On the ground that means safe outdoor learning deck areas — matched to reclaimed York stone and honey-toned setts and the way LS29 weather ages a surface.
We're regularly regular villa driveway jobs on the Grove and Wells Road, so schools & nurseries in Ilkley aren't asking us to make a special trip.
School work has three constraints: safeguarding, calendar and slip risk — we plan around all three.
How we clean decking in Ilkley
Kills the algae layer that makes decking slippery and brings the grain back without stripping the timber. On reclaimed York stone and honey-toned setts we default to low-pressure soft-wash then brush-and-lance detailing.
