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
Confirm the patio material
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.
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.
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 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 about patio aftercare
Once cleaning is complete, ask whether the patio requires any particular short-term or ongoing care. This can be especially relevant where jointing, sealing or another treatment forms part of the service.
Request guidance appropriate to the actual paving and products used rather than assuming the same maintenance methods suit every patio.

Quick and easy from booking to finish. The staining has lifted a lot and the patio looks smarter straight away.
They were careful around the garden bits and didn’t splash dirty water everywhere. I’d use them again.

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 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.

We’ve got kids running out with wet feet so the safety side mattered. The patio feels grippy again and it looks loads brighter.
They were polite, worked steadily and left no mess behind. I’d happily use them again.

I was mainly bothered about the joints because ours were a bit loose already. Andrew talked me through what was safe to do and what might need touching up after.
The cleaning itself was careful and the result is brilliant, especially in the shaded corner. No damage, no mess and it’s not slippery now which is what I wanted.

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 had that slick algae film near the back door and it was starting to feel risky for my dad. The difference after the clean is huge, it’s no longer slippery and the whole patio looks smarter.
They were careful around the flower beds and didn’t leave puddles or grit behind. It was handled in a calm, organised way and the results speak for themselves. I’d happily recommend them to anyone nearby.

Straightforward service and a clear price. The patio looks noticeably cleaner and the shaded corner is sorted at last.

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.

We had it done a few months ago and it’s held up well even with all the rain. The patio looks cleaner and the surface feels much less slick when you walk across it.
They were respectful around the garden and didn’t splash dirty water onto the doors or fencing. Communication was straightforward, pricing was fair and the overall job felt properly done. It’s taken a load of stress off us.

I’d tried doing it myself and just ended up with a patchy look. This time it’s properly even and the grime has shifted from the shaded bits too.
They turned up when promised and didn’t leave grit everywhere. Solid service.

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.

Andrew explained what would happen before he started and I liked that he didn’t promise magic. Still, it came up better than I hoped.
The stone looks clean without looking damaged and the joints haven’t been blown out. The worst bits in the shade are sorted and it feels much safer underfoot. They were tidy, polite and finished with a proper rinse down so the garden didn’t look like a mess afterwards.

I booked it because I was fed up of the patio looking tired in every photo. The difference is honestly brilliant, you can see the colour in the paving again and the stains have lifted loads.
The booking side was easy and I wasn’t left chasing updates which I appreciated. They worked neatly and didn’t leave gritty mess everywhere. It’s now a spot we actually use instead of avoiding. Even the little awkward strip by the fence looks sorted which surprised me.

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.
