Limitations & Specialist Requests

To protect your property, we work within safe parameters:

• Extremely high-pressure jets are avoided on timber to prevent furring, gouging, or water ingress.
• Severely rotted, cracked, or loose panels may not be cleanable; repairs or replacement could be advised.
• Lead-based paints and heritage coatings require a specialist approach; we can discuss options and refer if needed.
• We do not remove deep-set tannin bleed or old creosote staining, which are typically cosmetic and within the wood.
• Oil or tar contamination, graffiti, and chemical residues may need a bespoke quote.
• Elevated or shared-boundary fencing may require neighbour permission or safe access planning.
• We don’t undertake structural fence repairs as part of cleaning; see our network for recommended partners.

If your site falls into a specialist category, we’ll assess, explain the options, and provide a tailored plan.

Pricing Guide

Every fence is different, so the price depends on:

• Length and height of fencing; number of panels and style (closeboard, lap, slatted, trellis)
• Condition: level of mould and algae, traffic film, and staining
• Access: hose and power availability, rear garden access, shared boundaries
• Obstacles: dense planting, delicate shrubs, or tight passageways that require extra care
• Materials: timber, composite, or painted finishes
• Add-ons: stain prep steps, panel refresh extras, debris sweep-up, adjacent surface cleaning
• Frequency: one-off clean or part of ongoing garden maintenance

If you’re comparing a fence cleaning price per panel, we can structure a quote that way where appropriate. For transparent pricing tailored to your property in North London, visit our Pricing page or submit details via Get A Quote.

FAQs

Q: Will pressure washing damage my wooden fence? A: We avoid harsh, high-pressure blasting on timber. Our approach uses controlled, lower-pressure washing and soft-brush agitation to protect the wood while achieving a clean result.

Q: How soon can I stain after cleaning? A: Allow the fence to dry fully—timings vary with weather and exposure. We’ll advise an estimated drying window on the day so you can prepare fences for staining effectively.

Q: Do you clean painted or composite fences? A: Yes, we adjust techniques for painted finishes and composite panels. We’ll test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure no coating lift or discolouration.

Q: What should I do before you arrive? A: Please clear access to the fence line, move delicate pots or furnishings where possible, and let us know about any plantings you’d like us to protect. Confirm water and power access if available.

Q: Can you remove all stains and discolouration? A: Most surface grime, mould and algae, and traffic film clean away well. Deep-set weathering, UV fade, resin bleed, or historic oil/creosote marks may remain visible after cleaning.

Q: Do you operate in blocks of flats or commercial sites? A: Yes. We work for managing agents, landlords, and businesses in North London and across N. We can coordinate with site managers and provide RAMS on request.

Q: What if the fence is unstable? A: If panels are loose or rotten, we’ll flag it during assessment. Cleaning may not be safe or effective until repairs are made. We can recommend next steps.

Q: Can you combine fence cleaning with other services? A: Absolutely. Many clients pair fence washing with patio cleaning, hedge trimming, or a complete garden maintenance visit.
