Patio Cleaning

Patios get slippery long before they look dirty. The black film on Indian sandstone or old concrete slabs is algae, and in a shaded North London garden it never really dries out. We clean the whole area, take the growth out of the pointing, and tell you honestly if the pointing needs redoing rather than blasting it out and walking away.

What you get

Mostly it is a safety job that happens to look good.

The reason people ring us about a patio in February is that somebody nearly went over on it. Algae on wet stone is genuinely slippery, and taking it off is the whole fix. That the stone comes back to its original colour is a bonus.

  • Indian sandstone, limestone, porcelain, concrete and crazy paving
  • Paths, steps and garden walls cleaned at the same time
  • Algae and moss taken out of the joints
  • Pressure adjusted to the stone rather than one setting for everything
  • A report on any pointing that has failed
Before and after comparison of a garden patio cleaned in North London
Service overview

Before and after on an ordinary garden patio.

This is a typical North London back garden: old slabs under a fence line, shaded for most of the day, black with algae to the point where the colour of the stone was not visible. Nothing was replaced. It is the same patio, cleaned.

The colour is still under there

Almost every patio we are asked to replace turns out not to need replacing. What people read as worn-out stone is usually a film sitting on top of it.

Shaded gardens go first

North-facing and anything under a fence or a tree holds moisture, and algae takes hold there long before it reaches the open middle.

Sandstone needs a lighter touch

Indian sandstone will scar if it is hit too hard or too close. It takes longer at a lower pressure, which is why we quote by the area and not by the hour.

How we do it

Patio Cleaning in Enfield, start to finish.

  1. 1

    We test a corner first

    Different stone takes pressure differently. We clean a small patch out of the way and show you the result before doing the rest.

  2. 2

    We work the whole area

    Slabs, joints, steps and the bottom of any wall that has gone green. Overlapping passes so there is no banding left behind.

  3. 3

    We tell you about the pointing

    Cleaning shows up pointing that has already failed. We say so and leave it to you, rather than making more work for ourselves.

Choosing the right option

Options that suit your property.

Every property is different. We tell you which of these actually suits yours, and say so when the cheaper option is the sensible one.

Patio clean

Best for: The main seating area

The slabs, the joints and the step edges, cleaned at a pressure suited to the stone.

Patio, path and steps

Best for: Whole back gardens

Everything hard-surfaced in the garden in one visit, which usually works out better than doing the patio and looking at the path afterwards.

Clean and re-point

Best for: Older patios with failed joints

Where the pointing has already gone, we can clean and then re-point so the joints do not simply fill with moss again.

Patio Cleaning questions, answered.

Not if the pressure is matched to the stone and the lance is kept moving. We always clean a test patch first so you can see the result before we commit to the whole area.
