Fence Cleaning St Albans – Restore Natural Timber Beauty
Your fence is more than just a boundary — it frames your property, sets the tone for curb appeal, and protects your outdoor spaces.
In the leafy suburb of St Albans, Christchurch, fences are constantly exposed to rain, frost, shade, and airborne grime.
At Metro Water Blasting Christchurch, we offer professional fence cleaning services in St Albans, restoring timber and painted fences to their original beauty while extending their lifespan.
Why Fence Cleaning Is Essential in St Albans
Local homeowners face unique fence maintenance challenges:
- Moss and mildew buildup from shaded, moisture-rich gardens.
- Dust and pollution from nearby busy roads settling on fence surfaces.
- Salt spray affecting painted fences in nearby coastal zones like New Brighton.
- Frost damage opening cracks in unprotected timber.
Without regular cleaning, your fence will quickly lose its appeal — and its structural integrity.
Common Problems Caused by Neglected Fences
| Problem | Consequence |
|---|---|
| Mould and moss buildup | Timber rot and weakening |
| Black and green staining | Lower property value |
| Splintering or cracking | Unsafe surfaces and faster deterioration |
| Flaking paint or stain | Increased maintenance costs later |
A small investment in regular cleaning saves big in replacement costs.
Our Fence Cleaning Process
At Metro Water Blasting Christchurch, we clean with precision:
1. Fence Assessment
We inspect your fence material (pine, hardwood, painted or stained timber) to determine the safest cleaning approach.
2. Eco-Friendly Pre-Treatment
We apply a biodegradable cleaning solution that kills moss, algae, and mildew at the root.
3. Soft Washing or Gentle Pressure Rinse
We clean at low pressure to lift grime without splintering wood or stripping paint.
4. Detailed Rinse and Edges
Posts, rails, and gates are carefully finished for a clean, consistent look.

A family in St Albans contacted us before repainting their weathered front fence.
Moss and mildew covered the slats, and the timber looked grey and tired.
