Black Spot Lichen Treatment & Patio Cleaning, Middlesbrough

Patio cleaning across Middlesbrough: biocide treatment for black spot lichen, gentle cleaning for sandstone and limestone, plus sealing advice. Fully insured team.

Pressure washing alone can blast the surface clean for a few weeks, but it leaves the spores in the pores of the stone ready to come back within a season. We treat first, then clean, so the lichen actually goes rather than just getting knocked back.

Porous stone like sandstone and limestone soaks up dirt and organic growth differently to sealed porcelain or dense concrete, so we adjust pressure, chemical dwell time and rinse approach to the actual surface in front of us, not a one-size-fits-all wash.

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

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.

Add-On Services and Sealing

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.

Sealing (per m², after cleaning)
typically £6-£12 per m²
Block paving joint re-sanding
typically £3-£6 per m²
Decking clean add-on
from around £4-£7 per m²
Fencing clean add-on
from around £3-£5 per linear metre

The Wider Area We Cover

Beyond Middlesbrough itself, our regular coverage extends out to Ingleby Barwick, Eaglescliffe, Yarm and Redcar and similar towns a little further afield, all within a reasonable drive of our Washington base.

Schools, Nurseries and Community Buildings

Outdoor paved areas at schools and community buildings near TeesAMP (Advanced Manufacturing Park) see heavy footfall and need to stay slip-safe, particularly around entrances and play areas. We treat and clean thoroughly, and we're happy to work outside school hours or during holidays.

We're spill management trained and careful with chemical use around areas where children play, using the minimum needed to do the job properly.

Patio Cleaning in Middlesbrough — common questions

We're upfront about pricing from the start, so there's no surprise cost for doing it right.

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.

We look after you and your property, on every job across Middlesbrough and the surrounding area.
