Slippery green patches and black spots are common on patios around Keston Common and the paths near Keston Ponds. Our patio restoration service lifts ingrained dirt, algae and lichen so your outdoor area looks cared-for again. We clean stone, concrete and block paving with controlled high pressure, then treat stains where needed. If joints have washed out, we can re-point to stabilise the surface.
Keston homes range from period cottages to large detached houses and country homes, often with generous patios and steps. We regularly work across BR2, including nearby Hayes and Farnborough, where shaded gardens can encourage algae growth. Different paving types react differently to cleaning, so we adjust pressure, nozzles and detergents to suit. The goal is a refreshed patio without etching or loosening the surface.
We start with an inspection, pre-treatment for algae removal, then high pressure cleaning with careful edge control. Stain treatment is applied for rust, tannin or barbecue marks, followed by optional sealant application once the patio is fully dry. We leave the area tidy and advise on aftercare to keep it looking good for longer. Homeowners choose us for consistent results, clear pricing guidance and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Keston’s mix of woodland edges and open commonland can mean damp shade and faster algae regrowth, especially on north-facing paving. We plan water run-off carefully and use containment where needed to keep gardens and borders clean. Access and parking can vary from narrow cottage drives to long private frontages, so we arrive with the right hose lengths and equipment. We also tailor our approach for older stone flags that need a gentler clean than modern concrete slabs.

For patio cleaning in the Keston area, costs typically fall between £3–£8 per square metre, depending on the paving type and how heavy the staining or algae is. Most homeowners pay around £150–£400 for a standard domestic patio. Extras such as stain treatment, re-pointing, or sealant application can increase the overall spend, but they also extend the results and improve durability.
Most jobs take around half a day, which suits many patios at period cottages and larger detached homes in BR2. Time depends on the total area, the amount of algae removal required, and whether you add re-pointing or sealing. Deep stains can need dwell time for treatments, and sealing can only be applied once the surface is sufficiently dry. We’ll confirm timings after a quick site check.
In most cases, patio cleaning and restoration are classed as routine maintenance and don’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Bromley. The main considerations are practical: managing run-off, protecting nearby planting, and working considerately with noise and access. If your property has special restrictions (for example, listed status or conservation guidance), we’ll flag anything relevant and adapt methods accordingly before starting.
Yes. Our workmanship is supported by a 10-year warranty on restoration elements we install, such as re-pointing, where the correct materials and aftercare are followed. Cleaning results can vary with weather, shade and foot traffic, so we also provide clear maintenance advice to help the patio stay cleaner for longer. If you notice an issue linked to our work, we’ll inspect and put it right.
We clean and restore most common patio surfaces, including natural stone (sandstone, limestone), concrete slabs and block paving. Options include targeted stain treatment, re-pointing with appropriate jointing compounds, and sealant application in matt or enhanced finishes depending on the look you prefer. We’ll advise what suits your paving and how it will change colour and slip resistance, so you can choose a finish that works for your garden.
