Patio Cleaning in Solihull

Patios, paths and decking are cleaned to suit whatever they are made of. Indian sandstone, porcelain, natural stone flags, concrete slabs and block paving all behave differently under pressure, so we set the machine accordingly and work in passes rather than driving one hard line across the surface. Algae, lichen and the black spot that pits sandstone all come away, joints are re-sanded or re-pointed where they have failed, and the steps and the strip along the house are done as part of the same job. What comes back is the original colour.

Rear gardens on this side of the borough are large and well planted, which is pleasant to sit in and hard on stone. A sandstone terrace behind one of the bigger houses around Widney Manor Road, Bentley Heath or Knowle usually has a north-facing house wall on one side and shrubs on the other, so it stays damp through the winter and comes out of it grey-green with lichen. The heavy clay holds water at the lawn edge as well, so the slabs nearest the grass are the first to green up and the last to dry.

Most people book a patio clean in spring so the surface is ready before the first warm weekend, then leave it a year or two depending on how shaded it is. We move whatever furniture we reasonably can, wash the paving and the path around it, clear the joints and re-sand or re-point where the filling has gone. Decking is done at a lower pressure to protect the grain. Tell us the rough area and the material and we will price it up.
