Patio Cleaning Liverpool, a proper jet wash for your patio

Our patio cleaning starts from £90 for a small patio, from £135 for a medium patio and from £180 for a large one. Every price includes a full jet wash, weed removal and biocide treatment, a post-clean rinse and tidy, plus a free bin clean. The exact figure depends on the size of the area and how much algae, black spot or staining we’re dealing with.

Black spot lichen needs more biocide and dwell time than a bit of winter grime, delicate natural stone may need extra care, and a patio that’s overgrown round the edges can push the price towards the top of the range. We always tell you the figure before we start, with no surprises afterwards.

Send us a few photos on WhatsApp for an exact price within about 10 minutes and 10% off. Lots of customers book the front at the same time, and our driveway cleaning can be done on the same visit.

Usually, yes. Send a couple of photos on WhatsApp, ideally the whole patio in one shot plus a close-up of the worst staining, so we can see the type of stone and how deep the black spot goes. A firm, no-obligation quote usually comes back within about 10 minutes, with 10% off.

If the patio is part of a bigger garden job or has awkward drainage, we can pop out to take a proper look. We’re open seven days a week, 7am to 7pm, and we won’t leave you chasing us for a price. Rather ring or use a form? Everything you need is on our contact page.

Yes, when we use the soft-wash approach. High-pressure lances on Indian sandstone can damage the surface and cause the top layers to flake away. We use low-pressure rinsing combined with biocide, which kills the algae and lichen at the root without pressure that could harm the stone or the mortar pointing between slabs.

Sandstone varies a lot in colour and hardness, and some older patios have soft or crumbling joints, so we check what you have and how it’s been laid, then adjust the pressure and treatment to suit. For more on how this stone behaves, read our guide to Indian sandstone driveways and patios.

Yes, using a lower-pressure method and a non-acidic cleaner. Porcelain is non-porous, so algae and grime sit on the surface as a film. The right cleaner lifts it without streaking, then a high-volume rinse finishes it. That also removes stubborn cement film or grout haze.

We keep the pressure angled so we don’t blast out the grout, and we’ll point out any loose joints before we start. The result looks close to the day it was laid, with the original anti-slip texture back and no cloudy film once it dries. If the garden walls next to it have gone green, our brickwork cleaning can tidy those up on the same visit.

Carefully. Our twin-jet surface cleaner contains the water under a dome, so the mess stays on the ground instead of spraying up windows, doors and fences. Before we start we move furniture and pots and plan where the water will drain, so dirty water doesn’t pool in flower beds or run towards the house.

Once the patio is clean, we rinse down nearby fences, walls and windows, wipe down windows and doors if needed, and put your furniture back. If the garden has become overgrown around the patio, our garden restoration can clear it first so we can clean right up to the borders.

Mostly because of green algae that thrives in cold, wet weather. Short days, low sun and constant drizzle mean patios hardly dry out between October and March. Algae spreads into a thin slimy film and moss creeps in from the joints. Shaded patios next to fences, hedges or the house wall are usually the worst.

That film is a real slip risk for children, older relatives and anyone nipping out to the bins in the dark. A professional clean removes the growth and the biocide slows it coming back. Leafy suburbs like Childwall often see this on north-facing back gardens. Our guide on why your patio goes slippery in winter and how to fix it covers simple ways to keep on top of it between cleans.

Some loose material always comes out, especially if the joints were full of moss and weeds, because the growth was often the only thing filling the gaps. On older patios the sand or pointing has usually broken down long before we arrive.

Once the patio is clean and dry, refilling the joints stops weeds and ants moving straight back in. Our re-sanding service brushes fresh jointing sand into block paving and suitable patios, and our sealing service locks the sand in and helps the surface resist stains and regrowth. Some natural stones are better left unsealed, so we only recommend it if it will genuinely help.

Most patio cleans are done within a few hours. A small back patio can be finished in a morning, while a large patio with steps, paths and walls may take most of the day. Badly stained stone needing extra biocide dwell time can add a little longer.

You can usually walk on it once we’ve packed up. It looks darker while wet, so give it a few hours before you judge the colour or put furniture back on light stone. If you have decking too, our decking cleaning can often be fitted into the same day, as we do in places like Wallasey on the Wirral.

Yes. We ask you to keep pets and children indoors while we work, move pots and furniture, and rinse delicate plants with clean water to dilute any splashes. The biocide goes directly on the stone, not into the beds, and we rinse thoroughly afterwards. Once it’s dry, the garden is fine for dogs, cats and children again. Tell us about any pond or fish so we take extra care with run-off.

Every patio clean comes with a free bin clean, handy if your bins live on the patio. Find out more about our bin cleaning. We cover family homes along the coast too, including Ainsdale in Sefton.

Usually because that spot stays wet longer. The most common cause is an overflowing gutter or leaking downpipe dripping onto the slabs. A shady corner under a tree, a dip where water pools, or pots that have stood in one place for months do the same.

We clean and treat those patches with everything else, but it’s worth fixing the cause. If water is spilling from above, our gutter cleaning clears the blockage and flushes the downpipes, and booking it with your patio clean gives that corner a much better chance of staying clean.
