Slippery green paving is a common complaint around Orpington, especially after a wet spell. Our team cleans and restores patios for homeowners near Orpington station and along the High Street, using the right pressure for your surface. From light refreshes to full patio restoration, we focus on clean edges, even colour and safe footing. If you’re in BR5 or BR6, we can usually reach you in around 30 minutes.
Orpington’s mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and modern estates often comes with generous rear patios and side access. We regularly work in St Mary Cray and Petts Wood where block paving, concrete flags and sandstone are all common. Different materials need different approaches, so we adjust pressure, nozzles and detergents to avoid etching or loosening joints. The aim is a refreshed patio that suits a family garden and stands up to year-round use.
We start with an inspection, then apply targeted algae removal and stain treatment before high pressure cleaning. Where joints have failed, we can re-point to stabilise the paving and reduce weed regrowth, then finish with optional sealant application for longer-lasting results. We protect nearby planting, keep run-off controlled, and leave the area clean and usable. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, careful workmanship and consistent results.
In the patio cleaning Orpington area, shaded gardens and tree cover can encourage moss and algae, particularly on north-facing slabs. We plan water use and run-off so it’s controlled and tidy, and we’re mindful of access on driveways and shared paths typical of 1930s semis. If parking is limited near The Walnuts Shopping Centre or busy streets, we schedule to minimise disruption. Our methods suit common Bromley surfaces, from concrete flags to natural stone.

Most Patio Cleaning in Orpington is priced at around £3–£8 per square metre, depending on the paving type and how ingrained the algae or staining is. Typical total costs are often £150–£400 for an average family patio. Extras such as re-pointing, specialist stain treatments, or sealant application can increase the price, but they also extend the life and appearance of the finish.
For many homes in BR5 and BR6, patio cleaning is completed in about half a day. Time can vary with patio size, the amount of algae removal needed, and whether we’re adding re-pointing or sealant application. Heavily shaded areas or patios with lots of furniture to move may take longer. We’ll confirm a realistic timescale after a quick assessment and keep you updated throughout.
In most cases, patio cleaning and restoration are classed as maintenance, so planning permission isn’t required in the London Borough of Bromley. The main considerations are practical ones, such as water run-off, noise at reasonable hours, and protecting neighbouring boundaries. If your property is listed, within a conservation area, or has specific drainage constraints, we’ll flag any extra checks. We always work responsibly and can advise before booking.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for restoration elements we install, such as re-pointing and any associated repairs carried out as part of the job. Cleaning results naturally depend on weather, shade and ongoing maintenance, but we use proven treatments and correct pressure to avoid damage. If you have concerns after the work, we’ll review the area and put things right where it relates to our workmanship.
We clean and restore most common patio surfaces, including concrete flags, block paving, sandstone, limestone and porcelain. Options include targeted stain treatment, joint re-pointing, and a choice of sealants (natural-look or enhanced colour, depending on the material). We’ll recommend the safest method for your paving and explain how each finish affects slip resistance, appearance and maintenance. If you’re unsure, we can test a small area first.
