Area is the easy question. On an estate garden, getting the equipment to the patio is frequently the harder one.
Patio cleaning is quoted on area, surface type, condition, access and finishing work. On a rear estate garden, access is often what separates two apparently similar quotes.
We do not publish a fixed price list for power washing, because area, surface type and how long it has been left all change the job considerably.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 |
| Access through the house | Adds throughout |
| Re-sanding joints | Additional finishing stage |

This is the practical answer on an estate. The set-up, the water arrangement and the travel are shared, the crew is already there, and the awkward rear access is a smaller proportion of a larger job. Doing the drive one month and the patio the next means paying the fixed costs twice — and on modest areas those fixed costs are a large share of each quote.

It depends on area, surface material, condition, access and finishing. On a rear estate garden, access often separates two similar quotes.
Most estate rear gardens have no vehicle access. Hose and equipment run through the house or a narrow gate, the route needs protecting, and the slurry comes back the same way.
Yes. Set-up, water and travel are shared, and on modest areas the fixed costs are a large share of each separate quote.
Most can, at a pressure suited to them. Sandstone is porous, imprinted concrete has a coating that can be stripped, and decking and resin need low pressure.
Block paving does. Washing removes the jointing sand and without it the blocks lose their interlock.
Green algae, black spot and general grime clean up very well. Oil and existing damage are another matter.
Sweep leaf litter off, clear the gutters above it, and cut back whatever shades it — that lengthens the interval considerably.
Usually a couple of years, sooner on a shaded patio.
