Deck Cleaning Spreydon – Safe, Slip-Free Outdoor Living
A deck is often the heart of outdoor living — the perfect place for family BBQs, afternoon coffees, or kids playing in the sun.
But in Spreydon’s shady, tree-lined streets and Christchurch’s damp winters, decks easily become slippery, mossy, and dangerous if not properly maintained.
At Metro Water Blasting Christchurch, we offer professional deck cleaning services in Spreydon to restore timber, prevent slip hazards, and extend the life of your outdoor spaces.
Why Decks in Spreydon Get Dirty So Quickly
Spreydon homeowners face specific challenges:
- Shady gardens and tree cover keep decks damp longer after rain.
- Cool winters and frosts encourage moss and mould growth.
- Pollen and dust settle into timber grain during dry nor’west winds.
- Organic debris like fallen leaves trap moisture against boards.
Without regular maintenance, even quality timber or composite decks become unsightly — and dangerously slippery.
Risks of Leaving Decks Unmaintained
| Problem | Consequence |
|---|---|
| Slippery surfaces | Increased risk of slips and falls |
| Mould and algae growth | Structural weakening of timber |
| Grey, faded appearance | Decreased property value and appeal |
| Splintering and cracking | Higher cost for repairs or replacement |
Deck cleaning isn’t just cosmetic — it’s essential for safety and longevity.
Our Deck Cleaning Process
At Metro Water Blasting Christchurch, we clean decks gently but thoroughly:
1. Surface Assessment
We inspect your deck material (pine, hardwood, composite) and identify moss, mould, and grime buildup.
2. Biodegradable Pre-Treatment
We apply an eco-safe solution that kills moss and mould deep within the timber grain.
3. Soft Wash Cleaning
Using low-pressure equipment, we rinse away dirt and growth without gouging, splintering, or damaging your deck.
4. Finishing Rinse and Detailing
We clean balustrades, steps, under benches, and edge joins — ensuring every part of your deck looks fantastic.
