The property and the patio
This was a patio restoration at a beautiful period property in Bledlow Ridge, just outside Chinnor — the sort of country home where the patio is a key feature of the outdoor space.
The old stone had gradually darkened and lost its original finish: general darkening across the surface, organic growth in the shaded areas and a loss of the natural colour in the stone.
The restoration
The aim was not just to wash it down, but to carefully restore the surface while maintaining the integrity of the stone.
The patio was cleaned using a controlled pressure-washing process, working for an even, consistent finish without overworking the surface.
The result
Once completed, the difference was immediately noticeable. The original colour of the stone came back through, and the patio looked far brighter and more in keeping with the property.
What a job like this costs
This restoration was priced at £1,800. That figure reflected the size of the patio, the difficulty level, the specialist knowledge required, and the fact that this was a period property with old stone.
It is the historic price of this specific job, not a current rate — every patio is quoted individually.
