Our process

How we approach the job

01

Survey & stone test

We identify the paving type and any weak pointing, then choose the safest cleaning method and test a small area.

02

Clear & protect

Plants, furniture, doors and windows are protected. Loose debris and weeds are cleared before the main clean.

03

Clean & treat

Low-pressure washing, soft washing or targeted treatment applied to lift algae, lichen and dirt without eroding joints or stone.

04

Rinse & finish

Surface rinsed thoroughly, joints checked, and a gentle treatment applied if needed to slow regrowth.

FAQ

Patio Cleaning - your questions

High-pressure blasting can damage soft stone, strip jointing sand and cause erosion. We use controlled pressure and soft wash methods matched to the paving.
