Outdoor paving can become noticeably discoloured long before it needs replacing. A patio that once provided an attractive setting for garden furniture and outdoor dining may gradually develop a covering of green growth, moss and other deposits that conceal the material beneath.
At The Patio Black Spot Removal Company, our pressure washing and patio cleaning services in Andover help homeowners remove this accumulated organic material and recover the appearance of their existing paving.
Through our experience of cleaning over 1,000 patios each year, we estimate that approximately 99.9% of patio staining is organic. Much of the discolouration seen on outdoor surfaces comes from algae, lichen, moss, decaying vegetation and soil residue, rather than permanent changes to the paving itself.
We work with an extensive selection of materials, including sandstone, limestone, reclaimed York stone, Travertine, porcelain and concrete paving flags. Our cleaning treatments are chosen according to the surface, allowing us to address organic growth without depending on excessive water pressure.
If your paving has developed widespread green staining or accumulated deposits that ordinary washing hasn't removed, our team can help.

The surface of a patio is continually exposed to material from the surrounding garden. Rain can wash soil onto the paving, leaves can settle between slabs and moisture can encourage different types of organic growth.
As these deposits accumulate, they may gradually conceal the colours and finishes of the underlying material.
Our professional cleaning treatments address a broad range of organic staining:
A patio may have several of these problems at once. For example, moss may be present around the joints while algae covers the slabs and lichen creates darker marks across particular areas.
Our comprehensive cleaning service addresses suitable organic deposits throughout the paved area, rather than concentrating exclusively on individual spots.
Removing this accumulation can help uncover the appearance of the original material, making garden patios, outdoor seating areas and suitable pathways look noticeably cleaner.
A professional Deep Clean can remove the organic deposits affecting your patio, but the surface will continue to be exposed to outdoor conditions afterwards.
To help maintain the results, we offer two different annual services.
Some homeowners prefer to have their paving thoroughly cleaned each year, rather than waiting for organic growth to become established again.
Our Annual Patio Clean repeats the specialist cleaning application, followed by a light pressure wash to remove new organic deposits.
The service is available at a reduced price for annual customers, providing a way to refresh the appearance of the paving each year.
Where the original Deep Clean has left the paving in good condition, a repeat pressure wash may not be required.
Our Spray and Leave Maintenance Treatment uses Patio Black Spot Preventer, which helps stop new lichen spots developing and removes green algae within a few days.
No pressure washing is involved.
We recommend applying Preventer approximately 11 months after the original Deep Clean, followed by annual treatments.
Customers can arrange professional application or purchase the product separately and follow the instructions for DIY maintenance.
We can calculate a quotation using photographs of your patio, so you don't need to measure the paving before making an enquiry.
The cost depends on the size of the area requiring treatment and your property's location.
Take a few photographs from a distance that show the complete paved surface. These allow us to understand the overall size of the job, rather than relying on close-up images of individual marks.

Outdoor paving comes in a wide range of materials, and each has characteristics that influence how it should be cleaned.
Some natural stones are relatively porous, while manufactured slabs may have denser surfaces or different finishes. Selecting the right treatment helps address organic staining without unnecessarily affecting the paving.
Our experience includes:
Sandstone: A natural material with varying colours, textures and surface characteristics. Organic growth can conceal the different shades within the stone.
Limestone: Requires a cleaning product appropriate for its composition, finish and existing condition.
Reclaimed York stone: Older paving where staining may have accumulated over many years. Multiple applications can sometimes be required to remove deeply established deposits.
Travertine: Natural stone with distinctive pores and surface variations that need to be considered during cleaning.
Porcelain: A manufactured material with a relatively dense surface that can still accumulate algae and other organic deposits.
Concrete paving flags: Common garden slabs that can develop green growth, lichen and discolouration.
Block paving: Individual paving units where moss and other organic material can collect across the blocks and around their joints.
You don't need to know the precise paving material before contacting us. Our team can consider the surface and recommend a suitable cleaning treatment.
Professional Patio Deep Cleaning in Andover
Our Patio Deep Clean is designed for surfaces affected by established organic staining, particularly where ordinary washing hasn't adequately improved the appearance of the paving.
We use specialist patio cleaning products developed by our company, selecting a formulation suited to the material being treated.
The product is applied to address algae, moss, lichen and other suitable organic deposits. After allowing sufficient time for the treatment to work, we complete the cleaning with light pressure washing.
This approach reduces the need for excessively powerful jet washing, which can damage certain paving surfaces or disturb pointing.
Our cleaning products are biodegradable and acid free, and the treated area is left pet friendly once the work has been completed.
The aim is to remove unwanted organic material and reveal more of the paving's natural appearance, although the finished result will depend on the material and its condition.
A paved garden area can serve many purposes, from a small space for outdoor seating to a large patio used for dining and entertaining. Regardless of its size, organic staining can gradually affect the appearance of the surface.
Having cleaned more than 1,000 patios annually, our team has experience working with different paving materials, layouts and levels of accumulated organic growth.
We've also developed our own specialist cleaning products, allowing us to select treatments suited to the material rather than relying entirely on conventional pressure washing.
For Andover homeowners, this means you don't need to choose a product or determine the cause of every mark before contacting us.
We can explain whether a comprehensive Deep Clean would be appropriate or whether your paving would benefit from an Annual Refresh or preventative Spray and Leave Treatment.
Our focus is on providing professional cleaning that helps homeowners maintain the appearance of their existing outdoor paving, with suitable options for continued care in the years ahead.
