Most patios come up far better than owners expect. A few surfaces need real care, and knowing which is yours matters more than the price.
Patio cleaning is quoted on area, the surface material, how long it has been left, and what has to happen around the edges — weeds in joints, steps, borders to protect.
We do not publish a fixed price list for power washing, because area, surface type and how long it has been left all change the job considerably.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 and planting alongside | Protection needed |
| Furniture and pots | Moving and replacing |
| Ingrained stains | Treatment, uncertain result |
| Re-sanding joints | Additional finishing stage |

It depends on area, the surface material, how long it has been left and the work around the edges — weeds in joints, steps and borders to protect.
Most can, but the pressure must suit the surface. Sandstone, limestone and resin bound all need care, and too much pressure leaves permanent marks.
Green algae, black spot and general grime clean up very well. Oil, rust and existing damage are another matter, and washing reveals cracks rather than causing them.
Block paving does. Washing removes the jointing sand, and without it the blocks lose their interlock.
Not if the borders are protected and runoff is directed sensibly, which is part of doing the job properly.
Optional. On porous stone it slows re-soiling and helps colour, but it needs a fully dry surface and reapplying every few years.
Usually a day in reasonable weather, longer in shade or cold. Sealing should wait until it is properly dry throughout.
Usually a couple of years, sooner on a shaded north-facing patio. Sweeping leaf litter off over winter slows it considerably.
