At Atlantic Clean, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality exterior cleaning services to help enhance the appearance and longevity of your property. One of our most recent projects involved a complete decking restoration for a holiday let caravan located in beautiful Cornwall. The decking had suffered from years of exposure to the elements, leaving it looking weathered, dull, and covered in algae. Our team was called in to restore the decking to its former glory and ensure it looked inviting for guests.
Here’s a closer look at the steps we took to bring this decking back to life:
Step 1: Pressure Washing to Remove Dirt and Debris
The first step in our restoration process was using our high-pressure washing equipment to thoroughly clean the decking. Over time, dirt, grime, and natural debris can build up on exterior surfaces, which is especially evident in high-traffic areas like a caravan decking. Our powerful pressure washing removed all this built-up grime, dirt, and surface debris, providing a clean canvas for the next stages of the restoration.
Step 2: Chemical Clean to Eliminate Algae and Mould
While pressure washing works wonders for general dirt and debris, the decking also had significant algae growth. Algae can cause wood to become slippery and discolored, especially in damp environments like Cornwall. To tackle this, we applied a chemical cleaner specifically designed to remove algae and mould from wood surfaces. This treatment not only removed the algae but also helped prevent future growth, making the decking safer and more appealing.
Step 3: Sanding the Decking to Smooth the Surface
After the wood was thoroughly cleaned, the next step was to sand the decking. Sanding removes any remaining surface imperfections, rough spots, and weathered areas, ensuring a smooth and even surface. This step also prepares the wood for staining, allowing the product to adhere better and last longer.
Step 4: Staining with @WoodcareUK Natural Oil
To complete the restoration, we used @WoodcareUK’s Natural Oil Stain to finish the decking. This high-quality, eco-friendly oil penetrates the wood, providing protection against the elements while enhancing the natural grain of the wood. The stain brings out the rich, warm tones of the wood and helps preserve it from further wear and tear, ensuring the decking stays looking great for longer.
The Final Result: A Beautiful, Restored Decking Area
The result of our hard work was a stunning, like-new decking area that looked vibrant and inviting. The pressure washing, chemical cleaning, sanding, and staining all worked together to restore the decking to its full potential. Not only does it now look beautiful, but it also offers a safe, clean space for guests to enjoy their holiday experience.
