Is decking cleaned the same way as a driveway?

No. Decking usually needs a gentler, surface-aware clean than open paving because timber boards and composite decking can mark if too much pressure is used.

Why decking gets slippery in Norwich

Decking often sits in shaded parts of the garden, close to fences, trees, planters or rear walls. In Norwich that means moisture lingers, algae builds up and the boards can start to feel slick after wet spells.

A careful clean can improve grip underfoot, remove the green film and freshen the overall look of the deck without treating it like a standard concrete wash.

Decking cleaning questions before booking

The best decking clean depends on the surface, shade, access and condition of the boards. These checks help GreenRun use the right approach for timber and composite decks without treating them like a driveway.

Surface condition

Tell us if boards feel soft, loose, rotten or raised. Cleaning can improve algae and grime, but damaged boards may need repair before a wash is sensible.

Timber or composite

Timber decking, composite decking, steps and handrail surrounds all need slightly different care, especially after a wet Norfolk winter.

Joined-up areas

If the deck runs into a patio, path or driveway, mention it before booking so the clean can be planned as one tidy outdoor area.
