The first step could not be more important
As the colder, darker days of autumn and winter are upon us, it's the perfect time to start preparing your outdoor spaces for the spring weather . Emily Green, an expert at Howarth Timber, has shared her top tips on how to safeguard your patio and decking from the potential damage caused by mould and rot during the winter months. Firstly, it's crucial to ensure your patio is clear of leaves and other debris.
Once your deck is clear and your furniture is safely stored or covered, you can move onto the satisfying task of power washing. Using a power washer or garden hose, remove any dirt or grime from your decking. To ensure you remove as much debris as possible, aim the sprayer directly at heavily contaminated areas. However, power cleaning is a skill that requires careful handling. If you're using a power washer, be cautious - they can easily damage the wood and make it more difficult to reseal.
