Large areas cost less per square metre and more in total — and the finishing work scales with them in a way people do not expect.
Quoted on area, surface, condition, access and finishing. A large patio is usually better value per square metre than a small one, because set-up and access are spread across more work.
We do not publish a fixed price list for power washing, because area, surface type and how long it has been left all change the job considerably. What we can do is explain what moves the number.
| Factor | Effect |
|---|---|
| Weeds and moss in joints | Hand clearing before washing |
| Years of accumulated growth | Multiple passes |
| Steps and level changes | Slower, more awkward |
| Borders alongside | Protection needed |
| Furniture, pots, planters | Moving and replacing |
| Ingrained stains | Treatment; uncertain result |
| Re-sanding | Scales with area |

On a very large area this is sometimes the practical answer — half now, half later, or the used part now and the rest when budget allows. It costs more in total because of the second set-up, but it spreads the cost and gets the area you actually use looking right. Worth asking about rather than assuming it is all or nothing.

Generally yes. One set-up, one access arrangement and continuous rotary cleaning all favour larger areas.
Slurry volume, water use, re-sanding, drying time and the amount of furniture to move. The clearing up becomes a bigger share of the job.
Yes. It costs more in total because of the second set-up, but it spreads the cost and gets the part you actually use looking right first.
It helps considerably. A weak outside tap becomes the bottleneck on a large area.
It slows re-soiling and helps colour, but materials scale with area and it needs several dry days plus reapplying every few years.
Clear it completely beforehand, combine it with the drive and paths in one visit, and sweep leaf litter off each autumn.
A large area may run past a day, particularly with re-sanding. We will give a realistic estimate at quotation.
