
1. Inspect
We assess the decking material, condition, existing coatings and level of contamination before deciding how it should be cleaned.
2. Prepare
Loose debris is removed and surrounding areas are prepared before cleaning begins.
3. Clean
The decking is carefully cleaned using a method and pressure appropriate for the material and condition of the surface.
4. Treat — where required
Where appropriate, a treatment can be applied to help deal with remaining organic growth and slow its return.
Safe Cleaning for Timber & Composite Decking
Decking isn't the same as cleaning concrete or paving.
Too much pressure, the wrong nozzle or poor technique can damage timber fibres and leave the surface rough or uneven. Composite decking also needs to be cleaned according to its condition and manufacturer guidance.
That's why we don't use a one-method-fits-all approach. We assess the decking first and adjust the cleaning method to suit the surface in front of us.
The aim is simple: get the decking properly clean without causing unnecessary damage.
Decking Cleaning Results

Decking cleaning: BEFORE & AFTER
Does Your Decking Need More Than a Clean?
Not every deck needs restoring. Sometimes a thorough professional clean is all that's needed to remove dirt, algae and organic growth and bring the surface back to life.
But if the timber is faded, weathered, patchy or has lost its previous finish, cleaning may only be the first step.
Once the decking is clean, we can properly assess its condition and, where appropriate, continue with our decking restoration service — preparing the timber and applying a suitable protective finish to restore its appearance and help protect it from the weather.
Just Needs Cleaning?
Cleaning removes dirt, algae and organic growth, improving the appearance of your decking.
Needs a Little More?
If the timber is faded, weathered or has lost its previous finish, restoration may be the next step.
More Than Just Decking Cleaning
Depending on the condition of your decking, additional treatments and maintenance may be recommended.
Biocide Treatments
Where appropriate, treatment can help deal with remaining organic growth and slow regrowth.
Minor Repairs
Small maintenance issues may be identified while the decking is being cleaned.
Restoration & Protective Finishes
Weathered timber can be prepared and refinished through our dedicated decking restoration service.

Decking Cleaning FAQs
Is pressure washing safe for decking?
Decking can be pressure washed in some circumstances, but the pressure and technique need to suit the material and condition. Excessive pressure can damage timber fibres, which is why we assess the decking before deciding on the cleaning method.
Can you clean composite decking?
Yes. We clean both timber and composite decking, adjusting the cleaning method according to the surface and its condition.
Can you remove algae from decking?
In many cases, yes. Cleaning removes surface contamination and, where appropriate, treatment can be used to help deal with remaining organic growth.
Will cleaning make my decking look new again?
Cleaning can dramatically improve dirty decking, but it cannot reverse fading, weathering or deterioration of the timber itself. Where the decking needs more than cleaning, decking restoration may be the better option.
What's the difference between decking cleaning and restoration?
Decking cleaning focuses on removing dirt and organic growth. Restoration goes further by preparing weathered timber and applying a suitable protective finish.
Do I need to have my decking restored after cleaning?
No. If cleaning produces the result you want, there's no need to restore it. We'll only recommend additional work where we believe it would genuinely benefit the decking.
Can you clean grooved decking and decked steps?
Yes. We can clean grooved decking, steps, edges and associated timber features as part of the job, provided they are suitable for cleaning.
Do you use chemicals when cleaning decking?
Where appropriate, specialist cleaning or biocide treatments may be used alongside mechanical cleaning. The products and methods used will depend on the decking material, condition and type of contamination.
How long does decking cleaning take?
This depends on the size, condition, material and level of contamination. We'll explain what's involved when providing your quotation.
Do I need to be home?
Usually not, provided we have suitable access and any arrangements have been agreed beforehand.
