Patio Cleaning in Bromsgrove

Patios, paths and decking are all cleaned the same careful way: identify the material first, then set the pressure to suit it. Indian sandstone, porcelain, riven natural stone, concrete slabs and block paving each behave differently under a lance, and porous sandstone in particular will scar if it is hit too hard. We lift algae, lichen and the black spot that bites into sandstone, wash the paths and steps at the same time, and re-point or re-sand any joints the clean has opened up.

Gardens in Bromsgrove are mostly deep and mostly shaded, which is hard on paving. The mature plots out towards Barnt Green and around Finstall sit under oak and beech, so leaf mould stains the stone and lichen settles on whichever elevation never sees the sun. In the tighter terraced yards, damp is trapped between high brick walls and the paving stays green almost all year. The newer sandstone terraces on the housing off Whitford Road are the ones that suffer worst from black spot.

Spring is the natural time to book, so the colour is back in the stone before you want to sit out on it. We arrive with our own water and a rotary head, work from the house outwards, cut the joints and steps in by hand, and rinse everything down so no slurry is left drying on the slabs. Decking is done at lower pressure and along the grain, and sealing is available on stone that takes it. Send a photo of the paving and we will quote from that.
