Real Results
A real Kent job — a slippery, algae-covered patio brought back to a safe, clean, like-new finish.
Why It Matters
Patios take the worst of the shade and damp, so algae, moss and black spot build up quickly — and a green patio isn't just unsightly, it's genuinely slippery underfoot. A proper clean makes the whole garden or seating area usable again, and safe for kids and older visitors.
We clean patios across Folkestone, Hythe, Sandgate, Hawkinge and the surrounding Kent villages.
What's Included
Surfaces We Clean
Indian sandstone, porcelain, limestone, concrete slabs, natural stone and pattern-imprinted concrete all need slightly different handling. Softer natural stone gets a gentler soft wash rather than high pressure, so it comes up clean without pitting or damage. We pick the right method for your patio and treat it accordingly.
How We Work
Common Questions
Not when it's matched to the surface. Hard surfaces like concrete take a normal pressure clean; softer natural stone such as sandstone or limestone gets a gentler soft wash so it isn't pitted or marked. We choose the right method for your patio before we start.
We treat black spot (the stubborn dark lichen spots) and lift most of it. It's one of the toughest things to shift and very heavy cases don't always come back 100%, but we'll tell you honestly what to expect for your slabs.
Yes — Indian sandstone, porcelain, limestone, natural stone and concrete slabs. Porcelain cleans up beautifully and natural stone gets a gentler soft wash to protect the surface.
We remove it all and can apply a biocide treatment that slows regrowth considerably. Outdoors nothing stays green-free forever, but a proper clean plus treatment keeps it back a long time and makes upkeep easy.
It depends on the size and surface of the patio and how much build-up there is. Quotes are free and no-obligation — send a photo or get in touch for a clear price.
