Restore The Appearance Of Your Decking & Cladding With Professional Exterior Cleaning

Over time, decking and exterior cladding naturally become affected by algae, moss, lichen and everyday environmental dirt, leaving outdoor spaces looking tired whilst creating slippery surfaces and reducing your property’s kerb appeal.

At Gosfield Exterior Cleaning, we provide professional decking and cladding cleaning using carefully selected pressure washing and soft washing methods tailored to each individual surface.

Whether you have timber decking, composite decking, timber cladding, uPVC, aluminium or fibre cement cladding, every surface is individually assessed to determine the safest and most effective cleaning process.

Based in Gosfield, Braintree, we provide professional decking and cladding cleaning throughout Essex and Suffolk, including Colchester, Chelmsford, Braintree, Witham, Sudbury, Ipswich and the surrounding towns and villages.

Is Your Decking Or Cladding Looking Tired?

Decking and cladding are continually exposed to the weather throughout the year.

Moisture, shade and airborne contamination create the perfect conditions for algae, moss, lichen and dirt to gradually build up on exterior surfaces.

As this contamination develops, timber can lose its natural appearance, composite decking can become slippery and exterior cladding may begin to look stained and neglected.

Professional cleaning safely removes this build-up, restoring the appearance of your outdoor spaces whilst making them safer and more enjoyable to use.

Whether you’re preparing your garden for summer, improving your home’s kerb appeal or simply carrying out routine maintenance, professional cleaning can make a dramatic difference.

Why Professional Cleaning Makes A Difference

Many homeowners believe all exterior surfaces can simply be pressure washed. In reality, every material responds differently to cleaning. Using excessive pressure on timber can damage the wood fibres, while some cladding materials are better suited to gentle soft washing.

At Gosfield Exterior Cleaning, every surface is individually assessed before work begins. We carefully select the most appropriate cleaning method based on the material, its age, condition and the level of contamination present, helping achieve outstanding results whilst protecting the surface being cleaned.

Our Decking & Cladding Cleaning Process

Initial Assessment

Every project begins with an inspection of the surface to identify the material, assess its condition and determine the type of biological growth or contamination present. This enables us to choose the most appropriate cleaning process for your property.

Professional Cleaning

Depending on the material being cleaned, we use carefully controlled pressure washing, professional soft washing techniques or a combination of both. Our aim is always to remove algae, moss, lichen and dirt as effectively as possible whilst protecting the integrity of the surface.

Optional Post Treatment

Where appropriate, we can apply a professional biocide treatment following the cleaning process. This leave-on treatment helps target any remaining biological spores whilst slowing the return of algae, moss and other organic growth. As biocides continue working after application, we'll always discuss whether a post-treatment is suitable for your property, particularly where children or pets may come into contact with treated surfaces.

Final Inspection

Once the cleaning has been completed, we carry out a final inspection to ensure every area has been thoroughly cleaned. Our aim is to leave your decking or cladding looking noticeably cleaner whilst treating every property with the same level of care and attention we would expect for our own.
