All sorts of wooden surface can become dirty and mouldy- Softwashing UK cleans them all.
Wood is such a versatile and stylish material, it is lightweight and easy to craft. As a natural product it can also harbour more than its fair share of organisms, which can lead to unsightly infections on the surface that cause damage. At Softwashing UK we spend a lot of our time cleaning wood- as it is such a popular material. We clean wooden cladding, benches, decking, fences, and sheds. We will clean all and any exterior wooden surface without exception, if it is isn’t listed here call us- we clean all exterior wood.
Wooden cladding is very common these days, on account of its sophisticated finish. Unfortunately the look of wooden cladding can be blighted by aggressive black stains, that are difficult to shift. Using high pressure washing to clean cladding risks damage. High pressure washing also fails to remove and kill other organic infectants that cause damage, blackening, and other discolouration to wooden cladding. At Softwashing UK- we use a low pressure water system to clean wooden cladding from ground level if possible, using extendible watering poles to reach up. This keeps the costs of working at height right down. When a cladding height exceeds thirty feet we have access to cherry pickers and scaffold, and all out operatives are fully trained, qualified, and insured to scale any height. We will use a softwash detergent blend to clean wooden cladding surfaces, removing the blackening, protecting it from unnecessary damage and keeping it clean for longer. The effects of softwashing on wooden cladding are often described as stunning and spectacular, as we remove blackening, and make wooden cladding look as good as the day it was installed.
Over the last decade or so decking has become hugely popular. As a rule it is easy to maintain, when compared to lawns or more diverse garden. It is also fashionable and convenient for guests and entertaining. The UK’s humid climate is not ideal for decking however, as when wet decking can quickly hatch and become infected with slippery algae that is very treacherous underfoot. For many the hazards of slipping on decking are all too familiar. High pressure washing is not suitable for cleaning decking as the water can penetrate beneath the surface, leaving damp behind. It also fails to kill he cause of the infection, so your decking will become slippery and dirty again sooner rather than later. High pressure jets can also damage surrounding plants and garden. At Softwashing UK we use only low pressure to clean decking, combined with our softwash detergent blend. This blend gently removes algae, and other organic and non-organic detritus on the decking, getting it from green to clean in no time! Sofwashing not only cleans but can last for up to three times longer than old fashioned cleaning methods. We get decking clean, and less slippery- in no time, all the time. In the garden and park environment Softwashing UK also cleans sheds, fences, wooden benches, even telegraph poles.
No matter what exterior wooden surface needs cleaning call Softwashing UK.
Wooden fencing, cladding, and garden structures can add natural beauty and character to your property. However, over time, these surfaces become weathered and discoloured due to algae, mould, moss, and general grime. That’s where Softwashing UK comes in.
We offer professional wood and fence cleaning using specialist soft washing technology — a safer, longer-lasting alternative to pressure washing that protects delicate timber.
Specialised Soft Wash Technology
Unlike pressure washing, which can strip the wood grain and cause splintering, our soft wash system uses low-pressure delivery and biodegradable cleaning agents. This allows us to clean deep into the wood’s surface safely, killing organic growth without damaging the timber.
Longer-Lasting Results
Our soft washing does more than just improve appearance. It removes and kills spores, algae, and bacteria at the source, helping to keep your wooden surfaces cleaner for longer and slowing the return of unsightly growth.
Moss, Lichen & Algae Control
We treat your timber, not just wash it. Our soft wash system includes a biocidal solution that eradicates moss, algae, and lichen, preventing regrowth and preserving the natural finish of your fencing, sheds, decking, and cladding.
Gentle on Surfaces, Tough on Grime
Timber is especially vulnerable to high-pressure cleaning. Our soft wash method is ideal for all wooden structures — it cleans effectively without damaging the surface or compromising the integrity of older or untreated wood.

Thank you very much! Paul Welsh2025-04-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve used Softwashing a number of times over the past few years to clean the exterior of our house, gutters and patio. Every time it has been a fantastic service, always going above and beyond, whether it’s attacking a stubborn rust stain or taking time to explain the process. We have recommended them to friends and neighbours and using them every year is testament to how happy we are with the work they do. Thanks! Andrew Covell2025-04-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The service was great, Gavin arrived on the dot of eight o’clock and he then talked me through the process before starting. He worked diligently using a range of different techniques to address the various issues. At the end the render looked like new! Would definitely recommend and will have them back again when it needs doing again! Peter Grant2025-03-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a director of and on behalf of Wardour Court Management Company and residents I wish to record our thanks to Gavin and his team. The property is a sensitive building constructed of Chilmark stone, it had not been cleaned for some time and was looking the worse for wear. They were all extremely efficient and professional as well as very pleasant and easy to talk to despite the difficulties they encountered, which included having to work 17 hours on one of the days. All the residents I have spoken to have expressed how pleased they are with the result, as are the directors of Wardour Court Management Co. We would happily use this company again and are equally happy to recommend them to others. Ann Grant Jewellery2025-03-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gavin and his team recently cleaned the Chilmark stone courtyard mews where I live. The stone was in dire need of cleaning and proved to be a very difficult job including one 17 hour day. Despite the difficulties he and his team remained pleasant, friendly and very professional leaving us with what I can only describe as a transformation ... our ugly duckling has become a swan. I can't thank them enough for their dedication and would happily recommend him and his company. City Stays sw Ltd2025-02-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of our properties, which is a rental, was a complete eye sore on the exterior surfaces, which needed rectifying before it was able to go back on the rental market. After ringing around different companies, Softwashing UK stood out and understood our requirements. Softwashing UK Soft wash cleaned 15 years' worth of bad organic staining from our K-Rend render, brickwork, and all rain water goods to the property. We honestly could not believe the results that were achieved. The render now looks like the day we had it rendered. On the day of the work ne carried out, the guys turned up on time and carried out the job respectfully and professionally. It's great to see good tradesmen still exist. We highly recommend the soft wash service they offer, and we will be sure to recommend Softwashing UK our friends and family's. James C2025-01-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very pleased with the job. Very professional.
