Those Victorian terrace patios in Streatham have weathered decades of British seasons. When moss creeps between your York stone and the pointing crumbles, restoration beats replacement every time.
Response within 24 hours
Streatham's mix of period properties and modern townhouses means patios ranging from compact courtyard spaces to sprawling entertainment areas. Weather damage hits them all differently. Black spots on limestone, green algae spreading across sandstone, or simply years of accumulated grime dulling what used to shine - each restoration challenge needs its own approach.
Deep cleaning penetrates below surface stains using rotary equipment calibrated for your specific stone type. Damaged pointing gets carefully removed and replaced with breathable compounds that flex with temperature changes. Sealants protect against future staining whilst maintaining the natural texture. Victorian reclaimed slabs require gentler techniques than modern porcelain, preserving their character whilst eliminating decades of neglect.
Living in SW16 means understanding how Streatham Common's mature trees affect nearby patios with persistent organic staining. Years spent restoring everything from Furzedown's suburban gardens to Streatham Hill's period properties has taught us exactly which methods work for South London's unique conditions.

Small courtyard patios around 20m² typically range from £800-1,200, whilst larger entertainment areas up to 50m² fall between £1,800-3,000. Original Victorian stone often requires specialist attention, adding 20-30% to standard restoration costs.
Absolutely - from the period properties near Streatham Common station (SW16) through to the residential streets bordering Brixton (SW2). Regular projects take us throughout Streatham Hill, Furzedown and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
Most residential patios complete within 2-4 days, weather permitting. Larger spaces or those requiring extensive repointing might stretch to a full week. Initial cleaning happens on day one, with sealing completed once everything's thoroughly dried.
Every restoration includes decade-long protection against workmanship defects. Sealants carry manufacturer warranties ranging from 5-10 years depending on the product selected. Documentation provided covers both labour and materials for complete peace of mind.
Indian sandstone responds brilliantly to professional restoration - even pieces that look beyond hope. Specialist acidic treatments lift iron oxide stains, whilst alkaline solutions tackle organic marking. Most patios transform completely, saving thousands compared to replacement costs.
