A patio can look completely different after years of exposure to the outdoors. The original colour of the paving may be hidden beneath green growth, patches of lichen and staining from surrounding vegetation, making the surface appear older or more worn than it actually is. In many cases, the problem isn't the paving itself but the organic material covering it.
At The Patio Black Spot Removal Company, we provide professional pressure washing and patio cleaning in Eastleigh, helping homeowners remove these deposits and uncover the appearance of their existing outdoor surfaces.
Our team cleans more than 1,000 patios each year, working with natural stone, porcelain, concrete paving flags and other materials. Based on our experience, approximately 99.9% of the staining we encounter is organic, including algae, moss, lichen, decomposing leaves and soil residue.
Rather than treating every patio in exactly the same way, we select specialist cleaning products according to the material and its condition. This allows us to tackle organic staining without depending on unnecessarily powerful jet washing.
If your patio has developed extensive green growth or staining that ordinary cleaning hasn't removed, our team can help improve its appearance.

Outdoor paving can become affected by a mixture of organic deposits. Some form a visible covering across the slabs, while others leave more concentrated patches of staining.
Our cleaning treatments address a broad range of problems.
Algae and green growth
Algae can spread across paving, creating a green layer that changes the overall appearance of the surface. Removing this growth can uncover colours that have become hidden beneath it.
Moss
Moss commonly develops around joints and paving edges, although it can also grow across suitable surfaces. Its presence can make the patio appear overgrown, even when the surrounding garden is well maintained.
Black and white lichen
Lichen can produce firmly attached spots that ordinary pressure washing may struggle to remove. Our specialist treatments are developed to address this type of organic growth.
Leaf and vegetation staining
Fallen leaves and material from nearby plants can leave deposits behind as they break down. These marks may remain visible after the loose debris has been cleared.
Soil and plant pot residue
Compost, garden soil and water draining from plant containers can create discoloured patches, particularly around areas where pots have remained for extended periods.
A professional clean addresses suitable organic staining across the patio, rather than concentrating on one type of mark.
The aim is to remove the accumulated material and improve the appearance of patios, garden paths and other appropriate paved outdoor areas.
After a thorough Deep Clean, there are two ways to keep your paving looking well maintained in the following years.
One involves repeating the original cleaning process. The other uses a preventative product without pressure washing.
Our Annual Patio Clean is for homeowners who want their patio to receive another complete professional clean each year.
We reapply our specialist cleaning treatment to address new organic deposits, then finish with a light pressure wash.
This provides an opportunity to refresh the surface before extensive staining accumulates again.
Annual customers receive a reduced price for this service.
Where the previous Deep Clean has left the paving in good condition, a repeat pressure wash may not be necessary.
Our Spray and Leave Maintenance Treatment uses Patio Black Spot Preventer to help prevent new lichen spots developing. It also removes green algae within a few days.
The product is applied without pressure washing.
We recommend the first application approximately 11 months after the initial Deep Clean, followed by annual treatments.
You can arrange for our team to apply the product or purchase it separately and undertake your own maintenance in accordance with the instructions.
To obtain a quotation, you only need to provide a few details about the patio you'd like cleaned.
We calculate our prices using the size of the area requiring treatment and the location of your property.
Take photographs from a distance so that we can see the entire paved area. Wider pictures allow us to estimate the job size, whereas close-up photographs of individual stains don't show how much paving requires attention.

The material beneath the staining determines which cleaning products should be used. Some paving surfaces are porous, others have a dense manufactured finish, and older stone may have accumulated deposits over many years.
Our team has experience working with a broad range of materials.
Sandstone
Natural paving available in different colours and textures. Organic growth can conceal its individual shades and surface details.
Limestone
A natural stone that requires a cleaning product suitable for its composition and existing condition.
Reclaimed York stone
Traditional paving where organic staining may have accumulated over an extended period. More than one treatment application can sometimes be required.
Travertine
Natural stone with characteristic pores and surface variations that need to be considered when selecting a cleaning method.
Porcelain
Manufactured paving with a relatively dense finish. Although less porous than many natural stones, it can still develop algae and organic deposits.
Concrete paving flags
Slabs that can become covered in moss, lichen and green discolouration, depending on their condition and surroundings.
Block paving
Individual paving units where organic growth can affect the surface of the blocks and the joints between them.
You don't need to identify the material yourself before contacting us. We can consider the paving and recommend a suitable cleaning treatment.
When a patio has accumulated substantial organic growth, simply washing the surface may not remove the material responsible for its discoloured appearance.
Our Professional Patio Deep Clean combines specialist cleaning products with light pressure washing to provide a more thorough treatment.
We select a suitable formulation from our range of professional patio cleaning products, taking the paving material into account.
The treatment is applied to address algae, moss, lichen and other organic deposits. Once it has had sufficient time to work, we complete the cleaning with a light pressure wash.
This reduces the need for excessive water pressure, which can affect certain paving surfaces or disturb pointing.
Our 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 growth and improve the appearance of the paving, although the finished result will depend on the surface and its condition.
Different patios require different levels of attention. Some have widespread green growth, while others contain years of accumulated organic staining or a combination of several deposits.
Through cleaning more than 1,000 patios annually, we've gained practical experience dealing with these variations across natural stone, porcelain, concrete paving and other materials.
We've also developed our own specialist cleaning products, allowing us to select a suitable formulation rather than relying on a single cleaning method for every surface.
For Eastleigh homeowners, this means you don't need to research cleaning chemicals or determine exactly what has caused every mark before making an enquiry.
We can explain whether your patio would benefit from a comprehensive Deep Clean, a repeat Annual Clean or a preventative Spray and Leave Treatment.
Our focus is on making professional patio cleaning straightforward, helping homeowners improve the appearance of their outdoor paving and maintain the results through suitable annual treatments.
