THE PROBLEM & SOLUTION
The British climate is notoriously tough on fencing & decking. Relentless rainwater, winter frosts, and high winds cause untreated wood to absorb moisture, warp, and develop wet rot from the inside out. Heavy storms can snap fence posts at ground level or rip panels out in a single gust, compromising your garden’s privacy and security.
Furthermore, standing water on decking boards creates a slick layer of green algae and moss – turning outdoor spaces into severe slipping hazards. Ignoring rotted timber doesn’t just ruin the look of your garden; it weakens the structural integrity, leading to dangerous collapses and far more expensive replacements down the line.
ClearLight Property Care provides end-to-end fencing and decking solutions designed to keep your garden secure, safe, and looking immaculate year-round. From swift storm damage repairs and single-panel replacements to custom-built timber decking, side gates, and protective weather-staining, Josh and the team deliver practical, high-quality craftsmanship tailored to your space and budget.

FAQS
What additional maintenance and painting services does ClearLight Property Care offer?
Beyond our core roof and timber care, we offer complete interior and exterior house painting, soffit and fascia painting, outbuilding and cabin repainting, groundwork, decorative gravelling, garden bordering, conservatory roof and frame valeting, and general home repairs. If you have a specific job in mind that isn’t listed, simply ask us!
Why is regular maintenance like conservatory cleaning, exterior painting, and groundwork important for my property?
Regular exterior upkeep prevents small issues from deteriorating into costly structural problems. Fresh paint seals timber and render against British rainwater, regular groundwork stops weed takeover and soil erosion, and conservatory cleaning prevents algae from ruining rubber roof seals and cutting off natural sunlight.
What types of exterior painting do you carry out, and how do you prepare surfaces?
We paint exterior masonry, uPVC, timber cladding, window frames, doors, soffits, fascias, sheds, and garden cabins. To ensure a long-lasting finish, we thoroughly prepare all surfaces first—cleaning away dirt and algae, scraping flaking paint, and filling or sanding wood so the weather-resistant paint adheres perfectly.
Can you help with garden groundwork, gravelling, and bordering?
Yes! We provide light groundwork, ground leveling, weed membrane fitting, and decorative gravelling for driveways, garden paths, and seating areas. We also install clean timber or stone bordering to define garden beds and keep your outdoor layout looking sharp and low-maintenance.
What does a full conservatory valeting service include?
Our conservatory valeting includes thorough manual cleaning of glass or polycarbonate roof panels, clearing all internal box gutters and valleys, wiping down downpipes, and detailing uPVC or aluminium frames to remove green algae, bird droppings, and stubborn streak stains.
What if I have an job that isn't explicitly listed on your website?
We pride ourselves on providing comprehensive property support across Hampshire, Dorset, and Wiltshire. Simply get in touch, describe what you need, and we will let you know how we can help.
Do I need to supply the paints, gravel, or materials for the work?
We can source all high-grade, weather-durable paints, decorative gravel, timber, and building supplies for your project, ensuring quality materials from trusted local suppliers. If you already have specific paints or materials you would like us to use, we are happy to work with those as well.
Do I need to be at home while you carry out exterior painting, groundwork, or general repairs?
No, as long as we have clear access around the exterior of your property, unlocked gates, and access to an outdoor water or power supply if required. We communicate clearly before, during, and after the job, providing photo updates so you can enjoy your day knowing your property is in good hands.
