Response within 24 hours
Slippery green growth and black spotting are common on patios around Streatham Common and along Streatham High Road. Our cleaning service restores block paving, sandstone and concrete flags so your garden feels usable again. We tackle algae, moss and ingrained dirt, then rinse thoroughly for a clean, even result. Ideal for properties across SW16 and SW2 where shaded patios can stay damp for longer.
Streatham’s Victorian and Edwardian houses often have compact rear gardens with older paving that needs a careful approach. Mansion flats and modern apartments in Streatham Hill and Streatham Vale can have shared terraces where neat edges and tidy washdown matter. We adjust pressure and detergents to suit the surface, joints and drainage. The aim is a refreshed patio, not a roughened or etched finish.
We start with an inspection, then pre-treat growth and stains before high pressure cleaning. Where joints have failed, we can re-point to stabilise slabs and reduce weed regrowth, then apply sealant if you want longer-lasting protection. We work cleanly, protect borders and keep run-off controlled. Homeowners choose us for consistent results, clear advice and a finish that lasts.

Most patio cleaning in Streatham is priced by area and condition, typically £3–£8 per square metre. Smaller patios with light soiling may sit at the lower end, while heavy algae, deep staining or delicate natural stone can increase costs due to extra treatments and time. As a guide, many homeowners spend around £150–£400 depending on size, access and whether you add re-pointing or sealing.
A typical job takes around half a day, which suits most patios at Victorian and Edwardian homes in SW16 and SW2. Timing depends on the patio size, the level of algae and black spot, and whether stain treatments need dwell time. Re-pointing and sealant application can extend the visit, especially if joints need drying time. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after a quick site check.
Patio cleaning is usually classed as maintenance, so planning permission is not normally required in the London Borough of Lambeth. The main considerations are practical ones: managing run-off, avoiding detergents entering surface drains, and keeping noise reasonable. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area, or have management-company rules for a shared terrace, we’ll help you check any restrictions before work starts.
