Late winter and early spring is when patios in Sunderland look their worst - months of damp weather have given algae and black spot lichen a head start, and the low sun shows up every dark patch. It's also the point where most people start thinking about the garden again.

Why does a patio in Sunderland go black in patches even when the rest of it looks fine? Nine times out of ten it's black spot lichen, not dirt, and it favours the shaded, damp corners of a garden - under trees, behind fences, on the north-facing side of the house.

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.

Covering Sunderland and Its Neighbourhoods

Sunderland covers a fair spread of ground, including Roker, Fulwell, Silksworth, Ryhope and Ashbrooke, and we work right across it rather than sticking to one part of town.

Wherever your patio sits within Sunderland, distance within the town itself makes no difference to how we quote or schedule the job.

Homes & businesses

Landlords and Property Managers

If you're managing communal patios, courtyards or paved areas across several properties, we can quote for multiple sites together and keep a simple record of when each was last treated and cleaned.

We're fully insured and happy to liaise directly with tenants to arrange access, so it's one less thing for you to coordinate.

Commercial and Mixed-Use Patio Areas

Beer gardens, café terraces and courtyard seating around Doxford International Business Park and similar spots near Sunderland get heavy foot traffic, spilled drinks and food debris on top of the usual weather-driven growth, which can leave staining that a straightforward wash won't fully shift.

These areas also need to stay presentable and safe underfoot for customers, so black spot lichen and algae buildup on paving isn't just cosmetic - a slick patio surface is a genuine slip risk that needs dealing with promptly.

Typical Patio Cleaning Costs

For larger or irregular areas it's often easier to think per square metre rather than a flat fee. Porous stone needing biocide treatment generally sits toward the higher end, while denser materials in good condition sit lower.

Medium patio (15-30m²)typically £150-£280
Large patio (30-50m²)typically £280-£450
Fencing clean add-onfrom around £3-£5 per linear metre
