Patio Cleaning in Kings Norton

Patios, paths and decking are cleaned at a pressure matched to the material, which matters far more than raw power. Indian sandstone and natural stone take a gentler wash than concrete slabs, porcelain needs little more than a careful chemical-free clean and rinse, and decking is worked along the grain. We lift algae, lichen and the black spot that etches into sandstone, clear out the joints, then re-point or re-sand wherever the fill has washed away. Steps, edging and the path round to the gate are done at the same time.

Back gardens in Kings Norton are long and heavily planted, and it is that shade which feeds the growth. Boundary trees, old hedges and the fruit trees put in on the estate plots decades ago keep half the paving out of the sun all day, and the lower ground towards the canal stays damp until mid-morning. A great many Indian sandstone patios were laid here during the garden boom of the 2000s and have never had a proper clean since; they usually come back two shades lighter than the owner remembers.

We soft wash or pressure wash according to what you have, work in sections, and rinse the beds and lawn edges down afterwards so nothing is left sitting on your planting. Where mortar joints have failed we re-point, and sand-filled slabs or block paving get fresh kiln-dried sand brushed in. Most people book for April or May so the patio is ready for summer, though an autumn clean holds well through the winter. Rough measurements are enough for us to quote.
