Pressure Washing
Fence, Deck & Dock Washing
Fences, decks and docks weather differently from a house wall. Wood goes grey and grows algae on its shaded faces, composite holds a greasy film, and dock boards sit in constant splash. All three need low pressure and the right cleaning solution — high pressure splinters wood, raises the grain and leaves permanent wand marks.
What's Included
- Soft-wash treatment sized to the material — wood, composite or vinyl
- Algae, mildew and weathering lifted from shaded faces
- Railings, posts and under-rail areas, not just the walking surface
- Surrounding plants pre-wetted and rinsed down afterwards
What Does Fence, Deck & Dock Washing Cost?
Pricing depends on:
- Total square footage and number of rail sections
- Material — wood generally needs more care than composite
- How much growth has established, which drives dwell time
- Access and whether the dock is over water

Identify the material
Wood, composite and vinyl each take a different solution strength and pressure. We check before anything gets wet.
Pre-wet and protect
Plants and adjacent surfaces are wetted down so cleaning solution cannot concentrate on them.
Soft-wash and dwell
Solution is applied at low pressure and given time to work, rather than blasting the surface.
Rinse and inspect
A controlled rinse, then a walk-round with you to check the shaded faces where growth starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will pressure washing damage my wood fence?
High pressure will — it splinters the surface and raises the grain. We soft wash wood instead, using a cleaning solution at low pressure so the fibres stay intact.
Can you clean a dock over the water?
Yes. We use cleaning solutions appropriate for working over water and control the rinse so runoff is managed.
Will the cleaning harm the plants around my deck or dock?
No — surrounding plants are pre-wetted before we start and rinsed down afterwards, so cleaning solution never gets a chance to concentrate on them.
