My patio's pointing looks like it's crumbling - can you still clean it?

We can, but we'll always tell you honestly if the pointing is too far gone to safely pressure wash, since force on failing joints can make things worse. In that case we'd recommend gentler cleaning and flag the re-pointing separately rather than risk the joints.

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.

Do you work on patios in Washington regularly, or is it a special trip?

Washington falls within our normal 45-mile working area from our Washington base, so it's part of our regular schedule rather than an occasional job - which generally means more flexible availability for booking.

Patio cleaning prices in Washington typically run from around £4-£8 per square metre depending on material, condition and how much black spot lichen treatment is needed, with most standard-sized patios coming in as a fixed quote rather than an hourly rate.

1960s-70s new town development laid out as numbered villages/districts. means we see a real mix of patio materials across Washington - old concrete flags laid decades ago, newer Indian sandstone from the last big garden makeover, and block paving driveways that have crept round the side into a seating area. Each one needs slightly different handling.

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.

Office and Retail Frontages

Paved courtyards, smoking areas and entrance patios at commercial premises need to stay safe and presentable for staff, customers and visitors. We treat lichen and algae properly rather than a quick pressure blast that leaves it looking patchy within weeks.

We can set up a regular contract so it's dealt with on a schedule rather than only when someone notices it's got bad.

Patio Cleaning in Washington — common questions

From Victorian terraces to modern estates, we've cleaned patios across Washington and the surrounding 45-mile area we cover from our Washington base, in sandstone, limestone, porcelain, concrete and block paving.

A pressure-only clean might cost less upfront, but if the lichen's back within a couple of months you've paid for a result that didn't last. Treating properly first means the clean actually holds, which works out better value over a couple of years.
