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 about the cleaning method
Find out what equipment and cleaning method the provider proposes to use on your patio. The appropriate pressure and technique can depend on the paving material, its condition and the type of dirt or growth being treated.
Ask for an explanation of the proposed approach where you have concerns about a particular surface.
Ask how additional work will be agreed
Cleaning can sometimes reveal damaged joints, stubborn staining or other conditions that were difficult to assess beforehand. Ask how any additional treatment or repair work would be discussed and priced if it becomes advisable.
Extra work should be agreed before it proceeds so the revised scope and cost remain clear.
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.
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.
Check how paving joints will be treated
Pressure washing can disturb loose material within patio joints, depending on the paving and jointing system. Ask whether this is likely on your patio and whether any reinstatement is included within the quotation.
Understanding what happens to the joints can help you distinguish the cleaning work from any separate repair or re-jointing service.

I’m not one for big reviews but this was genuinely worth it. The patio had that tired look and was getting slippery, especially near the back gate.
They cleaned it properly and didn’t leave a pile of grit behind. Everything felt organised from the first message. It’s now a space I’m happy to use again.

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.

Had it done just before Christmas and it’s still looking clean now. No harsh smells and no mess left behind.
Really pleased with how neat it all looks.

I was expecting it to look a bit better, not completely different. The patio has come up so much cleaner and the colour is back in the slabs.
They worked carefully and didn’t disturb the joints the way I’ve seen with some pressure washing. It’s also made a big difference for safety, the slippery film has gone and you can feel the grip under your feet. The whole thing was straightforward from booking to finish and there was no mess left for me to sort out.

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.

We’ve got an older patio and I was worried it would end up looking battered if someone went at it too hard. The approach felt sensible and careful and the end result is lovely.
The slabs are brighter, the shaded area that was always green is now clean and it feels safer when it’s wet. They were friendly and respectful and didn’t leave muck all over the garden. It’s genuinely made the outdoor space feel usable again.

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.

Andrew and team turned up in proper grim weather and still got it done. They were respectful of the plants and didn’t blast water onto the fencing.
The patio looks fresh again and it’s not slippery underfoot.

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.

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.

We’ve got neighbours close by so I was worried about mess. They kept everything contained and rinsed down the area once finished.
The results are proper impressive and it’s made the garden feel usable again.

Really friendly from the first call and the price was clear. They cleaned right into the corners where the muck builds up.
Now it actually feels like a space we can sit in.

Andrew and team were spot on, turned up when they said and got straight into it. I liked that they didn’t just blast everything at full power, they adjusted what they were doing depending on the surface.
The patio had that grimy look and the shaded corner was always green, both have come up really well. It feels safer to walk across and it’s made the garden feel more usable. They cleaned up after and left it looking neat which I really appreciated.

Andrew and team were really considerate with my mum’s place. They kept noise down, moved the pots carefully and didn’t leave water everywhere.
The patio has gone from green and patchy to clean and tidy. Mum feels safer walking out there now which is the main thing.

I wanted it sorted before spring and they fitted me in without fuss. The patio looks brighter and the grime around the step has gone.
They worked neatly and didn’t splash dirty water up the doors which I’ve had before. Really pleased.

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.
