Our Patio Cleaning Process

 

Step-by-Step Patio Pressure Washing

​

​

1. Edge & Border Cleaning

We start by pressure washing around the edges of your patio with a high-powered turbo lance. This ensures a clean, detailed finish even in the most hard-to-reach spots.

​

2. Deep Surface Cleaning

For the main patio area, we use a rotary flat surface cleaner—a fast and efficient solution that delivers an even clean across a variety of surfaces, including stone, block paving, and concrete patios in Leeds.

​

3. Eco-Friendly Pressure Washing

Our standard cleaning process uses only high-pressure tap water—making it a safe, environmentally friendly patio cleaning solution. For moss, algae, or organic staining, we apply a biodegradable biocide treatment for added effectiveness.

​

4. Blackspot & Lichen Removal in Leeds

Black lichen (blackspot) is a common issue on Leeds patios, especially on Indian sandstone, York stone, and block paving. Pressure washing alone won’t remove it.

We apply a deep-acting sodium hypochlorite solution to safely eliminate blackspot on the day. It’s biodegradable, pet-safe once dry, and the most effective method for long-term blackspot removal in Leeds.

​

5. Low-Pressure Cleaning for Delicate Surfaces

For fragile materials like sandstone, limestone, or crazing paving, we reduce the pressure to avoid any surface damage—while still achieving a high-quality clean.

​

6. Re-Sanding for Block Paving

If your patio is made of block paving, we’ll return once it’s dry to re-sand the joints. This essential step locks the blocks in place, prevents movement, and keeps weeds at bay.

​

7. Weed Control Services

For patios with heavy weed growth, we recommend using a glyphosate weed killer (like Roundup) 1–2 weeks before your clean.
