Slippery green build-up and dark staining are common on patios around Purley Cross and the CR8 area, especially after wet spells. Our cleaning service restores paving so it looks brighter and feels safer underfoot. Whether your patio is used for family seating or entertaining, we bring it back to a finish you’ll be happy to show off. We can also tackle stubborn marks from BBQs, planters and leaf tannins.
Homes in Purley range from large detached houses to 1930s properties and well-kept period homes, often with generous rear gardens. Different paving types need different handling, from delicate pointing to tougher concrete flags. We regularly work across Purley Oaks, Kenley and nearby streets where access and drainage vary from plot to plot. That local familiarity helps us plan the clean efficiently and protect borders, lawns and brickwork.
We start with an assessment of the paving, joints and staining, then select the right pressure and attachments for the surface. Algae removal and stain treatment are followed by careful rinsing, with optional re-pointing to stabilise loose joints. For longer-lasting results, we can apply a quality sealant once the patio is fully dry. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, tidy working practices and consistent results from a team only 15 minutes away.
In the patio cleaning Purley area, shaded gardens near trees and North Downs weather patterns can encourage algae and lichen. We adapt pressure settings for older flags and block paving common across the London Borough of Croydon. Parking and access can be tight on some residential roads, so we arrive prepared with appropriate hose runs and protection for paths and borders. We also manage run-off carefully to keep the site clean and compliant.

For patio cleaning in London Borough of Croydon, most homeowners in Purley pay around £3–£8 per square metre, depending on the paving type and how heavy the staining is. Typical totals are often £150–£400 for an average patio. Extras such as re-pointing, specialist stain treatments or sealant application can increase the overall cost, but they also extend the results and reduce future maintenance.
Most patio cleans in Purley take around half a day, which suits typical garden patio sizes. Timing depends on the total square metres, how ingrained the algae is, and whether we’re doing re-pointing or multiple stain treatments. Access to the rear garden and water supply can also affect set-up time. If you choose sealant application, we’ll advise on drying time before use, as sealing is best done on fully dry paving.
In most cases, patio cleaning is classed as routine maintenance and doesn’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Croydon. The main considerations are safe water run-off, avoiding nuisance to neighbours, and working within any restrictions for listed buildings or conservation areas. If your property has specific covenants or you’re unsure, we’ll flag any potential issues before starting. We always work responsibly and keep the site tidy throughout.
