Our Process
We survey your patio surface type and condition, assessing the level of staining and choosing the most effective and safe cleaning approach.
Biological growth (algae, lichen, moss) is pre-treated with a specialist biocide to break down the organisms before pressure washing.
We pressure wash at the correct PSI for your surface — higher for concrete flags, lower and fan-nozzle for natural stone to avoid etching.
Detail cleaning of grout lines and edges is carried out to ensure a thorough, consistent finish across the entire patio area.
A final biocide treatment is applied to kill remaining spores and significantly slow the return of algae and moss growth.
Optional sealing is applied once surfaces are fully dry to lock in the result and extend the clean appearance for years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is pressure washing safe on natural stone patios?
Yes — we adapt our method for each surface. Natural stone like Indian sandstone or limestone is cleaned with lower-pressure soft-wash techniques and appropriate cleaning agents to prevent any etching or damage.
How do you remove green algae from patios?
We use a combination of pre-treatment biocides and pressure washing. The biocide breaks down the algae at a cellular level and the pressure wash removes it completely. We then apply a post-clean treatment to prevent rapid regrowth.
Can you clean in between patio slabs?
Yes. We detail-clean grout joints and slab edges using appropriate tools to remove built-up dirt, biological growth, and discolouration from all areas, not just the flat surfaces.
Do I need to be home during the clean?
Not necessarily — as long as we have safe access to the patio area and a water supply (outside tap), we can complete most jobs while you are out. We will confirm access requirements when you book.
How long before I can use my patio after cleaning?
You can walk on the patio within a couple of hours of cleaning. If we have applied a sealant, we recommend waiting 24 hours before placing furniture on it to allow the sealant to fully cure.
