Question 1

How do you treat black spot rather than just rinsing it off

Accepted Answer

Black spot is a lichen that grips into the stone, so a quick rinse will not shift it. We apply a treatment that works on the growth at its source and then clean the surface, which tackles the cause rather than just the surface mark. This gives a far better and longer lasting result than pressure alone.

Question 2

Can you clean a sandstone patio without damaging it

Accepted Answer

Yes, sandstone is cleaned at a controlled pressure suited to natural stone so the surface is not scarred or pitted. Sandstone is softer than concrete, so the technique is adjusted to lift dirt and algae while protecting the finish. We assess the stone before starting to choose the right approach.

Question 3

Will pressure washing crack my porcelain slabs

Accepted Answer

No, porcelain is a hard wearing surface that cleans up well when the right method is used. Porcelain resists staining, so often it simply needs the dirt and algae lifted from the surface and the joints. We adjust the technique to the material so the slabs are cleaned safely.

Question 4

Do you re sand block paving after cleaning it

Accepted Answer

Yes, block paving usually needs the joints re sanded once it has been cleaned, as washing removes the old jointing sand. Kiln dried sand is brushed into the gaps to lock the blocks back in place and help resist weeds. We will explain this as part of the quote so you know what the job includes.

Question 5

How long does it take to clean a typical patio

Accepted Answer

A standard domestic patio is often completed within a few hours, though heavily soiled or larger areas take longer. The time depends on the size, the surface and how much algae and staining has built up. We give a realistic time frame when we quote so you can plan around the work.

Question 6

How often should a patio be cleaned

Accepted Answer

Most patios benefit from a professional clean once a year, though shaded or damp areas may green up sooner. Regular cleaning stops algae and grime building to the point where it becomes slippery and ingrained. We can advise on the right interval for your patio when we visit.
