Slippery green patches and black spotting are common on patios around Sutton High Street and Manor Park, especially after wet spells. Our patio cleaning service removes algae, lichen and ingrained dirt to restore colour and grip. Whether you’re in SM1 or SM2, we tailor pressure and detergents to your paving type. The result is a cleaner, safer surface that looks cared for again.
Homes across Cheam, Carshalton and Benhilton often have older paving laid alongside 1930s semis and Victorian terraces, plus newer patio slabs in modern developments. Each surface behaves differently: sandstone can be delicate, concrete flags can hold oil marks, and block paving can lose jointing over time. We assess the condition first, then choose the right approach to avoid etching or patchy results. That local experience helps us deliver a consistent finish across Sutton gardens.
We start with a pre-treatment to loosen growth, followed by controlled high pressure cleaning and targeted stain treatment where needed. If joints are failing, we can re-point and advise on sealant application to slow future staining and algae return. We protect nearby planting, manage run-off responsibly, and leave the area tidy. Fine Landscaping is based just 20 minutes away, so you get reliable scheduling and fast follow-up if you need it.
In the patio cleaning Sutton area, we often deal with shaded gardens, clay-heavy soil splashback and leaf tannins from mature trees. Access can be tight on terraced streets, so we plan hose routes and equipment size to minimise disruption. We also consider parking restrictions near busier spots such as the St Nicholas Centre. Our method is adjusted to suit common Sutton paving and jointing styles, keeping results even and long-lasting.

Most patio cleaning jobs in Sutton take around half a day, which suits typical garden patio sizes in SM1–SM3. Timing depends on the amount of algae and lichen, the number of steps or edges, and whether you want re-pointing or sealing afterwards. Heavily stained areas may need dwell time for treatments to work properly. We’ll give a realistic timescale once we’ve seen the surface and access.
Patio cleaning is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Sutton, as it’s maintenance rather than construction.

If you live in a managed development or have specific site rules, there may be additional requirements. We’re happy to check any constraints and adapt our method to stay compliant and considerate.
