Deck Cleaning Redcliffs – Beat Moss and Mould on Timber Decks

Redcliffs, nestled along Christchurch’s stunning coastline, offers beautiful views and a relaxed lifestyle — but it’s tough on outdoor timber surfaces.
Thanks to salt spray, rain, and shady gardens, moss and mould thrive on decks here, making them slippery and dangerous if not properly maintained.

At Metro Water Blasting Christchurch, we offer professional deck cleaning in Redcliffs, helping homeowners restore the natural beauty and safety of their decks using eco-friendly, low-pressure cleaning methods.

Why Redcliffs Decks Get Dirty Quickly

Local Redcliffs conditions speed up deck deterioration:

  • Salt spray deposits fine particles that trap moisture.
  • Heavy rains feed moss, algae, and mould growth.
  • Coastal winds drive dust and sand into deck surfaces.
  • Shady gardens and trees create damp environments where organic growth thrives.

If not cleaned regularly, decks become:

  • Extremely slippery (major fall risk)
  • Greyed, stained, and weathered
  • Prone to splitting, cracking, and early wood rot

Our Safe Deck Cleaning Process

We use a professional, careful method for timber and composite decks:

  1. Assessment: We inspect deck materials (pine, hardwood, composite) and identify organic buildup.
  2. Pre-Treatment: We apply a biodegradable solution to kill moss, mould, and mildew at the roots.
  3. Soft Washing: Using low-pressure equipment, we gently rinse dirt and organic material without damaging the wood grain.
  4. Detail Finishing: We clean rails, stairs, joins, and edges for a consistent finish.

Real Client Story: Deck Transformation in Redcliffs

A client in Redcliffs reached out after their timber deck became dangerously slippery during a wet winter.
The timber was dark, saturated with moss, and showing signs of early rot.
After our eco-safe soft wash clean, the deck’s beautiful original tones were restored — and it became a safe, attractive space once again.

Now, they book a twice-yearly deck cleaning to keep it fresh and safe year-round.
