If your patio in St Albans has lost its shine, your driveway in Watford looks stained and overgrown, or your decking in Hitchin feels slippery underfoot, it might be time to give your outdoor spaces some expert attention.
Across Hertfordshire, from Harpenden to Hemel Hempstead and Hertford to Stevenage, patios and pathways face constant wear from the weather, traffic, and time.
At The Patio Black Spot Removal, we help homeowners and businesses across Hertfordshire restore and protect their outdoor areas.
Using a combination of specially developed cleaning treatments and light, controlled pressure washing, we remove years of dirt, algae, and black spot lichen safely and effectively.
Our goal is simple: to make your stonework look new again, without the risk of damage that comes with harsh jet washing.
Hertfordshire’s mix of leafy suburbs, rural gardens, and busy commuter towns means outdoor surfaces are exposed to a wide range of conditions.
Damp winters, shaded patios, and air pollution from nearby London all play their part in creating the perfect environment for moss, algae, and black spot to thrive.
Black spot lichen is a familiar problem across the county. These tiny, hard black marks attach themselves deep into stone, growing roots that resist ordinary cleaners. Over time, they make patios appear dull, patchy, and aged.
Many people turn to jet washers to deal with the problem, but blasting the surface often removes pointing, roughens stone, and still leaves the stains behind.
Our approach is different. We use biodegradable, acid free solutions that dissolve the growth safely, followed by gentle pressure washing that restores the stone’s natural colour and texture.
Our signature service removes organic growth, lichen, and staining from all types of stone and paving.
We apply our specialist Patio Black Spot Remover, which works deep into the surface, then finish with a low-pressure rinse to wash away residue.
Whether you have sandstone in St Albans, limestone in Watford, or block paving in Hatfield, the results are always impressive.
To stop black spots returning, we offer our Preventer Treatment — a spray-and-leave solution that removes microscopic spores before they can germinate.
It also clears green algae within a few days, keeping patios fresh without the need for pressure washing.
If you like to keep your patio looking pristine throughout the year, our Refresh Treatment repeats the original deep clean at a reduced annual rate.
It’s an easy and affordable way to maintain your patio in perfect condition.
Driveways in Hertfordshire take a lot of punishment from cars, weather, and weeds.
Our driveway cleaning service restores block paving, tarmac, and resin surfaces, removing organic stains, dirt, and moss to leave a clean, smart finish that boosts kerb appeal.
Shaded decks quickly become slippery when algae takes hold.
We clean and treat both timber and composite decking, removing grime and restoring grip so your decking is safe, clean, and ready to enjoy.
We clean a wide range of materials including York stone, limestone, sandstone, and heritage paving.
Our products are gentle but effective, lifting years of staining while preserving the integrity and character of the stone.
From pubs and schools to hotels and offices, we also provide commercial outdoor cleaning across Hertfordshire.
Businesses in places like Hemel Hempstead, St Albans, and Watford rely on us for reliable, discreet cleaning that keeps their premises looking professional.
