Decking cleaning work in Co. Meath
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.
The commuter belt works on a different rhythm to the city. Households here are usually out during the day and want a key-holder they trust rather than someone different each week — which means the work tends to be regular, and the client relationships tend to last longer than in the centre.
