Restoring Patios, Driveways, and Stonework to Their Very Best 

Patio Cleaning & Pressure Washing Services in the Southeast

Picture this: it’s a bright summer morning, the kettle has just boiled, and you step outside, ready to enjoy a quiet moment on your patio. Instead of a clean, inviting space, you’re greeted by dull paving, unsightly black spots, and a slippery surface underfoot. 

It’s a scene that many homeowners recognise all too well. A patio, driveway, or pathway that once served as the perfect backdrop for barbecues, family gatherings, or peaceful evenings outdoors can quickly lose its appeal when lichen, algae, and general grime take over. 

Beyond appearance, there are safety concerns too. Slippery surfaces can be a real hazard for children running about, visiting relatives, or even pets. Left untreated, stubborn black spots only grow deeper into the stone, making them almost impossible to shift with ordinary cleaning methods. 

This is where The Patio Black Spot Removal Company Ltd comes in. We are specialists in patio cleaning and pressure washing services, trusted by homeowners and businesses across the United Kingdom. From our base in Surrey, we travel over 100,000 miles every year to deliver outstanding results for both new and returning customers. 

Why Outdoor Surfaces Lose Their Appeal 

Your outdoor spaces are constantly exposed to the elements. Rain, frost, sunlight, and shade all take their toll on stone and paving, while the everyday wear from furniture, footfall, or even parked cars accelerates the process. 

Over time, the following issues typically appear: 

• Black Spot (Lichen): Recognisable as tiny, dark circles that embed themselves deep into stone surfaces. Once established, they resist most DIY cleaning methods. 
• Moss and Algae: Often flourishing in shaded or damp corners, these leave your patio or decking slippery, unsafe, and unattractive.  
• General Grime and Pollution: A build-up of dirt, stains, and airborne pollutants that dulls the natural colour of your stone. 

While it may be tempting to reach for a jet washer, using the wrong pressure or equipment can do more harm than good. High-pressure washing can damage the surface of your patio, strip away pointing, and still fail to deal with the root of the problem. That’s why a professional approach is essential. 

Beyond appearance, there are safety concerns too. Slippery surfaces can be a real hazard for children running about, visiting relatives, or even pets. Left untreated, stubborn black spots only grow deeper into the stone, making them almost impossible to shift with ordinary cleaning methods. 

This is where The Patio Black Spot Removal Company Ltd comes in. We are specialists in patio cleaning and pressure washing services, trusted by homeowners and businesses across the United Kingdom. From our base in Surrey, we travel over 100,000 miles every year to deliver outstanding results for both new and returning customers. 

Our Patio Cleaning Treatments 

At The Patio Black Spot Removal Company, we believe no two patios are the same. That’s why we’ve developed three distinct treatment options, each tailored to deliver the best possible results for your needs. 

Initial Patio Clean – Black Spot Removal Treatment 

This is our most comprehensive service, designed to restore your patio to its original beauty. Using our specially formulated Patio Black Spot Remover, we target lichen, algae, white spots, and stubborn organic staining.  

Once the treatment has done its work, we carry out a light pressure wash to rinse away residue and reveal the natural colour of your stone beneath. Importantly, we never use harsh, high-powered jets, which can cause long-term damage. 

Annual Preventer Treatment 

Prevention is always better than cure. Our spray-and-leave Preventer treatment works by killing off the invisible spores that land on your patio throughout the year. By stopping these spores before they have a chance to germinate, we ensure your patio remains spotless for the next twelve months.  

The Preventer treatment also eliminates green algae within just a few days. Best of all, there is no need for pressure washing during this process – it’s simple, safe, and highly effective. 

Annual Refresh Treatment 

If you prefer to keep your patio looking immaculate year after year, our Refresh treatment is the perfect choice. This is effectively a repeat of our full Black Spot Removal Treatment, carried out at a reduced annual rate.  

By applying Patio Black Spot Remover followed by a gentle pressure wash, we restore the clean finish you enjoyed the first time around, while ensuring that black spots and algae stay away for another 12 months.  

Beyond Patios – Our Wider Outdoor Cleaning Services 

While patios are our speciality, our expertise extends to a wide range of outdoor surfaces: 

• Driveways: From organic stains and tyre marks to weeds and moss, we restore block paving, resin, tarmac, and concrete driveways to their original, well-kept condition. A clean driveway doesn’t just look better – it also enhances the kerb appeal of your entire property.  
• Decking: Timber and composite decking can quickly become treacherous when algae and grime take hold. Our gentle yet effective cleaning process restores grip, improves safety, and revives the natural beauty of your decking.  
• Stone Pathways and Heritage Surfaces: Natural stone such as York stone, sandstone, and limestone requires a careful touch. We lift years of staining while preserving the integrity of delicate or historic paving.  
• Commercial Outdoor Areas: Schools, hotels, public spaces, and businesses depend on us to maintain clean, safe, and welcoming environments. Our commercial cleaning is discreet, efficient, and timed to minimise disruption. 

Our Proven Process 

We’ve honed our approach through years of hands-on experience, ensuring every customer receives the highest standard of care.
