Why patios need cleaning
Shade, damp and summer use
Patios often sit in the shadiest, dampest part of the garden, so they collect different problems from driveways. A proper clean makes them safer and nicer to use.
- Green algaeDamp, shaded paving turns green and can become slippery underfoot.
- Black spots, staining and rust marksSpots and dark staining build up on many types of stone over time, and garden furniture can leave rust marks. Rust removal can be included in your patio clean.
- Ready for summerClean paving that matches the rest of the garden again.
How patio cleaning works
The right clean, sealed to last
Concrete slabs, Indian sandstone and other natural stone, slate, porcelain and block paving each need different care, so the method is chosen for what your patio is made of.
Assessment
We look at what the patio is made of, how much algae and staining there is and what is around it, such as plants, lawns or a pond.
Your paving checked first
The deep clean
Algae, dirt and ground-in grime are lifted from the slabs and the joints with equipment suited to the stone.
Slabs and joints cleaned
Joints refilled where needed
Cleaning can wash the sand out from between slabs and blocks. Where it does, the joints are refilled with fresh kiln-dried sand to suit the patio, which helps hold the paving firm and keeps weeds out.
Joints re-sanded
Rinsed and finished, decking too
The patio is rinsed down and the debris cleared away. If you have timber decking beside it, that can be cleaned at the same visit, so the whole garden matches again.
Patio and decking
Sealed to last
The step most patio cleaners skip. Once the slabs are dry, a sealer suited to the stone is applied. It helps the patio resist staining from food, drink and leaves, slows algae and weeds coming back and deepens the colour of the stone, so the clean lasts far longer.

Patio sealing
Protected for longer
After the clean, a sealer suited to the stone is applied. It resists stains from spills and leaves, slows algae and weeds coming back and brings out the colour of the stone.

Questions
Patio cleaning Ipswich: your questions
Can’t see your question? The office is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
How much does patio cleaning cost in Ipswich?
Every patio is quoted individually. The price depends on its size, what it is made of, how much algae and staining there is and whether you would like it sealed. Photographs help the office quote.
What kinds of patio do you clean?
Concrete slabs and flagstones, Indian sandstone and other natural stone such as limestone, York stone and slate, porcelain, crazy paving and block paving, as well as garden paths. Tell us what you have, or add a photograph, and the office will confirm what suits it.
Will cleaning damage my patio?
The method is chosen for the stone and its condition, and we explain how we will clean it before work begins.
Do I need to be home?
Not always, but we need access to the garden and an outside tap, with the patio clear of furniture.
Do you clean commercial patios and walkways?
Yes. We clean and seal courtyards, outdoor seating areas, walkways and entrances for businesses, planned around your opening hours.
Can you remove rust marks from my patio?
Often, yes. Rust marks from garden furniture and other metal can be treated as part of your patio clean. Mention them in your quote request, with a photograph if you can.
Do you clean decking as well?
Yes. Timber decking can be cleaned at the same visit as your patio. Mention it in your quote request, with a photograph if you can.
Do you re-sand patio joints?
Yes, where they need it. Cleaning can wash sand out of the joints, so fresh kiln-dried sand is brushed back in afterwards.
Can you seal my patio after cleaning?
Often, yes. It depends on the stone and its condition, and the office will tell you whether sealing suits yours.
Can you clean my driveway at the same time?
Yes. Add driveway cleaning to the same quote request.
