Slippery green patches and black spotting can quickly spoil a patio, especially after damp spells. Our team cleans and restores paving across BR7, including homes near Chislehurst Common and routes towards Elmstead. Using professional high-pressure cleaning and targeted treatments, we lift ingrained dirt without unnecessary damage. The result is a patio that looks sharper and feels safer underfoot.
Chislehurst’s large detached houses, Victorian villas and other period properties often have generous terraces and older paving that needs careful handling. We regularly work on sandstone, concrete flags, porcelain and block paving, adjusting pressure and chemicals to suit the surface. Where joints have washed out, we can re-point to stabilise edges and reduce weed growth. If your patio sits under trees, we’ll focus on algae and tannin staining common in shaded spots.
We start with an inspection, then pre-treat algae and stains before controlled pressure washing and a thorough rinse. If required, we return the finish with patio restoration steps such as re-pointing and optional sealant application for easier maintenance. We protect nearby planting, manage runoff responsibly and leave the area tidy. Homeowners choose us for consistent results, clear pricing and workmanship backed by our warranty.
In the London Borough of Bromley, many patios sit beneath mature trees, so shade-driven algae and leaf tannins are common. We adapt our process for delicate stone often found at period homes and larger gardens, using the right pressure and pre-treatments. Access can be tight on some drives and side passages, so we plan hose routes and equipment size accordingly. We also take care with drainage and runoff to keep paths and borders clean.

For patio cleaning in Chislehurst, prices typically fall between £3 and £8 per square metre, depending on the paving type and how soiled it is. Most homeowners pay around £150–£400 for a standard patio. Costs can increase if you need heavy algae removal, specialist stain treatment, re-pointing, or a sealant application. We’ll assess the surface and give a clear, itemised range before starting.
Most jobs take around half a day, which suits many patios at BR7 homes. Timing depends on the patio size, the amount of algae or lichen, and whether stains need multiple treatments. If re-pointing is required, it can add time for preparation and finishing. Sealant application may also extend the visit, as the surface must be properly clean and dry before sealing for best results.
Patio cleaning is usually classed as maintenance, so planning permission is not normally required in the London Borough of Bromley. The main considerations are practical: water runoff, noise at reasonable hours, and protecting nearby public paths or shared access. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, there may be extra expectations around chemicals and appearance. We’ll flag any concerns and work in a compliant, considerate way.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty on restoration elements we install, such as re-pointing and associated repairs, provided normal wear-and-tear and aftercare guidance are followed.

After cleaning, we can help you choose finishes that suit your patio and the style of your home. Popular options include re-pointing with a traditional mortar look or a modern jointing compound, plus sealants in natural, wet-look or matt finishes depending on the paving. We work with common surfaces such as sandstone, porcelain, concrete flags and block paving. We’ll recommend the best option based on slip resistance, colour retention and ease of maintenance.
