Black spot lichen and green algae spread fast across Indian sandstone, limestone and concrete flags, and once it takes hold a garden hose won't shift it. The dark speckling that starts in the shady corner of a patio in Morpeth creeps outward every wet spell, and by the time it reaches the seating area most of it is bonded into the stone rather than sitting on top.
For patios around Morpeth that means sandstone and limestone get treated gently enough to protect the pointing, while block paving and concrete flags that can handle more get a proper deep clean including the joints, not just the flag faces.

The Wider Area We Cover
Beyond Morpeth itself, our regular coverage extends out to Ashington, Cramlington, Blyth and Ponteland 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.
Homeowners
Part of a Wider Garden Makeover
If a patio clean is one piece of a bigger garden project - new planting, a re-laid lawn, or a fresh fence - we're happy to fit around the rest of the work and time the clean so it's not undone by other trades traipsing across it afterwards.
We can also advise on sealing at this stage if the patio's being cleaned as part of a wider tidy-up, since it's the easiest point to protect a freshly cleaned surface before everything else gets finished.
Concrete Flags
- Older concrete flags, especially from the 1960s-80s, tend to be more porous than modern cast slabs and can show surface crazing after decades outside. We check condition before deciding on pressure, since heavily worn concrete can be more fragile than it looks.
- Concrete takes biocide treatment well, and a proper clean can bring genuinely tired-looking flags back to a much more even, presentable finish.
Matching the Method to the Material
Indian sandstone and limestone are porous and can be relatively soft, so they get treated with a biocide, left to work, then cleaned with steam or low-pressure washing to protect the surface and the pointing around each flag.
Porcelain is dense and far more resistant, so it can generally take a firmer clean, though we still watch the joints. Concrete flags and block paving sit in between - solid enough for a proper wash, but we check for spalling or loose bedding sand before going in, and clean joints separately where block paving has gone green between the blocks.
What Actually Moves the Price
Four things drive most of the variation in a quote: the total area, the material (porous stone generally needs more treatment time than porcelain), how established the lichen or algae is, and access - a patio reachable straight off a driveway costs less to work on than one down a narrow side passage with everything carried through by hand.
| Straightforward access, light growth | typically at the lower end of our range |
|---|---|
| Restricted access or heavy growth | typically £20-£80 more |
| Combined patio + block paving driveway | often quoted as one job, ask for a combined price |
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.
