Grip-safe composite deck cleaning in BD1
Film build-up, mould spotting and grip loss on composite boards.
You'll see composite across Bradford performing beautifully in sun and greening up in shade — same board, two conditions.
We work Bradford and the surrounding BD1 postcodes every week, so a Composite decking job here is a scheduled call, not a special trip.

When to book
Any month — composite handles cold cleaning fine; dry conditions just give a nicer finish.
Typical use: new-build decks, hot-tub surrounds, roof terraces, premium garden rooms.
What we use, and why
Composite-safe neutral cleaner plus a low-concentration biocide on shaded runs — no aggressive alkalis, no hot rotary passes.
Keeping it right
Sweep monthly, keep planters off the boards, and give the whole deck a soft-wash every 12–18 months in shaded gardens.
