The idea that a pressure washer alone will sort a lichen-covered patio is one of the most common misunderstandings we come across in Redcar. Blasting black spot lichen off the surface just spreads live spores across the rest of the stone and into the joints - it looks clean for a few weeks, then comes back worse.

Proper treatment means killing the lichen and algae first with a biocide, letting it work, then cleaning the dead growth away. It takes longer than a straight pressure wash but it's the only approach that actually lasts.

Getting a patio treated and cleaned before the clocks change means it's ready for the first barbecue rather than still looking like it did in January. We can also advise on sealing at the same visit so it stays cleaner for longer through the next wet season.

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

Side Passages, Steps and Tight Access

Not every patio is reachable in a straight line from the road - side passages, steps down to a sunken garden, or a shared access path all change how a job's approached. We ask about this at quoting stage so there are no surprises on the day.

Longer hose runs or hand-carrying equipment through a tight passage can add a little time, which we'll factor honestly into the price rather than springing it on you afterwards.

What a Proper Clean Actually Achieves

The result we're aiming for is a patio that's genuinely even in colour, with the black spot lichen dead and gone rather than just faded, joints cleared of moss, and no streaking left behind from the wash itself.

That result comes from the order we work in - treat, wait, clean, rinse - rather than any single powerful tool. A biocide treatment followed by the right pressure for the material is what gets a lasting result, and sealing afterwards, where appropriate, helps keep it that way.

Coastal Exposure and Salt-Laden Air

Being roughly 0 miles from the coast, patios around Redcar pick up salt-laden air alongside the usual rain, which speeds up algae growth and can accelerate wear on softer stone like sandstone and some concrete finishes.

The combination of salt spray and damp sea air means these patios often need cleaning slightly more often than inland gardens, and sealing becomes more worthwhile as a way of protecting the surface between cleans.
