Patios and paved outdoor areas are great spaces for relaxing in, or for entertaining guests. However, they need a helping hand to stay looking their best throughout the year!
Over time, they accumulate moss, algae and other organic matter that spoils their look and increases the risk of slips and falls.
While it's possible to clean patio slabs yourself, it can be a messy, time-consuming job, and the results aren't always perfect.

Our team specialises in cleaning all types of patio surfaces with precision and care. From natural stone to paving slabs and wooden decking, we have the expertise to determine and apply the best cleaning methods for each unique material, ensuring we clean your patio without causing any damage.
Our experienced patio cleaners use professional-grade pressure washers to guarantee an even distribution of water and cleaning solution across the entire area. This approach effectively removes dirt, stains, and build-up, restoring your patio to its original beauty. Additionally, our team stays updated with the latest cleaning techniques and products, ensuring we deliver perfect results every time.
Our patio cleaning process involves several key steps to ensure your patio is thoroughly cleaned and restored to its best condition:
We start by assessing the condition of your patio, identifying areas with stubborn stains, weeds, and dirt. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to tailor our cleaning approach to address the specific issues affecting your patio.
We carefully prepare the area by removing loose debris, plant pots, and any other obstacles. Additionally, we secure garden furniture and patio furniture to ensure a clear and safe working area. This step is crucial for an efficient and thorough cleaning process.
Using professional-grade pressure washers, we clean patio slabs, paving stones, and other surfaces, effectively removing dirt, grime, and build-up. For more stubborn stains, we apply specialised cleaning solutions that break down tough dirt, ensuring a deep clean. The pressure washer's power is adjusted to suit the type of patio surface, whether it’s natural stone, concrete, or wooden decking.
We carefully scrub affected areas with appropriate tools to dislodge any remaining dirt and stains. Following this, we rinse the entire patio with clean water to ensure no residue is left behind. This step is essential for achieving a spotless and residue-free surface.
After the cleaning process, we reposition garden furniture and plant pots, ensuring everything is back in place. We conduct a final inspection to confirm that the patio is thoroughly cleaned and ready for use, leaving your outdoor space looking pristine and inviting.
This approach guarantees that every aspect of your patio cleaning is handled with precision and care, delivering outstanding results that enhance the beauty and functionality of your outdoor space.
For tougher stains, such as oil, grease, or deeply ingrained dirt, our patio cleaners apply advanced cleaning solutions specifically formulated to tackle these persistent problems. These specialised solutions are chosen to be both powerful and safe for your patio surfaces.
Once applied, we allow these solutions to sit on the surface for a designated period, enabling them to break down the stains at a molecular level. After the solution has had time to work its magic, we thoroughly scrub the affected areas with the appropriate tools to ensure the stains are lifted effectively.
Finally, we rinse the patio with clean water to remove any residual solution and debris. Our thorough and systematic approach guarantees that even the most stubborn stains are effectively removed, leaving your patio looking as good as new.
Our patio cleaning services are specifically designed to keep your patio looking immaculate throughout the year. We understand that different seasons present different challenges for patio maintenance.

We fully understand that many clients prefer to clean patio slabs or decked areas themselves, and there are several ways to do this. However, some can be harmful to certain materials and should be used with care.
For example, you can buy or hire a pressure washer to do the job, although pressure washing is never as simple or straightforward as most people might think! It's very easy to damage the surface (especially on block paving or concrete/stone slabs) if the pressure is too high or the angle of the nozzle is wrong.
You could also buy a patio cleaner, although these ready-mixed solutions are only really effective when combined with a pressure washer.
Another method involves using a white vinegar and water solution with a scrubbing brush or stiff broom for cleaning patio slabs. While this can be fairly effective, most experts warn against using vinegar due to its acidic nature. This stuff is especially bad news for limestone or concrete pavers, as it will etch into the surface and damage them permanently.
Vinegar will also kill any plants in the area, so you'll need to take care not to rinse it off into nearby flowerbeds.
As for a 'bleach solution', this is rarely a good idea for use in outdoor areas! Bleach is harmful to the environment in the short term and can be a hazard for plants, pets, wildlife and children.
The only safe DIY solution is the soapy water method, with warm water and plenty of elbow grease!
In the end, if you want perfectly clean patio slabs, the best option is to hire WM Wash!
