Slippery green algae and black spotting are common on patios around Tooting Bec Common and the streets off SW17. Our cleaning service lifts ingrained dirt from stone, concrete and block paving without leaving messy residue across your garden. Whether you’re by Tooting Broadway station or nearer Furzedown, we’ll make the surface safer underfoot and noticeably brighter. It’s an effective refresh before summer hosting or property viewings.
Homes in Tooting include Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, often with compact rear gardens and side returns. That means careful hose management, tidy runoff control and the right pressure settings for older paving and pointing. We’re used to working on small patios, long narrow paths and shared access routes typical of Tooting Bec and Tooting Graveney. The result is a thorough clean that respects period materials and neighbouring boundaries.
We start with an assessment of the surface type and any loose joints, then carry out high pressure cleaning with targeted algae removal and stain treatment where needed. If the joints have washed out, we can re-point to help prevent weed regrowth and movement. Many clients choose a sealant application afterwards to slow down future staining and make routine maintenance easier. Fine Landscaping is based just 15 minutes away, and we work cleanly, on time, with clear aftercare guidance.
In the London Borough of Wandsworth, we often see shaded patios that stay damp, especially near mature trees and communal gardens. Access can be tight behind Victorian terraces, so we plan equipment placement and protect thresholds and drains. We also work around controlled parking and school-run traffic near Tooting Broadway and Tooting Market. Our approach keeps noise, overspray and runoff to a minimum while still delivering a deep clean.

For patio cleaning in the Tooting area, costs typically fall between £3–£8 per square metre, depending on the surface and how soiled it is. Most homeowners pay around £150–£400 for a standard patio clean. Heavy algae, oil or rust staining, delicate natural stone, and any re-pointing or sealant application can increase the overall price. We’ll confirm the best approach after a quick site check.
Most jobs take around half a day, which suits typical patios behind Victorian and Edwardian homes in SW17. Timing depends on the patio size, the level of algae or lichen, and whether stain treatment is needed. If re-pointing is required, we may need extra time for jointing and drying before sealing. We’ll give a realistic schedule and let you know when the area can be used again.
In most cases, patio cleaning is classed as routine maintenance and doesn’t need planning permission in the London Borough of Wandsworth. The key considerations are practical: managing wastewater responsibly, avoiding run-off into public drains, and keeping noise reasonable. If access requires working across a shared passage or near a public footway, we’ll discuss the safest setup. We always aim to work compliantly and consider any local restrictions.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on restoration elements we carry out, such as re-pointing and patio restoration repairs, when installed and maintained as advised. Cleaning results will naturally vary depending on weather, shade and foot traffic, but we use proven methods to maximise longevity. If any warrantied restoration work shows defects due to workmanship, we’ll return to put it right. Aftercare guidance is included.
We clean and restore a wide range of surfaces, including sandstone, limestone, porcelain, concrete flags and block paving. For protection, we can apply an appropriate sealant in matt or low-sheen finishes, chosen to suit the material and slip risk. If joints are failing, we’ll recommend re-pointing options that match the look of period patios. We’ll help you choose based on usage, drainage, shade and the style of your garden.
