Coulsdon’s downland setting means patios often pick up algae and black spotting, especially after damp spells. We clean stone, concrete and block paving surfaces to bring back their original tone and texture. If your patio near Farthing Downs or Old Coulsdon has turned slippery, we can remove growth safely and improve traction. Every clean is tailored to the paving type and condition, not a one-size approach.
We regularly work across CR5, including Chipstead Valley and Hooley, where gardens range from generous detached plots to tidy modern terraces. 1930s properties often have older slabs or brick edging that need careful pressure control. Newer developments may have porcelain or resin-bound features that benefit from specialist stain treatment. We adapt the method to your surface so it cleans evenly and dries without patchy marks.
Our patio restoration process starts with a site check, then high pressure cleaning with controlled settings and targeted algae removal. Where joints have washed out, we can re-point to stabilise edges and reduce weed regrowth. For oil, rust or tannin marks, we use dedicated stain treatment before rinsing thoroughly. If you choose sealant application, we apply it once the patio is fully dry for a consistent finish homeowners trust.
Coulsdon’s semi-rural plots and shaded boundaries can keep paving damp, encouraging algae and lichen. We plan around access and water run-off, and work considerately with driveways and shared parking. In the patio cleaning Coulsdon area, we often see mixed materials—older slabs beside newer paving—so we adjust pressure and detergents to suit each section. We also keep noise and working hours sensible for residential streets.

For patio cleaning in Coulsdon, most homeowners pay around £3–£8 per square metre, depending on surface type and how ingrained the dirt is. Typical total costs are usually £150–£400 for an average patio. Extras such as stain treatment, re-pointing, or sealant application can increase the price, but they often extend the results and reduce ongoing maintenance.
Most jobs take around half a day, though smaller patios can be completed faster. Timing depends on the patio size, the amount of algae or black spotting, and whether we’re adding services like re-pointing or stain treatment. Sealant application may require a return visit or extra drying time, as the surface needs to be fully dry for a consistent finish.
Patio cleaning in the London Borough of Croydon is generally permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s maintenance rather than new building work. The main considerations are practical: water run-off, protecting nearby drains, and keeping noise reasonable. If your property has specific restrictions (for example, a listed building or special management rules), we’ll flag any concerns and adjust the approach accordingly.
