Outdoor paving around Clapham Common and Clapham Old Town takes a battering from foot traffic, shade and damp weather. Our patio cleaning service strips away slippery algae and ingrained dirt so your terrace looks sharper and feels safer underfoot. We work on stone, concrete and block paving, tailoring pressure and detergents to the surface. If you’re in SW4 or SW11, we can usually get to you quickly.
Clapham’s mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments means patios vary from small courtyard spaces to larger family gardens. We’re used to delicate pointing on period properties as well as newer porcelain and concrete slabs. Where access is tight—common around Clapham North and Clapham Park—we plan hose runs, water supply and waste-water control in advance. The aim is a clean finish with minimal disruption to neighbours.
We start with an inspection, then apply targeted algae removal and stain treatment before high pressure cleaning at the right setting. If joints are loose or washed out, we can re-point to stabilise the paving and reduce weed growth. Finally, we can apply a sealant to help slow staining and make future maintenance easier. Homeowners choose us for consistent results, careful surface protection and clear, upfront recommendations.
The patio cleaning clapham area often involves shaded gardens and north-facing courtyards, where algae builds up quickly. In the patio cleaning in London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth work we do, access and parking can be the biggest variables, especially near Clapham Junction station and busier streets. We schedule to reduce disruption, protect drains, and control run-off so your property stays tidy. Our approach suits both compact terraces and larger family gardens.

Most patio cleaning in Clapham is priced at around £3–£8 per square metre, depending on the paving type, level of algae, and whether stain treatment is needed. For typical residential patios, costs commonly fall between £150 and £400. Extras such as re-pointing or sealant application can increase the total, but they also extend the life and appearance of the finish.
Most jobs take around half a day, which suits many Clapham properties with small to medium patios. Time varies with the size of the area, how heavily soiled it is, and whether we’re adding stain treatment, re-pointing, or sealant. Drying time can also affect sealing, especially in cooler or damp weather. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after a quick site check.
Patio cleaning is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Lambeth or Wandsworth. The main considerations are practical: noise, working hours, and managing run-off so it doesn’t enter neighbouring land or overwhelm surface drains. If your property has specific restrictions (for example, listed status or managed blocks), we’ll flag any extra requirements and adapt the method accordingly.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on applicable restoration elements such as re-pointing and related installation-style work. Cleaning results can vary because algae and staining depend on shade, drainage and ongoing use, but we always aim for a consistent, even finish without damage. If something isn’t right after the job, we’ll return to inspect and put it right where it falls within warranty terms.
We clean and restore most common patio surfaces, including natural stone (sandstone, limestone), concrete slabs, block paving and porcelain. Finish options include targeted stain treatment, re-pointing for loose joints, and sealant application for added protection and easier maintenance. We’ll advise what suits your paving and how you use the space—whether it’s a dining terrace, a pet-friendly garden, or a high-traffic route to the back door.
