Patio Cleaning, Sealing and Re-Pointing Advice in Hartlepool

Patio cleaning and lichen removal across Hartlepool and the surrounding area. Sealing, re-pointing advice and decking add-ons available on request always.

We use a softwash biocide treatment first, low-pressure or steam cleaning second, and only bring higher pressure in where the surface can genuinely take it - never as the default. That order matters: pressure without treatment just scatters lichen spores across the rest of the patio.

We treat, clean and can seal patios across Hartlepool - sandstone, limestone, porcelain, concrete flags and block paving all covered, with a biocide treatment for black spot lichen and moss before any washing starts.

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 Hartlepool.

Getting a Patio Ready for Viewings or Sale

A clean, even-coloured patio makes a real difference to how a garden photographs and how it feels to walk round on a viewing. Black spot lichen and green staining read as neglect even when the rest of the house is well kept, and it's one of the cheaper things to put right before putting a property on the market.

We can usually turn a patio around in a day, and we'll work to a timeframe if you've got viewings or photos booked in.

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.

Handling a Patio with Mixed Materials

  1. 1

    Map the materials

    Many gardens combine sandstone, block paving and concrete edging - we identify each zone before starting so methods can differ across the same patio.

  2. 2

    Treat by zone

    Biocide strength and dwell time are adjusted per material rather than applied uniformly across the whole area.

  3. 3

    Clean by zone

    Porous stone gets gentler steam or low-pressure cleaning; denser porcelain or concrete can take a firmer wash where needed.

  4. 4

    Blend the finish

    We finish with an overall rinse so the different zones read as one consistent, even-coloured patio rather than a patchwork.
