Should I seal my patio after it's been cleaned?

Often, yes, though it depends on the material and condition. Sealing helps protect against future staining and slows new lichen and algae growth, but the patio needs to be fully clean and completely dry first - we'll only recommend it where the stone and pointing are in suitable condition.

Do you provide before-and-after photos of the work?

Yes, we can provide photo evidence of the patio before and after treatment and cleaning, which is particularly useful for landlords, letting agents, or anyone wanting a record for their own files.

Is there anything I need to do before you arrive?

Not much - clearing loose garden furniture, planters or toys from the patio surface helps us get started straight away, but otherwise we bring everything we need. Reasonable parking access near the property is helpful if space is tight.

Do you work on patios in Blaydon regularly, or is it a special trip?

Blaydon falls within our normal 45-mile working area from our Washington base, so it's part of our regular schedule rather than an occasional job - which generally means more flexible availability for booking.

It's not just about how it looks on the day either. Treating lichen properly rather than just pressure washing it means the result actually lasts, and a sensible sealing conversation afterwards protects the finish through the next few wet seasons.

Proper treatment means killing the lichen and algae first with a biocide, letting it work, then cleaning the dead growth away. It takes longer than a straight pressure wash but it's the only approach that actually lasts.

Patio cleaning prices in Blaydon typically run from around £4-£8 per square metre depending on material, condition and how much black spot lichen treatment is needed, with most standard-sized patios coming in as a fixed quote rather than an hourly rate.

Homes & businesses

Office and Retail Frontages

Paved courtyards, smoking areas and entrance patios at commercial premises need to stay safe and presentable for staff, customers and visitors. We treat lichen and algae properly rather than a quick pressure blast that leaves it looking patchy within weeks.

We can set up a regular contract so it's dealt with on a schedule rather than only when someone notices it's got bad.

Tree-Lined and Shaded Gardens

Gardens in Blaydon with mature trees or dense boundary hedging keep patios shaded for much of the day, which slows drying after rain and creates the damp, low-light conditions black spot lichen and moss thrive in. Falling leaves and sap can also stain the surface between cleans.

These patios often need the joints cleared as much as the flags themselves, since moss and algae take hold in the gaps first and spread outward from there.

Parking and Equipment on the Day

We bring everything needed in the van - pressure washers, steam equipment and biocide treatments - so there's usually no need for you to provide anything beyond reasonable parking access near the property.

If on-street parking is limited, a quick heads-up beforehand means we can plan around permit times or find suitable space rather than losing time on the day itself.
