Patio cleaning

    Patio cleaning before and after photos

    Indian sandstone, natural stone and concrete patios cleaned without scarring the surface. Soft-washing breaks down black spot and algae so the finish stays even and the patio stays clear far longer than a straight pressure wash.

    Patio cleaningAlresford

    Enclosed sandstone patio and drainage channel

    Ingrained grime lifted from an enclosed patio, with the drainage channel cleared too, in Alresford.

    Enclosed patios hold moisture and dry slowly, so dirt builds up evenly across the whole area. This Alresford stone was treated with a softwash product and rinsed at controlled pressure, and the drainage channel was cleared so surface water runs away properly.

    Patio cleaningWinchester

    Indian sandstone patio beside planted border

    A shaded sandstone patio next to a hydrangea border cleaned back to its natural tones in Winchester.

    Borders and overhanging planting keep a patio damp, so algae takes hold quickly along the edges. In Winchester the slabs were softwashed with a specialist product, left to dwell, then rinsed gently with the planting protected so the stone colour returned without scarring.

    Patio cleaningAndover

    Garden patio slab clean

    Heavily soiled garden slabs cleaned back to a uniform tone in Andover.

    Shaded garden areas hold moisture and grow algae fastest. In Andover these slabs were treated with a softwash product, left to dwell so the growth broke down properly, then rinsed evenly, with the joints checked afterwards to make sure nothing had been washed out.

    Patio cleaningEastleigh

    Natural stone patio restoration

    A green, slippery stone patio returned to a safe, even finish in Eastleigh.

    Algae on stone is a slip hazard as much as a cosmetic problem. In Eastleigh, the treatment neutralises the growth rather than washing the surface layer off, so the patio stays clear and safe underfoot for far longer than a simple pressure wash would manage.

    Patio cleaningRomsey

    Indian sandstone patio clean

    Black spot and algae removed from a sandstone patio without damaging the stone in Romsey.

    Natural sandstone is porous and scars easily under a pressure lance. This Romsey patio was softwashed with a dwell time long enough to break down the organic growth, then rinsed gently so the riven texture and the pointing between slabs were left untouched.

    Patio cleaning questions, answered

    Cost depends on the size of the patio, the stone type and the level of black spot or algae present. We discuss your patio with you and, where possible, provide your price over the phone, so it reflects your patio rather than a rough square metre rate.

    Yes. Black spot lichen sits within the pores of the stone, so it needs a specialist product with enough dwell time to break it down. Blasting sandstone with high pressure scars the surface and often leaves the staining behind.

    Softwashing is the safer option for porous stone. Low pressure and a controlled treatment lift the growth without eroding the riven texture, damaging the pointing between slabs or forcing water into the joints.

    Yes. Slipperiness comes from the algae film on the surface. Neutralising that growth rather than displacing it restores grip, and the patio stays safer underfoot for considerably longer.

    We rinse down and protect surrounding planting before any cleaning product is applied, and rinse again afterwards. Access, drainage and planting are all confirmed with you before work starts.
