You have probably watched your patio get darker and greener over the years, and noticed that the black spots will not come off with a domestic pressure washer. A tired, slippery patio is not just unsightly — it is unsafe for bare feet and outdoor entertaining, and it makes the whole garden look neglected. You may have thought about replacing the slabs, but in most cases the slabs are sound — it is the algae, black spot and ingrained dirt that make them look past their best. We can lift years of weathering from the paving slabs and pointing and leave a fresh, clean surface ready to use, often the same day you call.
When You Need Patio Pressure Cleaning
You need patio pressure cleaning when the surface has a green film or black spot algae that turns slippery when wet, when the pointing between the slabs is growing moss or weeds, or when the whole area just looks tired and stained. The damp, shaded gardens common across Iver, Gerrards Cross, Beaconsfield and the wider three-county area are perfect conditions for black spot algae, which embeds itself in the surface of the slabs and shrugs off domestic pressure washers. Black spot is a particular problem on natural stone and concrete paving that stays damp for long periods, and once it takes hold it spreads across the whole patio. Waiting means the algae gets deeper, the pointing deteriorates as moss roots widen the joints, and the patio becomes increasingly unsafe and unattractive. A professional clean with the right pressure and a specialist treatment for stubborn black spot is far cheaper than re-laying the patio, and it restores the surface to a condition you may not have seen since it was first laid.
Our Patio Cleaning Process
We assess the paving type — slabs, concrete, natural stone — and set the pressure to clean without etching or damaging the surface, because the wrong pressure can ruin natural stone. We lift black spot algae, green film and ingrained dirt from the slabs, clean the joints and pointing, and clear all the debris away from the site. For stubborn black spot that has embedded itself in the surface, we can apply a specialist treatment after cleaning that kills the root and slows regrowth significantly — something a domestic pressure washer alone will not achieve. We use a fan lance for an even clean rather than a pinpoint jet that can etch the surface, and we adjust the pressure for each material. We can also clean your driveway and pathways at the same time for a complete exterior refresh. Most patio cleaning is done in a single visit, and the surface is ready to use within hours.
Patio Cleaning Cost in Iver
The cost depends on the size of the patio, the paving type, the severity of the staining and algae, and whether a specialist black spot treatment is needed. A small patio with light algae costs less than a large entertaining area with heavy black spot that needs specialist treatment.
