Family-run exterior cleaning in Skipton and across West Yorkshire
Weathered, green-tinged timber thoroughly cleaned, stripped of slippery algae, and restored to a rich, natural wood finish.
Timber decks, pergolas and fencing take a proper beating from the British weather. Rain, damp conditions and regular exposure to the elements can leave timber looking dull and weathered, while algae, moss and ingrained dirt gradually build up across the surface. As moisture remains within the timber, it can also contribute to deterioration and leave decking particularly slippery underfoot.
For timber cleaning in Skipton, we take a careful approach designed to clean the wood without unnecessarily damaging the surface. Replacement can be expensive and, where the timber is still in good condition, a professional clean and treatment can often give it a new lease of life.
We start by clearing away loose debris before applying a dedicated wood cleaning treatment to break down organic growth, algae and ingrained grime. The timber is then gently washed down using a suitable pressure, helping to clean the surface without unnecessarily damaging or splintering the grain.
Once the timber has been cleaned and allowed to dry, we can also apply a suitable protective oil or stain where required. This helps enhance the appearance of the wood while providing additional protection against the damp, rain and changing weather conditions common across Skipton & Yorkshire.
Grooves and hidden corners are scraped, treated, and cleared of slick organic build-up.
Softwood and hardwood require a controlled pressure and specialist nozzles to clean thoroughly without tearing the wood fibers.
Timber must be completely dry right through before applying oils or stains.
A nourishing oil or durable stain is brushed in to restore natural colour, nourish the timber, and repel water.
The transformation from green, blackened timber to clean, rich wood completely revitalises your outdoor space.
Removing slimy moss and algae eliminates dangerous slip hazards, making your decking safe to walk on year-round.
Regular cleaning and re-oiling prevents rot, stops splitting, and adds years to the life of your timber.
Wood cleaning and maintenance works brilliantly for commercial venues. Pub beer gardens, hotel terraces, park boardwalks, and outdoor restaurant seating can all be restored to a safe, welcoming standard without the huge expense of replacing timber structures. Out-of-hours and weekend working is no trouble at all to minimise disruption to your patrons.

It certainly can if done improperly. That is why we use tailored wood-cleaning solutions combined with low-pressure, fan-jet washing to lift dirt and algae gently without gouging, stripping, or splintering the timber.
Yes, we clean all types of composite decking using specialist detergents that remove surface grime, mildew, and stubborn spots without discolouring or scratching the synthetic boards.
It depends on the weather, but timber usually needs 24 to 48 hours of dry conditions after a wash before any stain or oil can be brushed in properly.
We recommend a deep clean and protective top-up every 12 to 18 months to stop algae taking hold and to keep the wood protected against damp and UV fade.
