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 re-sand block paving after cleaning?

Yes, kiln-dried sand is brushed back into the joints as standard on block paving, which is what keeps the blocks locked and slows weed return.

Can you clean a conservatory roof at the same time?

Yes. Conservatory roofs, frames and finials are done from the ground with a soft brush and pure water, and it is far cheaper booked alongside another job.

patio cleaning in Solihull, what we actually find here

The housing round here. Larger detached and executive homes across Olton, Shirley and the B91 and B92 belt, plenty of block-paved sweeping drives, double garages and conservatories.

Why Solihull exteriors get dirty. Mature tree-lined roads drop a lot onto roofs and into gutters, and the big block-paved drives here show sand loss and weed growth long before the blocks themselves wear out.

Access and pricing. Bigger plots mean longer hose runs and more careful protection of planting and lighting, which we allow for in the quote rather than adding on the day.

Covering B90, B91, B92, B93, B94, including Shirley, Knowle, Dorridge, Olton, Hampton-in-Arden.

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.
