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 about stains and discolouration
Ask whether cleaning products will be used
Find out whether the patio will be cleaned using pressure washing alone or whether additional cleaning products are proposed. Ask what any products are intended to achieve and whether precautions are required around surrounding materials, plants or other garden features.
This helps you understand the complete process before agreeing to the work.
Ask how water and runoff will be managed
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.
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.
Ask how the patio will be assessed
Ask whether the provider will inspect the paving, joints and surrounding areas before starting work. Loose pointing, damaged slabs, deteriorating surfaces or previous coatings can influence the cleaning method considered appropriate.
Point out any defects you already know about and ask how these areas will be treated during the service.
Check the patio before final sign-off
When the service is complete, inspect the patio with the provider and compare the work with the agreed quotation. Confirm whether jointing, sealing or any other agreed finishing stage remains outstanding and ask about anything you do not understand.
Keep the final invoice together with relevant product or aftercare information for future reference.

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.

Our patio had gone dull and a bit grimy, especially after weeks of rain. They got it looking fresh again without making a mess of the garden.
The difference from the kitchen window is massive and it’s safer to walk on too.

Andy was brilliant with my endless questions and didn’t make me feel daft. The lichen is finally gone and it’s not slippery anymore.
Left the place clean and tidy too.

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.

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.

No fuss service and they turned up exactly when promised. They moved the small bits of furniture carefully and put everything back.
It looks smart again without feeling overdone.

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.

First time I’ve paid for patio cleaning and I’m glad I did. Booking was simple and communication was clear.
The staining has lifted loads and the shaded corner isn’t that slimy green anymore. It feels like a proper usable space again.

Had them round over the summer and it made a massive difference for barbecues. The patio dried looking bright not patchy and they washed down the surrounding path before leaving.

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.

Andy was friendly from the first phone call and made fitting it in easy. On the day he explained why some areas needed a gentler wash.
The shaded corner that always stayed slimy is now clean and grippy. It’s made the garden feel looked after again.

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.

Ours had got to that stage where it looked permanently dirty even after a sweep. They turned up, had a proper look round first and then got on with it in a calm way.
The green film in the shaded area has gone and the whole patio looks brighter without looking like it’s been scrubbed to death. I liked how they kept everything neat and didn’t splash muck up the doors. It feels safer to walk on now which is the biggest thing for us.

We’d been putting it off for ages because the patio felt like a big job. They explained what would happen and got on with it calmly.
The algae in the damp corner has gone and it looks so much lighter now.

I’ll be honest, I booked it because I was fed up of apologising for the state of the patio when people came round. Now it looks clean and bright and you can actually see the colour in the paving again.
The work was done neatly and they kept things under control so it didn’t spray everywhere. They were polite and easy to chat to and the whole process felt simple.

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.
