Why Patio Cleaning Is Important

Outdoor paving is constantly exposed to moisture, shade and organic contamination. Over time this causes patios to become:

• Slippery and unsafe
• Dull and discoloured
• Covered in algae, moss and weeds
• Affected by black spot fungus
• Difficult to clean with domestic equipment

Professional cleaning restores both appearance and safety.

Black Spot Removal (Aspergillus niger)

One of the biggest problems on modern patios — especially Indian sandstone — is black spot fungus (Aspergillus niger).

This stubborn fungal growth:

• Penetrates deep into porous stone
• Cannot be removed by standard pressure washing
• Causes permanent dark staining if untreated

We use super-heated water and professional biocide treatments to safely break down and remove black spot contamination and restore the natural colour of the stone.

Suitable Patio Surfaces

We clean a wide range of patio materials including:

• Indian sandstone
• Limestone and natural stone
• Block paving
• Concrete slabs
• Imprinted concrete
• Yorkstone and crazy paving

Commercial Van-Mounted Cleaning Equipment

We have invested in van-mounted pressure washing equipment and a Mazzoni hot water / steam boiler, allowing us to deliver superior results.

Benefits include:

• Hot water and steam cleaning capability
• Improved removal of algae, oil and fungus
• Faster setup and reduced disruption
• Far better results than domestic machines

We also clean:
• Garden paths
• Outdoor furniture
• Garden walls
• External hard surfaces

Safe Weed & Algae Treatment (PA1 & PA6A Qualified)

We are fully qualified to apply professional weed and algae treatments.

• PA1 & PA6A pesticide application qualifications
• Fully insured and licensed to apply herbicides
• Treatments carried out in line with HSE guidance

Many contractors offer weed spraying without the correct qualifications or insurance. Our training ensures work is carried out safely and legally.

Environmental Protection & Legal Compliance

Environmental protection is a key part of professional exterior cleaning.

Under Section 118 of the Water Industry Act, contaminated water and chemicals must not enter surface water drains.

We take this seriously and:

• Carry out Environmental Impact Assessments where required
• Control and manage water runoff
• Prevent chemicals entering drainage systems
• Use licensed biodegradable treatments where possible
• Collect and dispose of waste responsibly

All waste is handled in accordance with our Environment Agency Upper Tier Waste Carrier Licence.
