Patio Cleaning in Streetly

Patios, paths and decking come back further than most people expect. We clean Indian sandstone, porcelain, riven natural stone, concrete slabs and block paving, taking off the green algae film, the crusted lichen spots and the black spot staining that sandstone in particular collects. Pressure is matched to the material, so a soft porcelain-safe wash rather than one setting used on everything. Where pointing has broken up or jointing sand has washed out of block paving, we make that good as part of the job.

Rear gardens in Streetly are long, and enough of them are enclosed that the paved area nearest the house barely sees direct sun between October and March. Sandstone terraces laid through the 2000s go dark and slippery in that position, lichen crusts hard onto riven stone wherever something drips onto it from above, and the decking behind the older houses holds a green film right through the winter. Plots that fall away from the house are common on these estates as well, so there are usually steps, a low retaining wall and a long side path round to the gate that need the same attention as the terrace itself.

Late spring is the sensible time, so the terrace is ready before you actually want to sit on it, although we clean patios all year and an autumn wash stops the winter build-up getting a hold. On the day we move furniture and pots, protect nearby planting, wash the slabs through, then re-sand or re-point where it is needed and rinse down the surrounding paths as well. Send us the approximate area and the type of stone online and a quote follows shortly.
