Does your deck need a little bit of TLC?
Whether it needs a freshen up in time for spring or a full once over, Wat-er Blast provides high quality high pressure water cleaning and deck refurbishment services, bringing the life back into your outdoor sanctuary.
Our highly trained and experienced team come to you utilising our uniquely designed and engineered, custom built mobile units and cleaning equipment. Our scientifically developed Wat-er Blast chemicals in combination with our master techniques, we ensure efficiency and quality are always achieved.
Our Process
1. The first step in the rejuvenation process is to prepare the deck by ensuring we strip away any old membrane coatings or residues from previous sealant applications, preparing the timber for a deep clean.
2. A full chemical clean is then provided with a high pressure wash enabling the surface of the deck to be primed and ready for its new application of decking oil. Through this process we also remove any build-up of mould and the spores causing the mould to grow and inhibit the deck in the first place. Win-win in our eyes!
3. This is where your deck starts looking like its makeover is almost complete with the application of our tried and tested decking oils. We can provide a variety of oils and coatings including linseed and lanolin, but if you’re not too sure, our expert team will guide you through the selection process ensuring you get the best result to suit the personality of your house and its occupants. If you consider yourself to be a bit of a deck-spert, we welcome that! We can also reapply and provide membrane coatings such as aqua deck if this is your preference. For all the non deck-sperts out there read on to understand the nitty gritty details of the Wat-er Blast way of rejuvenation ...
Sanding vs Pressure Cleaning
Sanding is a great method of removing old membrane coatings and preparing your deck. However, high pressure water cleaning also provides great results and is more cost effective in terms of labour and equipment required for the job. The video on this page illustrates that pressure washing can be more than 70% less than the price for sanding and oiling a 40m2 deck. It is also easy for yourself or us to provide the ongoing maintenance of applying the next coating.
Membrane Coating vs Oiling
Oil based coatings such as linseed and lanolin oil are absorbed into timber whereas solid coatings leave a solid membrane on the surface, similar to a coat of paint. Whilst these coatings can initially provide a good appearance, timber outdoors continuously swells and shrinks causing a surface coating to flake and break away. This leads to more extensive deck maintenance in the future. We therefore recommend to all of our customers to use oils such as Deck Doc to treat their decks.
