Slippery algae and traffic marks can quickly spoil a patio, especially after wet spells. Our team cleans and restores paving across CR2, including homes near Sanderstead Plantation and the routes around Sanderstead Recreation Ground. Whether it’s sandstone, concrete flags or block paving, we target stains without etching or loosening the surface. The result is a brighter, safer space for family use and entertaining.
Sanderstead’s larger detached houses, executive homes and period properties often have generous terraces and pathways that show every patch of green growth. We regularly work in nearby Purley, Selsdon and Hamsey Green, where shaded gardens and mature planting can encourage moss and algae. Different paving types respond differently to pressure and chemicals, so we tailor the approach to your materials and pointing. That means a thorough clean without the “striped” look or damaged joints.
We start with a site check, protect borders, then use controlled high pressure cleaning with targeted algae removal. Where joints have failed, we can re-point to stabilise the paving and reduce future weed growth, followed by stain treatment for rust, tannin or oil marks. If you choose it, a sealant application helps slow re-soiling and enhances colour on suitable surfaces. Homeowners trust us for tidy working, clear communication and results that last beyond the first rainfall.
Working across the London Borough of Croydon, we’re used to Sanderstead’s sloping drives, shaded rear patios and mature gardens that hold moisture. Access can be tight on some residential roads, so we plan equipment placement and water run-off carefully. We also adapt pressure and detergents to common materials found on larger plots, from natural stone to older concrete flags. If parking or hose access is limited, we’ll confirm practicalities before the day.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For patio cleaning Sanderstead area homes typically pay £3–£8 per square metre, depending on the paving type, level of algae, and whether stain treatment or re-pointing is needed. Most projects fall around £150–£400 for an average patio. Larger terraces, heavy black-spot removal, or adding sealant application can increase the total, while straightforward cleans on accessible patios tend to sit at the lower end.
Most jobs take around half a day, which suits many properties in CR2. Timing depends on patio size, how ingrained the algae or lichen is, and whether you want extras such as re-pointing or sealant application. Stain treatment can add time for dwell periods, and drying conditions affect when sealing can be applied. We’ll confirm an expected schedule after a quick assessment of your paving and access.
Patio cleaning in London Borough of Croydon is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s maintenance rather than building work. The main considerations are responsible water run-off, noise at reasonable hours, and protecting nearby drains and planting. If your property has special restrictions (for example, a listed building or conservation considerations), we’ll flag any extra care needed. We also work in a way that minimises mess on pavements and shared access.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for restoration elements we carry out, such as re-pointing and related patio restoration tasks, when maintained as advised. Cleaning results naturally vary with weather, shade and foot traffic, but we use proven methods to reduce rapid regrowth and help the finish last. If you opt for sealant application, we’ll explain expected performance and aftercare. Any concerns are handled promptly and fairly.
We clean and restore most common patio surfaces, including sandstone, limestone, porcelain, concrete flags and block paving.

We’ll advise on what’s best for your paving, slip resistance and how the area is used, then tailor the process accordingly.
