How We Service Your Outdoor Entertaining Space
From the initial quote to the final check, our local crew works through four straightforward steps to leave you with solid, clean decking and tidy gardens.

We inspect your deck for cupping boards, loose fixings, soft spots, and subframe moisture, giving you an honest appraisal before starting work.
2. Board Repairs & Fastener Securing
Before washing, we swap out split boards, secure loose planks, reset popped screws, and sand back rough splinters on handrails and steps.
3. Controlled Timber Cleansing
Using calibrated pressure equipment and timber-safe cleaning techniques, we gently lift grey oxidation, dirt, and organic mould from the wood grain.
4. Tidy-Up & Future Care Advice
We rinse surrounding footpaths, clear all work debris from garden beds, and advise you when your timber will be dry enough for new stain or oil.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Deck Maintenance
Find clear answers below regarding preparation, maintenance intervals, safety measures, and how our local team restores timber surfaces.
Yes, using aggressive high pressure at close range will gouge the softwood fibres, create severe splintering, and leave visible striping across your timber boards. Inside Outside Property Care uses carefully calibrated low-pressure washdown methods combined with safe cleaning solutions. This lifts ground-in dirt, moss, and surface grey weathering without harming the wood grain or structural integrity.
Due to coastal humidity, frequent rainfall, and intense UV exposure, we recommend washing and checking your deck every 6 to 12 months. Regular maintenance stops moss and lichens from establishing deep roots inside the timber, prevents slippery surfaces, and protects subframe joists from holding excess moisture that accelerates early wood rot.
Yes. As part of our comprehensive handyman and property care services, our team replaces rotten or warped planks, resets protruding nails, and drives in loose deck screws before commencing any washing. This means you do not have to hire a separate carpenter just to sort out a handful of loose boards before your outdoor area gets maintained.
No, you do not need to stay home as long as our mobile team has clear exterior access to the deck, an external tap connection, and any pets are securely kept inside. All our staff members have completed formal National Police Checks, and our $10 Million public liability insurance ensures your property is fully protected from start to finish.
