Slippery green patches and black spotting are common on Sidcup patios, especially after damp spells. Our team cleans and restores paving so it looks sharper and feels safer underfoot. We regularly work around Sidcup High Street and near Foots Cray Meadows, where shaded gardens can encourage algae. If your slabs look dull or patchy, we’ll get them back to a clean, even finish.
Homes across DA14 and DA15 range from 1930s semis to Victorian houses and newer developments, and each patio surface needs a slightly different approach. Older properties often have weathered joints and uneven slabs that benefit from careful re-pointing after cleaning. Modern patios can suffer from oil drips, BBQ stains and tyre marks from nearby parking areas. We tailor pressure, detergents and finishing steps to suit your paving and your property style.
We start with an assessment, protect nearby planting, then use high pressure cleaning with targeted algae removal and stain treatment. Where joints have washed out, we can re-point to help prevent movement and weed growth, then apply a sealant for longer-lasting results. You’ll get clear guidance on drying times and aftercare, plus a tidy site when we leave. Local homeowners choose us for consistent results, respectful working and straightforward scheduling.
In the London Borough of Bexley, shaded gardens and tree cover can leave patios greener for longer, particularly near parkland. We adjust pressure and products to suit common paving types and avoid etching softer surfaces. Access and parking can vary on residential roads, so we plan equipment setup to keep walkways clear and disruption low. Our methods suit everything from compact terraces to larger family gardens.

Most patio cleaning in Sidcup is priced at around £3–£8 per square metre, depending on the paving type, level of soiling and whether algae removal or stain treatment is needed. For many homes, typical totals fall between £150–£400. Extras such as re-pointing washed-out joints or applying a protective sealant can increase the overall cost, but they often extend the results and reduce ongoing maintenance.
A standard job is usually completed in around half a day, though timings vary with patio size, access and how ingrained the dirt is. Heavy algae, thick moss, or multiple stain treatments can add time, as can careful work on delicate stone. If re-pointing is required, we may need additional time for jointing and drying conditions. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after assessing the surface.
Patio cleaning is generally classed as routine maintenance, so planning permission is not normally required in the London Borough of Bexley. The main considerations are practical ones, such as managing run-off water and being mindful of neighbours if you live in a close setting. If your property is listed, in a conservation area, or has specific restrictions, we can advise on sensible precautions and adjust the approach accordingly.
