How much does patio cleaning cost?

It depends on size, material and how established any lichen or algae is, but most standard residential patios typically come in between £80 and £450. We'll always confirm a fixed price after seeing the patio rather than quoting blind over the phone.

How long does a patio clean take?

A standard residential patio usually takes half a day to a full day, including biocide treatment, dwell time and the clean itself. Larger areas, heavier growth or mixed materials can take longer - we'll give you a realistic timeframe when we quote.

Do you clean block paving driveways as well as patios?

Yes, and it's a common combination since many driveways lead straight into a patio area. Block paving needs the joints cleaned as well as the block faces, and we can advise on re-sanding afterwards if the jointing sand has washed out or gone green.

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.

Patio Cleaning, Sealing and Re-Pointing Advice in Hetton-le-Hole

Fully insured patio cleaning in Hetton-le-Hole. Biocide trained, spill management trained, honest pricing. Decking and fencing add-ons available on request too.

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

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.

The Wider Area We Cover

Beyond Hetton-le-Hole itself, our regular coverage extends out to Seaham, Belmont, Bournmoor and Easington and similar towns a little further afield, all within a reasonable drive of our Washington base.

If you're coordinating patio cleaning across more than one property in this wider area - family homes, rental properties, or a small portfolio - we're happy to quote for several visits together.

How Far We Travel

We're based in Washington, and Hetton-le-Hole is around 6.1 miles south-east of us - well within the area we cover regularly, so there's no long-distance call-out premium to factor into your quote.

Being a regular working area rather than an occasional trip means we can usually offer more flexible scheduling here than somewhere at the edge of our patch.

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.

Small patio (up to 15m²)

typically £80-£150

Sandstone or limestone, moderate growth

around £5-£7 per m²

Straightforward access, light growth

typically at the lower end of our range
