Proof, not promises
A finish that changes how the garden feels.
Most patios do not need replacing — they need restoration. A controlled wash lifts the dirt and a proper post-treatment kills the algae and black spot at the root, so the stone stays cleaner for longer.
- Removes algae, black spot, moss and years of ground-in dirt
- Safe for sandstone, limestone, porcelain and block paving
- Optional joint re-sanding and re-pointing available as priced add-ons
- Optional sealing to slow re-growth and protect the finish
Every stone, done properly
The right method for your patio.
Different stones need different pressure, different chemistry and a different pair of hands. Andrew has cleaned every surface below on patios across Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
Limestone
Careful cleaning that lifts biological staining without etching or dulling the natural finish. Ideal for wet-look restoration.
Porcelain
Streak-free cleaning of modern porcelain paving using the right chemistry — no acid, no scarring, no residue.
Block & brick paving
Deep clean of the blocks and joints. Optional re-sanding or re-pointing available as a priced add-on to lock the blocks and keep weeds down.
How it works
A calm, careful four-step process.
No rushed jobs, no zebra stripes, no gouged pointing. Every patio gets the same considered process — that is why the results hold up.
- 01
Survey
We look at the stone, drainage and joint condition so we choose the right pressure and chemistry.
- 02
Pre-treat
A specialist biocide is applied to kill algae and lift biological growth from within the stone.
- 03
Clean
Rotary heads at controlled pressure give an even, streak-free finish — no zebra stripes, no gouging.
- 04
Finish
Edges rinsed, area left tidy. Re-sanding and re-pointing are available as priced add-ons if the joints need it — quoted separately so you only pay for what you want.

Patio cleaning questions, answered.
Will pressure washing damage my patio?+
Not when it is done properly. We match pressure and chemistry to the stone — sandstone, limestone, porcelain and block paving all need different settings. We never blast slabs or gouge joints.
Do you re-sand block paving joints?+
Yes — re-sanding and re-pointing are available as priced add-ons. Fresh kiln-dried sand is brushed and vibrated into the joints to lock the blocks and keep weeds down. It is quoted separately so you only pay for what you actually want done.
Can you seal the patio afterwards?+
Yes — sealing is an optional add-on. It slows re-growth of algae, deepens the colour and makes the next clean easier. We only seal once the stone is fully dry, usually on a return visit.
How long does a patio take?+
Most domestic patios are cleaned in a single day, including post-treatment. Larger patios or combined patio + driveway jobs can run into a second day.
How often should I have my patio cleaned?+
Most patios in Oxfordshire benefit from a professional clean every 18–24 months. North-facing patios under trees may need it more often; sunny south-facing patios can go longer.
Do I need to be home?+
No. As long as we have access to an outside tap and the patio itself, you do not need to be there. We will send before and after photos when we finish.
