Outdoor paving in BR2 often suffers from algae, black spot and ground-in dirt, especially after damp spells near Hayes Common. Our patio cleaning service restores colour and grip to slabs, block paving and natural stone. We use controlled high-pressure cleaning and targeted treatments to remove staining without etching the surface. If you’re near Hayes station or West Wickham, we can usually schedule quickly.
Hayes (Bromley) has a mix of large detached houses, period cottages and well-loved 1930s properties, many with generous rear patios and side access. These patios are often laid in sandstone, concrete flags or block paving, with older pointing that can crumble over time. We tailor pressure, nozzles and detergents to the material and age of the paving. That means a thorough clean that respects the character of your garden and home.
We start with an assessment, pre-treat algae and stains, then clean evenly to avoid striping and splash marks. Where joints are failing, we can re-point after cleaning and finish with an optional sealant application to slow regrowth and reduce staining. Work is kept tidy, with runoff managed and surrounding planting protected. Homeowners choose us for consistent results, clear pricing, and a finish that lasts.
In the patio cleaning Hayes (Bromley) area, shaded gardens near commons can encourage moss and algae, so we use appropriate biocides and dwell times before washing. Access can be tight on some residential roads, so we plan equipment loads and parking to minimise disruption. We also adapt to older pointing common around period homes, recommending re-pointing where pressure washing would otherwise dislodge joints. For properties around Norman Park and BR2, we manage rinse water carefully to keep paths and borders clean.

Most patio cleaning in London Borough of Bromley is priced by area and condition. Typical rates are £3–£8 per square metre, depending on material, level of algae, and whether stain treatment is needed. For many homes in Hayes (Bromley), the usual total falls around £150–£400 for a standard patio. Re-pointing and sealant application are optional extras and will increase the overall cost.
Most jobs are completed in around half a day, which suits the majority of patios at 1930s and detached properties in BR2. Time can increase if the paving is heavily soiled, if there are multiple levels or tight access, or if you add stain treatment and re-pointing. Sealant application may require extra drying time, so we’ll advise on when the patio can be used again after cleaning.
Patio cleaning is usually classed as routine maintenance, so planning permission is not normally required. The main considerations are safe working, noise at reasonable hours, and managing wastewater so it doesn’t enter surface water drains. If your property has specific restrictions (for example, listed status or special site constraints), we’ll flag any extra precautions. We always work responsibly and can advise if anything unusual applies.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for any re-pointing or restoration work we carry out as part of your patio restoration, covering defects caused by installation or application issues. Cleaning results naturally vary with weather, shade and ongoing foot traffic, so regrowth of algae over time isn’t classed as a defect. If you choose sealant application, we’ll also advise on expected lifespan and maintenance to extend results.
We clean and restore most common patio surfaces, including sandstone, limestone, porcelain, concrete flags and block paving.

We’ll recommend the safest approach based on your paving type, age and existing pointing. If you’re considering a wider patio restoration, we can also advise on colour-enhancing or natural-look sealers to suit your garden style.
