Your patio, the way it looked the year it was laid.
A patio is an investment in how you live — it's where summer evenings happen. When it turns slippery, green and tired, you stop using it. We change that in a single visit.
We clean every common patio material across the south coast: Indian sandstone, limestone, porcelain, granite, slate, concrete slabs and reconstituted stone. Each one needs a slightly different approach, and we know the differences.
The standard job includes a professional pre-treatment to kill algae and lichen, a controlled clean using the correct pressure for the material, a thorough joint clear of moss and weeds, and a final rinse. Where joints need it, we re-fill with kiln-dried sand or recommend a proper pointing compound.
Customers usually book us when their patio has 'just lost its colour' — what they're actually seeing is a thin film of organic growth across the entire surface. Lift that off, and the original stone underneath is almost always still beautiful.

Why a tired patio becomes a damaged patio.
Patios deteriorate in stages. Catching it early is the difference between a one-day clean and a much bigger project a year later.
Slippery in wet weather
Algae and lichen build a near-invisible film that becomes treacherous when wet — particularly on shaded patios and around water features.
Moss prises stones apart
Moss roots expand joints, lift slabs and cause uneven surfaces that trip people and pool water.
Stains become permanent
Sandstone in particular absorbs barbecue grease, wine and rust marks. Left untreated for years, some stains can no longer be lifted.
A clear, methodical system — built around your time and your property.
Inspection
We assess the surface, age, material and condition on site or from your photos — and quote in writing.
Preparation
Plants, drains and fragile fixtures are covered. Loose debris is cleared before cleaning begins.
Treatment
The correct chemistry and pressure for the surface — biocides, detergents or pure cleaning where appropriate.
Verification
A controlled rinse, inspection in natural light, and a walk-around with you to check every metre.
Completion
Site left spotless. Aftercare advice and a clear written invoice.
The benefits you'll actually notice — and the ones that pay for themselves.
Use it again
A clean patio is somewhere you actually want to sit. Most clients say the change feels bigger than the cost.
Genuinely safer
No more slippery slabs in the autumn rain, no more tripping edges from moss-lifted stones.
Protects your investment
Properly cleaned and re-jointed stone lasts decades. Neglected stone fails within years.
Right method for the stone
We never blast Indian sandstone with a high-pressure wand. The wrong technique can pit soft stone permanently.
Algae stays away longer
Biocide pre-treatment keeps working long after the visit — regrowth is dramatically slower than a plain pressure wash.
Optional sealing
Impregnating sealers reduce staining, deepen colour and make the next clean significantly easier.
The right cleaning method for every patio material.
Soft stones need a soft approach. Porcelain wants high heat. Concrete handles pressure. The wrong method on the wrong material does more harm than good — here's what we use, and why.
Indian sandstone and limestone
Pre-treated with a low-strength sodium-hypochlorite biocide, then cleaned with a wide-fan low-pressure rotary at around 150 bar. Sandstone is porous and relatively soft — a 0-degree turbo nozzle held too close will pit it permanently within seconds. We never do that. After cleaning, joints are re-cleared and re-pointed where mortar has eroded. Sealing with a breathable impregnator extends life dramatically.
Porcelain paving
Porcelain is extremely tough but holds grease and limescale stubbornly because the surface is non-porous. We use a heated detergent dwell and a wide rotary, followed by a streak-free rinse. No sealing needed — the material is already sealed at the factory.
Concrete and reconstituted stone slabs
Robust enough to take direct rotary cleaning at higher pressure. Often benefits from joint re-sanding afterwards, and a colour-enhancing sealer can dramatically improve faded slabs.
Block-paved patios
Treated exactly like a block driveway — rotary cleaned, joints re-sanded with kiln-dried silica, optional seal. See our driveway cleaning page for the full method.
