Decking cleaning work in Co. Dublin
Decking needs a gentler hand than concrete — too much pressure lifts the grain and ruins the board — so this is work where knowing the limit is the skill. It is seasonal, and most clients want it cleaned and treated in the same visit.
Dublin has the densest cleaning market in the country, and the most competition for it. Apartment turnovers, short-let changeovers and office contracts run all year rather than in season, which is what makes it possible to build a full week here without travelling far between jobs.
