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 charge extra for coming into Leicestershire?

No. LE10 is inside the normal round, so there is no travel charge or callout fee.

Do you cover Burbage, Barwell and Earl Shilton?

Yes, all three are covered on the same terms as Hinckley itself.

Just over the border, Leicestershire homes covered with the same insured, ground-based kit.

patio cleaning in Hinckley, what we actually find here

The housing round here. Leicestershire border town with Victorian terraces near the centre, large post-war semis, and modern estate housing spreading out towards Burbage and Barwell.

Why Hinckley exteriors get dirty. Plenty of long, open driveways and rendered frontages on the newer parts of town, and mature planting through Burbage that keeps gutters filling and roofs mossy.

Access and pricing. Just over the county line but still inside the normal round, so LE10 is priced exactly the same as a Coventry job.

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.
