A quick wash might remove loose dirt from your patio, but it won't necessarily deal with the green growth, lichen and other organic staining that has become established on the paving. Over time, these deposits can change the appearance of an entire outdoor space, leaving stone and concrete surfaces looking dull even after routine cleaning.
At The Patio Black Spot Removal Company, our professional pressure washing and patio cleaning services in Fareham go beyond simply washing the surface. We use specialist treatments to remove organic staining and uncover the original colour of outdoor paving.
Through cleaning more than 1,000 patios annually, we've found that approximately 99.9% of the staining we encounter is organic. This includes algae, moss, lichen, decomposing vegetation and soil deposits, all of which can contribute to the gradual discolouration of patios.
Our team works with sandstone, limestone, reclaimed York stone, Travertine, porcelain, concrete paving flags and block paving. We select our cleaning products according to the material, helping address stubborn organic growth without relying on unnecessarily powerful water pressure.
If your paving still looks dirty after ordinary washing, our specialist cleaning service may be the solution.

There is a difference between dirt sitting loosely on paving and organic growth that has become attached to it.
Routine sweeping and washing can remove leaves, dust and loose debris, but other deposits may remain firmly established.
Our professional treatments are designed to address the following:
Green algae
Algae can spread across slabs and create a green coating that changes the appearance of the paving. It is particularly noticeable in areas where moisture persists.
Moss
Moss can establish itself between paving joints and around edges, creating green growth that ordinary washing may not fully address.
Black and white lichen
Lichen forms spots that attach firmly to stone and manufactured paving. These marks can remain visible even after loose dirt has been washed away.
Organic staining from fallen leaves
Leaves and vegetation can release material as they decompose, leaving marks that may remain after the debris has been cleared.
Soil and compost residue
Plant containers, garden beds and loose soil can contribute to concentrated areas of discolouration on the paving.
Widespread organic deposits
A combination of growth and residue can cover large areas, making the original colour of the patio difficult to see.
Our comprehensive cleaning approach tackles suitable organic staining across the surface, rather than treating each mark as an unrelated problem.
Removing these deposits can help uncover the paving beneath and improve the appearance of patios, pathways and other appropriate outdoor surfaces.
A Deep Clean removes established organic staining, but new deposits can develop as the paving continues to be exposed to outdoor conditions.
We offer two annual services, allowing customers to choose the level of maintenance they prefer.
Our Annual Patio Clean is designed for homeowners who want their paving professionally cleaned again each year.
We repeat the specialist cleaning treatment to address new organic deposits, followed by a light pressure wash.
This service is available at a reduced price for annual customers, providing an option for keeping patios looking well maintained.
If your patio remains in good condition after its original Deep Clean, another complete pressure wash may not be required.
Our Spray and Leave Maintenance Treatment uses Patio Black Spot Preventer, which helps prevent 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 initial Deep Clean, followed by annual treatments.
Homeowners can arrange professional application or purchase the product separately and follow the instructions for DIY maintenance.
You can request a quotation without needing to calculate the dimensions of your patio yourself.
Our prices are based on the size of the area requiring cleaning and your property's location.
Take several photographs from a distance that show the entire paved surface. These help us estimate the job size more accurately than close-up pictures of individual marks.
Please include your property address and telephone number.

The type of paving influences which cleaning product should be used. Natural stone, concrete slabs and manufactured surfaces have different characteristics, so selecting the correct formulation matters.
Our experience includes:
Sandstone: A natural material with varied colours and textures that can accumulate algae and lichen.
Limestone: Stone that requires a cleaning treatment suited to its composition and surface condition.
Reclaimed York stone: Traditional paving where years of established organic staining may require repeated applications.
Travertine: Natural stone with distinctive pores and surface features that need to be considered during cleaning.
Porcelain: Dense manufactured paving that can still become affected by algae and organic deposits.
Concrete paving flags: Slabs that can develop widespread green growth, moss and lichen.
Block paving: Individual paving units where organic material can accumulate across the blocks and within their joints.
You don't need to know the exact paving material before enquiring. Our team can consider the surface and recommend a suitable cleaning product.
Our Patio Deep Clean is intended for paving affected by established organic staining that ordinary washing struggles to remove.
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 organic deposits. Once it has had sufficient time to work, we complete the clean with a light pressure wash.
This method reduces the need for excessive water pressure, which can damage certain paving materials or disturb pointing.
Our products are biodegradable and acid free, and the area is left pet friendly once cleaning has been completed.
The aim is to remove organic staining and reveal more of the paving's natural colour, with results depending on the material and its condition.
A pressure washer can remove loose surface dirt, but established organic staining often requires a more specialised approach.
With more than 1,000 patios cleaned annually, our team has extensive experience treating different paving materials and removing organic deposits that ordinary washing may leave behind.
We've also developed our own specialist cleaning products, allowing us to select a formulation appropriate for the surface rather than relying entirely on conventional jet washing.
For Fareham homeowners, this means you don't need to research cleaning chemicals or determine exactly what has caused every mark before contacting us.
We can explain whether your patio requires a comprehensive Deep Clean, an Annual Refresh or a preventative Spray and Leave Treatment.
Our focus is on providing professional patio cleaning that removes established organic staining and helps homeowners maintain the appearance of their outdoor paving over time.
