Slippery algae and traffic grime can quickly spoil patios across SW18, especially after wet spells. Our team cleans and restores paving for homeowners in Wandsworth Town, Southfields and nearby streets around Wandsworth Common. Whether your patio is used for family dining or a quiet coffee spot, we’ll remove the build-up that dulls the surface and makes it unsafe. Results are immediate, with a finish that looks cared for again.
Wandsworth’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses often comes with older stone flags, brick edging and well-used garden paths that need a gentle, controlled approach. We also work on modern riverside apartments where balconies and courtyards benefit from low-splash methods and tidy water management. Different paving types react differently to pressure and chemicals, so we tailor the clean to your sandstone, concrete slabs, porcelain or block paving. That means fewer risks and a more even finish.
Our process combines high pressure cleaning with targeted algae removal and stain treatment, followed by re-pointing where joints have washed out. If you’d like longer-lasting protection, we can apply a suitable sealant once the surface is properly dry. We work neatly, protect borders and drains, and leave paths usable the same day whenever possible. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clear pricing and restoration work that stands up to British weather.
In the patio cleaning Wandsworth area, shaded gardens and north-facing patios often hold damp, encouraging algae and black spotting. Many SW18 homes have narrow side access and shared boundaries, so we plan hose runs, splash control and waste-water handling carefully. Parking and loading can be tighter near Southside Shopping Centre and busier routes, so we schedule efficiently and arrive prepared. We also match methods to common local materials, from older flags to newer porcelain installs.

Timing depends on patio size, the amount of algae or staining, and whether you’d like additional services such as re-pointing, patio restoration, or sealant application. Delicate stone may require a slower, lower-pressure approach, and drying time is needed before sealing. We’ll confirm the schedule in advance and keep disruption to a minimum.
Patio cleaning is generally classed as maintenance, so planning permission is not normally required in the London Borough of Wandsworth. The main considerations are practical: noise at reasonable hours, controlling run-off, and ensuring dirty water doesn’t enter surface water drains. If you live in a flat with communal areas, there may be building management rules to follow. We’ll discuss access and drainage before starting and work within local requirements.
