How much does patio cleaning cost?

Most patios are £110,£260 inc VAT. Porcelain costs slightly more than sandstone because it's slower and uses softer settings. Re-sanding adds £30,£60 depending on joint length.

Can you clean a porcelain patio without damaging it?

Yes. Porcelain is very dense, too much pressure can chip edges and ruin the matte finish. We use a soft wash + low-pressure lance and the colour comes back without surface damage.

Will cleaning kill my plants and lawn?

No. We use biocides at the right dilution and rinse with pure water. Borders are pre-wet to dilute any over-spray, and we cover sensitive plants where needed.

How often should I clean my patio?

Annually for most homes, usually April,May, before the entertaining season. North-facing or shaded patios may need it twice a year.

Do you re-sand the joints afterwards?

If the joints need it, yes, using either kiln-dried sand or polymeric jointing compound depending on what's already there.

Do you do the drive and the render on the same visit?

Yes, and combining them is cheaper than booking two separate visits because the setup is shared.

How long does a large block drive take?

Most take the best part of a day including re-sanding. We give you a realistic window when we quote rather than an optimistic one.

Why professional patio cleaning matters

A patio is the most-used outdoor surface most homes have, and the one that ages fastest. Algae, lichen and ground-in barbecue spills dull the colour and make the surface slippery from October to March. The right method depends on the material, porcelain hates pressure, sandstone tolerates it well, limestone needs care.

Identify surface
Porcelain, sandstone and limestone all need different settings, we set up before we wet anything.

Soft-wash biocide on green growth so it dies properly instead of just being scrubbed off.

Rotary for sandstone/concrete, lance + soft wash for porcelain/limestone.
4
Joints brushed through
Joints raked clear of weed roots and re-pointed or re-sanded where needed.
5
Rinse & tidy
Full rinse, furniture replaced, plants and lawn protected throughout.
