If your patio has gone green, slippery or patchy, our team can bring it back to life with professional cleaning and restoration. We regularly work around DA1 and DA2, including homes near Central Park and routes towards the Dartford Crossing. From small courtyard patios to larger family terraces, we remove built-up dirt and organic growth without damaging the surface. The result is a cleaner, safer space that’s ready for outdoor living.
Dartford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments means patios vary widely in age and construction. We often see older pointing that’s crumbling, uneven slabs, and block paving that’s lost its colour. In newer estates around Greenhithe and Swanscombe, resin and porcelain patios can still pick up algae and traffic marks. Our approach is tailored to the material, condition and drainage so the clean looks even, not patchy.
We start with an assessment, protect nearby planting, then use controlled high pressure cleaning with the right nozzles for your paving. Stain treatment and algae removal are applied where needed, followed by optional re-pointing to stabilise joints and reduce weed regrowth. For long-lasting results, we can finish with sealant application once the surface is fully dry. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, tidy working practices and consistent, restoration-grade results across the patio cleaning Dartford area.
In Dartford Borough we plan for tight access on terraced streets and shared drives, and we’re mindful of run-off so water doesn’t pool or track onto paths. Clay-heavy ground and shaded gardens can encourage algae, especially on north-facing patios. We bring appropriate surface cleaners and recovery methods to keep the area tidy and compliant. Whether you’re in Wilmington, Stone or near Bluewater Shopping Centre, we adapt the set-up to your property and parking constraints.

Most patio cleaning in Dartford Borough falls between £3–£8 per square metre, depending on the paving type, level of algae, and whether stain treatment or re-pointing is needed. For many UK homes, a typical total is around £150–£400 for a standard patio. Larger areas, heavy oil/rust staining, or adding sealant application can move the price towards the upper end.
Most jobs take around half a day, which suits the majority of patios in DA1 and DA2. Timing depends on the size of the area, how ingrained the algae is, and whether we’re carrying out extras such as re-pointing or multiple stain treatments. If sealing is included, we’ll advise on drying times and may schedule sealing for a suitable weather window to ensure proper curing.
Patio cleaning is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s maintenance rather than a structural change. The main consideration is responsible water use and run-off, particularly if there are shared paths or nearby drains. We work carefully to minimise mess and avoid sending debris into surface water drains. If your property has specific restrictions (for example, managed developments), we’ll help you check any site rules.

If you notice an issue linked to our workmanship, we’ll inspect and put it right. We’ll also provide aftercare guidance to keep regrowth down.
We clean and restore most common patio materials, including concrete slabs, natural stone (such as sandstone and limestone), block paving, porcelain and some resin-bound surfaces. Finish options include deeper stain treatment, re-pointing (including resin or mortar where appropriate), and sealant choices from natural-matt to enhanced colour. We’ll recommend the safest method for your specific paving, explain the pros and cons, and help you choose a finish that suits your maintenance preferences.
