A patio can lose much of its visual appeal without the paving itself being damaged. Years of algae, moss, lichen and organic residue can conceal the colours beneath, leaving natural stone and manufactured slabs looking darker, greener or less attractive than they once did.
At The Patio Black Spot Removal Company, we offer professional pressure washing and patio cleaning services in Winchester, specialising in removing the organic material responsible for discolouration across outdoor paving.
Our experience cleaning more than 1,000 patios annually has shown that approximately 99.9% of patio staining is organic in origin. This means that many surfaces which appear permanently discoloured may benefit considerably from specialist cleaning.
We work with sandstone, limestone, reclaimed York stone, Travertine, porcelain, concrete paving flags and other materials, using cleaning treatments selected for the individual surface. Whether your garden features traditional paving or a contemporary patio, our focus is on achieving a thorough clean while respecting the material's original characteristics.
If your patio's appearance has changed beneath years of organic growth, our experienced cleaners can help remove the deposits responsible.

Outdoor paving doesn't necessarily lose its colour as it ages. In many cases, the surface becomes covered in organic deposits that gradually obscure the stone beneath.
Our professional cleaning treatments address several common causes of this discolouration.
These deposits can affect different sections of a patio in different ways. Some slabs may have widespread green growth, while others contain darker lichen marks or staining around plant containers.
Our comprehensive cleaning service is intended to remove suitable organic material across the paving, helping uncover the appearance of the surface underneath.
For homeowners with older natural stone, this can be particularly noticeable where accumulated growth has hidden the original variations in colour.
The same principle applies to modern patios, garden paths and other suitable paved areas.
Once a patio has received a comprehensive clean, there are different ways to maintain its appearance in the years that follow.
Some customers prefer a full professional cleaning visit each year. Others choose a preventative treatment when the paving remains in good condition.
Our Annual Patio Clean provides a repeat of the specialist cleaning process for homeowners who want their paving thoroughly treated each year.
We apply the cleaning product to address new organic deposits before completing the work with light pressure washing.
The service is offered at a reduced price for annual customers, providing an option for maintaining the appearance of previously cleaned patios.
Where the original Deep Clean has successfully removed established staining and the paving remains in good condition, another pressure wash may not be required.
Our Spray and Leave Maintenance Treatment uses Patio Black Spot Preventer to help stop new lichen spots developing and remove green algae within a few days.
The application doesn't involve pressure washing.
We recommend the first treatment approximately 11 months after the original Deep Clean, with further applications annually.
Customers can arrange professional application or purchase Preventer separately for DIY use, following the manufacturer's instructions.
You can ask us to price your patio cleaning without needing to calculate the exact dimensions yourself.
We determine quotations according to the size of the paved area and your property's location.
To provide the information we need, take photographs from a distance that show the full patio. Pictures of the entire space help us estimate the area more accurately than close-ups of individual stains.

The appearance of a patio depends partly on the material from which it was constructed. Natural stone often contains individual colour variations and surface textures, while manufactured paving may have a more uniform finish.
These characteristics matter when selecting a cleaning treatment.
Our experience covers a broad selection of paving materials:
Reclaimed York stone: Traditional stone that can develop deeply established organic staining. Several treatment applications may be needed to remove accumulated deposits and uncover more of its original appearance.
Sandstone: Available in a variety of natural shades and textures, which can become less visible when algae and lichen spread across the surface.
Limestone: A natural paving material that requires a cleaning formulation appropriate for its composition and condition.
Travertine: Recognisable for its pores and distinctive surface characteristics, which should be considered during cleaning.
Porcelain: Dense manufactured paving that can still develop green growth and surface deposits despite its relatively low porosity.
Concrete paving flags: Manufactured slabs with different textures and finishes that can accumulate moss, algae and other organic material.
Block paving: Individual paving units where organic growth can become established across the blocks and within the joints.
We don't expect homeowners to identify the exact paving material before enquiring. Our team can consider the surface and advise on a suitable cleaning approach.
When a patio has become heavily affected by organic growth, routine washing may not be enough to uncover the paving's original appearance.
Our Professional Patio Deep Clean uses specially developed cleaning products to address the deposits responsible for this discolouration.
We select a suitable formulation from our range of patio cleaning products, taking the paving material into account.
The treatment is applied to tackle algae, moss, lichen and other organic staining. Once it has had time to work, the surface receives a light pressure wash to complete the process.
This approach reduces the need for excessive jet washing, which can affect certain paving surfaces or disturb the pointing between slabs.
Our treatments are biodegradable and acid free, and the area is left pet friendly after cleaning has been completed.
The finished appearance will depend on the material and its existing condition. Natural colour variations, surface wear and older characteristics of the paving may remain visible after the organic staining has been removed.
Our aim is to clean the surface effectively while retaining the qualities that give the paving its individual appearance.
Cleaning a patio successfully involves more than removing the material visible on top. The underlying paving must also be considered, particularly where natural stone has distinctive textures, colours or signs of age.
Through cleaning over 1,000 patios every year, we've developed practical experience with a wide range of natural and manufactured paving materials.
We've also created our own specialist cleaning products, allowing us to select treatments suited to different surfaces and types of organic growth.
For Winchester homeowners, this means you don't need to choose a cleaning chemical or determine exactly what has caused the discolouration before contacting us.
Whether you have a traditional stone patio requiring a comprehensive Deep Clean or modern paving that would benefit from annual maintenance, we can explain the available treatments and help you decide how to proceed.
Our focus is on removing unwanted organic staining and improving the appearance of your outdoor paving, while taking its material, age and condition into consideration.
