For patios around Chester-le-Street that means sandstone and limestone get treated gently enough to protect the pointing, while block paving and concrete flags that can handle more get a proper deep clean including the joints, not just the flag faces.

Whether it's a small courtyard patio behind a terrace, a large sandstone patio on a newer estate, or a block-paved driveway-turned-patio, the cleaning approach in Chester-le-Street starts with the same question - what's it actually made of, and how bad is the black spot lichen.

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.

Block Paving

  • Block paving needs the joints treated as much as the block faces - jointing sand harbours moss and weed growth that spreads algae staining across the whole surface if left. We clean the gaps as a distinct step, not just an afterthought.
  • Where jointing sand has washed out or gone green and compacted, we can advise on re-sanding once cleaning is done, which helps stop the same growth coming straight back.

Cost Per Square Metre

For larger or irregular areas it's often easier to think per square metre rather than a flat fee. Porous stone needing biocide treatment generally sits toward the higher end, while denser materials in good condition sit lower.

Porcelain or concrete, light growth
from around £4-£5 per m²
Sandstone or limestone, moderate growth
around £5-£7 per m²
Heavy black spot lichen, any material
around £7-£9 per m²

Side Passages, Steps and Tight Access

Not every patio is reachable in a straight line from the road - side passages, steps down to a sunken garden, or a shared access path all change how a job's approached. We ask about this at quoting stage so there are no surprises on the day.

Longer hose runs or hand-carrying equipment through a tight passage can add a little time, which we'll factor honestly into the price rather than springing it on you afterwards.

Patio Cleaning in Chester-le-Street — common questions

It's a bit slower than a straight pressure wash, but it's the difference between a patio that looks clean for a fortnight and one that stays that way.

Assessment, biocide treatment, dwell time, clean, and a final check - that's the process behind every patio we work on in Chester-le-Street, adjusted to whatever material you've got underfoot.
