Patios are priced much the same way as driveways: on size, surface and condition. As a rough guide, a small patio is around £180 and a larger one around £240, but the honest answer is that the only accurate number is the one you get for your actual patio. Here's what changes the price, and how to get a fixed quote without anyone having to visit.
What changes the price
Three things mostly decide what a patio costs to clean:
- Size. The bigger the area, the longer it takes, so a small courtyard patio costs less than a large wraparound one. This is the main factor.
- Surface. Plain concrete slabs are straightforward. Natural stone, sandstone and porcelain need a gentler, more careful clean at a lower pressure, which takes a little longer to do properly.
- Condition. A patio that's had a light green film for one winter is quicker than one that's been left for years with thick moss in every joint.
Why we clean with water alone
We clean patios with water alone and professional kit, no harsh chemicals. It lifts the algae, moss and grime out of the joints as well as off the surface, and it's safe for your plants, pets and children and for the established planting around the patio. We match the pressure to the surface, so delicate stone is cleaned carefully without being pitted or marked.
How to get a fixed price the same day
You don't need to book a visit for a quote. Send a photo of your patio and your postcode on WhatsApp and Mark will send back a fixed price the same day, usually within the hour. The price we agree is the price you pay, and you only pay once you're happy with the result.
Can I have the patio and drive done together?
Yes, and it's often the most cost-effective way to do it, since we're already there with the kit set up. Send photos of both and Mark will price them together.
