Decking cleaning work in Co. Waterford
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.
A city county gives you the mix that is hardest to find elsewhere: enough density to fill a week without long drives, and enough variety that the work does not disappear when one type of client goes quiet. Regular domestic work forms the base, and end-of-tenancy and office contracts sit on top of it.
