Patio Cleaning in Gateshead
Sandstone, limestone, porcelain, concrete or block paving - we clean patios properly in Gateshead, treating black spot lichen at the root, not the surface.
A patio clean should leave you with stone that looks close to the day it was laid - even colour, no black spot lichen, joints free of moss, and no green slick across the edges where it stays damp. That's the standard we work to on every job in Gateshead.
Patio cleaning prices in Gateshead 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
Pubs, Cafés and Beer Gardens
Outdoor seating areas need to look inviting and be safe underfoot, and black spot lichen or algae on paving does neither. We can work early mornings or on quieter days to treat and clean without disrupting service.
We're fully insured and can provide before-and-after evidence of the work if that's useful for your own records or landlord reporting.
Commercial and Mixed-Use Patio Areas
Beer gardens, café terraces and courtyard seating around Team Valley Trading Estate and similar spots near Gateshead get heavy foot traffic, spilled drinks and food debris on top of the usual weather-driven growth, which can leave staining that a straightforward wash won't fully shift.
These areas also need to stay presentable and safe underfoot for customers, so black spot lichen and algae buildup on paving isn't just cosmetic - a slick patio surface is a genuine slip risk that needs dealing with promptly.
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.
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.
Covering Gateshead and Its Neighbourhoods
Gateshead covers a fair spread of ground, including Low Fell and Dunston, and we work right across it rather than sticking to one part of town.
Wherever your patio sits within Gateshead, distance within the town itself makes no difference to how we quote or schedule the job.
