Patio cleaning across Old Swan
We wash porous flags and sandstone gently and let a biocide do the killing, so the stone stays sound and the black spot does not come straight back.
Patio cleaning in Old Swan
Behind the terraces, Old Swan back yards are small, walled and mostly laid with concrete flags, and the high brick boundaries keep them in shade for most of the day. The semis nearer Broadgreen and Queens Drive add longer gardens with Indian sandstone, porcelain and older slab patios. Shade plus still air means green slime and black spot lichen get a grip quickly, so we match the wash to the surface and treat the stone afterwards to hold the growth off.
Common problems with Old Swan patios
Green slime coating walled back-yard flags that see barely an hour of direct sun

Patio cleaning in Old Swan: your questions
Do you cover Old Swan?
Yes, Old Swan and the L13 postcodes is on our regular patch, about 15 minutes out from our base in Prescot.
How much does patio cleaning cost in Old Swan?
There is no set price list, because what you pay comes down to the size of the patio, the type of stone, and whether black spot lichen has rooted into it or it is just green film.
Will pressure washing damage my patio?
Not when the method matches the surface. Indian sandstone and older flags are softer than they look, so we never just blast everything at full power. We check the stone first, then use a rotary surface cleaner at a pressure the slab can take, or soft wash it if the surface calls for that instead.
Can you get the black spots off Indian sandstone?
Black spot is a lichen that roots into the pores of the stone, so jet washing on its own tends to smear it rather than remove it. We treat it with a dedicated black spot remover, let it work, then clean the surface properly. Heavy spotting sometimes needs a second treatment and we’ll tell you that up front.
