Patio Cleaning in Durham
Durham patio cleaning specialists: treat, clean, seal. We handle sandstone, limestone, porcelain, concrete and block paving with lasting, even results.
07501060609Historic city centre little changed in 200 years, with Georgian buildings. means we see a real mix of patio materials across Durham - old concrete flags laid decades ago, newer Indian sandstone from the last big garden makeover, and block paving driveways that have crept round the side into a seating area. Each one needs slightly different handling.
Older concrete flags and reclaimed stone often have softer, more porous surfaces than modern porcelain, so what's safe pressure for one can etch or pit the other. We match the method to the material every time.
Call Trevor on 07501 060609 for a straightforward quote. We're fully insured, biocide trained, and happy to give honest advice on re-pointing or sealing even if it's not something we end up doing ourselves.
Indian Sandstone
- Indian sandstone is porous and slightly variable in hardness between batches, which means it can hold onto black spot lichen and algae stains more readily than denser stone. It responds well to biocide treatment followed by gentle steam or low-pressure cleaning rather than high pressure, which can strip the natural texture off the surface.
- Sealing is often worthwhile on sandstone once it's clean and dry, as it helps resist future staining and makes the next clean considerably easier.
What Actually Moves the Price
Sealing, re-sanding of block paving joints and re-pointing advice are usually priced separately from the base clean, since they depend on the condition we find once the surface is clean and dry.

Patio Cleaning in Durham — common questions
A pressure-only clean might cost less upfront, but if the lichen's back within a couple of months you've paid for a result that didn't last. Treating properly first means the clean actually holds, which works out better value over a couple of years.
