Slippery green algae and black spotting are common on patios around West Wickham High Street and near Sparrows Den, especially after wet spells. Our patio cleaning service removes built-up dirt, organic growth and staining so your outdoor area looks cared-for again. We work on block paving, concrete flags, sandstone and porcelain. If you’re in BR4, we can usually visit at a time that suits weekday or weekend routines.
West Wickham has plenty of 1930s semis and detached homes with generous rear gardens, plus newer developments where porcelain and composite edging are popular. These different surfaces need different pressures, detergents and rinsing methods to avoid etching or joint loss. We regularly support homeowners across Coney Hall and nearby Hayes and Shirley. That local mix of properties means we’re used to everything from small courtyards to wide entertaining patios.
We start with an inspection, then apply targeted treatments for algae, lichen and rust or tannin stains where needed. High pressure cleaning is controlled and surface-appropriate, followed by optional re-pointing to stabilise joints and reduce weed return. For a longer-lasting finish, we can apply a quality sealant once the patio is dry. Homeowners choose us for careful workmanship, clear communication and a finish that looks professionally restored.
In the West Wickham area, shaded gardens near tree lines and open countryside can encourage moss and algae, especially on north-facing patios. We tailor chemical dwell times and rinsing to suit Bromley’s varied paving types and drainage layouts. Access is often via side passages on 1930s semis, so we bring compact kit and protect paths and borders. We also work considerately with parking and water use on residential roads in BR4.

For patio cleaning in West Wickham area, costs are usually £3–£8 per square metre depending on the surface and how soiled it is. Most homeowners pay around £150–£400 for a typical patio. Extras such as stain treatment, re-pointing, or sealant application can increase the total, as can heavy algae build-up or awkward access. We’ll confirm the best approach after a quick site check.
Most patio cleaning jobs take around half a day, which suits many homes in BR4. Timing depends on patio size, the type of paving, and how much algae or black spot needs treating. Re-pointing or sealant application can add time, and sealing may need a return visit once the patio is fully dry. We’ll give a realistic schedule and keep disruption to a minimum.
Patio cleaning is generally permitted and doesn’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Bromley. The main considerations are practical: wastewater run-off, use of chemicals, and noise at reasonable hours. If your property has specific restrictions (for example, a managed development or listed building considerations), we’ll advise on best practice. We work neatly and responsibly to avoid mess entering drains or neighbouring areas.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on relevant restoration elements we install, such as re-pointing and associated repair work, when maintained as advised. Cleaning results can vary with shade, foot traffic and nearby trees, but we use proven treatments to slow regrowth and can recommend a maintenance plan. If anything we’ve carried out fails due to workmanship, we’ll put it right.
We clean and restore most patio materials, including block paving, concrete flags, sandstone, limestone and porcelain. Finish options include targeted stain treatments, re-pointing (traditional mortar or resin-based where suitable), and sealant application in natural or colour-enhancing finishes. We’ll help you choose based on slip resistance, the look you want, and how much ongoing maintenance you prefer, especially for shaded gardens near Spring Park and Coney Hall.
