Why Choose Our Patio Cleaning Services
Our approach prioritises effective cleaning whilst protecting the structural integrity of joints and pointing. We adjust pressure based on paving material; natural stone requires gentler treatment than concrete. Pre-treatment addresses stubborn lichen and staining.
Joint-protection techniques minimise mortar or sand loss. Clients appreciate visible results, minimal damage to joints, and guidance on maintaining a clean appearance between professional cleaning sessions.
Fair and honest rates reflect the care and expertise required for quality patio cleaning that balances thoroughness with preservation.

Our Patio Cleaning Services Process
We begin by assessing your patio, identifying paving type, joint material, and staining patterns. Pre-treatment is applied to lichen, moss, or stubborn marks where beneficial. Pressure washing proceeds with appropriate pressure and nozzle angles to protect joints.
Organic growth is removed systematically, with particular attention to shaded areas where algae accumulate heavily. Edges and details are thoroughly cleaned for complete results.
Optional biocide treatment slows regrowth if requested. The cleaned patio is inspected, and we discuss any joint repairs needed and maintenance routines to prolong results.
Patio Cleaning FAQs
Will patio cleaning damage pointing or joints?
Correct technique protects joints whilst removing surface growth. We adjust pressure based on joint material; lime mortar requires gentler treatment than cement joints. Some material loss is possible if joints were already damaged or loose. We assess joint condition during initial consultation and advise on any repairs needed before or after cleaning. Transparent quotes, backed by an established track record spanning 20+ years, reflect appropriate techniques.
Can you remove lichen from natural stone paving?
Lichen removal requires pre-treatment and patient washing, as lichen adheres tenaciously to stone. Multiple treatments may be needed for complete removal without surface damage. We assess lichen severity during initial consultation and set realistic expectations about achievable results and timescales required for thorough removal.
How do you clean patios without damaging natural stone?
Natural stone, particularly sandstone and limestone, requires lower pressure and wider nozzle angles than concrete. We adjust the technique to remove growth without eroding stone surfaces or damaging the texture. Pre-treatment reduces pressure requirements for stubborn staining. Experience with diverse stone types ensures appropriate cleaning without harm.
Will cleaning make patios less slippery?
Yes. Removing algae and organic growth significantly improves slip resistance, particularly in damp or shaded areas. Textured paving regains its grip once growth is removed. This safety improvement makes patios more comfortable and secure underfoot, especially beneficial for families with young children or elderly users.
How often should patios be professionally cleaned?
Most patios benefit from cleaning every 1 to 3 years, depending on exposure, shade, and usage. North-facing or heavily shaded patios accumulate growth faster. Regular cleaning prevents deep staining and excessive joint damage from root penetration. We provide maintenance recommendations during the work to help prolong results, offering value-focused pricing.
Do you offer re-pointing after cleaning?
We can arrange re-pointing if joints are damaged or missing after cleaning, though this is separate work requiring additional time and materials. We assess joint conditions during cleaning and discuss any repairs needed. Re-pointing restores structural integrity and appearance, preventing weed growth and further deterioration, backed by two decades of consistent, practical know-how.

Client Advice
Ask how water and runoff will be managed
Confirm suitable insurance cover
Ask whether the provider holds suitable public liability insurance for the proposed patio cleaning work. Insurance does not guarantee cleaning quality, but it can provide reassurance if accidental damage or injury occurs during the service.
If insurance is important to your decision, ask what cover applies and whether suitable evidence can be provided.
Ask about sealing separately
If you are considering having the patio sealed after cleaning, ask whether this is included or offered as a separate service. Find out which product would be proposed, what preparation it requires and whether suitable drying conditions are necessary.
Do not assume that sealing automatically forms part of an ordinary patio cleaning quotation.
Confirm the expected timescale
Ask approximately how long the patio cleaning is expected to take and whether any additional stages will need to be completed later. Jointing or sealing treatments, where included, may depend on suitable drying and weather conditions.
Understanding the sequence helps you know when the patio is likely to be ready for normal use.
Ask about stains and discolouration
Point out oil, rust, organic staining or other noticeable marks when the patio is assessed. Ask what improvement the provider reasonably expects from the proposed cleaning method, as some staining or permanent changes in the paving may remain.
Clear expectations are preferable to assuming that every mark can be completely removed.
Confirm the patio material
Make sure the provider knows what type of paving forms your patio before cleaning begins. Natural stone, porcelain, concrete and other materials can respond differently to pressure, cleaning products and treatment methods.
If you are uncertain about the surface, mention this and ask how the provider will determine an appropriate cleaning approach.

Andrew and team turned up in miserable weather and still kept it cheerful. They were careful with my pots and didn’t drag hoses through the beds like some do.
The patio has come up bright and even and the algae has gone from the shady corner. It’s safer to step out now and it looks like we actually look after the place. They left everything tidy and explained how to keep it looking good.

I’ve tried doing it myself with a little washer and it never looks right, just patchy and annoying. This time the whole patio looks even and properly clean, including the edges where the muck builds up.
They were polite and careful around the plants and didn’t leave water everywhere. Now it feels safer for the kids running out barefoot which is a huge win.

We’ve got family popping round a lot and I was always worried someone would slip on the damp bits. Since the clean it feels grippy again and it looks so much smarter from the kitchen window.
They were respectful with the garden and moved things carefully rather than just shoving them out the way. The finish is even across the whole patio, not patchy like when I tried myself. It’s one of those jobs you wish you’d done sooner.

I was mostly worried about the joints but they handled it carefully. The surface is clean without looking blasted and the shaded area isn’t slimy anymore.
They were on time, respectful and left no fuss behind.

Andy and team were a decent bunch and easy to have around. They didn’t rush in swinging the washer about, they took their time and worked carefully along the edges and steps.
The patio had loads of algae where it stays damp and that’s all cleared up now. It’s made the space feel clean again and it’s not slippery when you nip out with the bins. They rinsed down after and left the place looking tidy, not like a building site.

Lovely service from start to finish. Quick replies, clear price and no faff on the day.
They got into all the awkward bits around the step and the patio feels safer for the dog running about.

I’m usually sceptical with this sort of thing but it was money well spent. The patio had years of grime and green growth and it’s now come up smart.
They were polite and careful with our gate and paths. No lingering mess, just a cracking result.

We’re on a north facing garden so it always goes green. They removed the build up without making it look stripped.
Now it’s clean but still natural looking which is exactly what I wanted.

We’ve got kids running in and out so the slippery bits were doing my head in. It’s grippy again and the patio actually looks like it belongs to the house.

No messing about, just good work. The patio had that tired look and now it’s clean and even.
It’s also much less slippery which was the main reason I booked. They were tidy and respectful throughout.

Quick visit last week and no messing about. Andrew explained what he was doing and kept the pressure sensible on our stone.
Came up great without blasting the joints out.

Andy was friendly and kept me updated about arrival time which helped. The slippery patch by the back door has completely gone and the whole area looks much smarter.
They rinsed everything down at the end so it didn’t look like a muddy puddle.

Had it cleaned earlier this year and it’s been a game changer. The colour has come back and the whole space looks cared for.
They were polite and left no puddles or dirt tracked through.

Patio cleaning can produce dirty water containing loosened soil, organic material and other surface debris. Ask how runoff will be managed around drains, lawns, neighbouring areas and other parts of the property.
Mention any existing drainage problems so these can be considered when the provider plans the cleaning work.
