What’s the difference between professional and DIY patio cleaning?
DIY machines can remove loose dirt, but they often lack the water flow, even coverage and treatment process needed for a deep clean. Our professional patio cleaning in Great Torrington combines the right pressure, treatment and rinsing method for a cleaner, longer-lasting finish.
Can pressure washing damage patio slabs?
It can if too much pressure is used too close to the surface. We adjust the pressure and method depending on whether the patio is sandstone, porcelain, concrete or natural stone, helping clean effectively without unnecessary damage.
Can you remove black spot from Indian sandstone?
Yes — black spot is one of the most common issues on Indian sandstone patios. It often needs more than water pressure alone, so we use a suitable treatment process to help break down the black spot before rinsing.
Why do black spots stay after jet washing?
Black spot is a form of lichen that can sit deep in the surface of natural stone. Pressure washing alone may clean the surrounding dirt but leave the darker marks behind, which is why a treatment-based clean is normally recommended.
Do you clean porcelain patios?
Yes — porcelain patios can be cleaned, but they need a different approach to sandstone or concrete. We use suitable pressure and rinsing methods to remove algae, grime and surface dirt without scuffing or overworking the tile.
Can you clean patios without chemicals?
Yes, a water-only pressure wash is possible. However, for algae, moss, lichen, black spot or long-term staining, a treated clean will usually give a much better result and help the patio stay cleaner for longer.
How long does patio cleaning usually take?
Small patios can often be cleaned in a few hours, while larger or heavily stained patios may take longer. Size, access, water flow, drainage and the level of black spot or moss all affect the time needed.
How long will my patio stay clean?
This depends on shade, tree cover, drainage and how damp the area stays. Patios in shaded parts of Great Torrington may see green growth return sooner than open, sunny areas, but a professional clean should last longer than a quick DIY wash.
How much does patio pressure washing cost in Great Torrington?
Most patio pressure washing in Great Torrington starts from around £95 for small patios, rising to £150–£400+ depending on size, surface type, access and how heavily soiled the area is.
Can you clean Indian sandstone patios safely?
Yes. We regularly clean Indian sandstone patios using controlled pressure washing methods suited to the surface. Sandstone can mark if cleaned too aggressively, so we adjust pressure and treatment depending on the condition of the patio.
Do you clean porcelain patios too?
Yes — we clean porcelain patios, natural stone, concrete slabs and paving across Great Torrington and the wider EX38 area, adjusting the cleaning method depending on the surface and contamination level.
Can you remove slippery green algae and black spots?
Yes. We remove algae, moss, black spot, lichen and surface staining that cause patios to look dirty and become slippery — particularly common around Great Torrington where patios are shaded, damp or surrounded by trees.
Do you clean patio steps and pathways too?
Absolutely. We clean patio steps, garden paths, side access paths, walkways and connecting paved areas so the whole outdoor space looks consistent and properly finished.
Can you clean small patios and courtyards?
