Patio cleaning in Roby

The generous back gardens behind Roby’s interwar houses hold everything from original concrete flags to newer Indian sandstone and porcelain, and most of them sit under at least some tree shade. Hedged boundaries and tall fences keep the air still, so patios here green over quickly and black spot lichen gets a grip on porous stone. We match the wash to the surface, gentle on sandstone and old flags, firmer on hard porcelain and concrete, and treat the stone afterwards so the growth stays away.

Patio cleaning across Roby

Porous stone gets a soft wash and a biocide rather than raw pressure, so the surface keeps its face while the black spot dies off properly.

Patio cleaning in Roby: your questions

Do you cover Roby?

Yes, Roby and the L36 postcodes is on our regular patch, about 10 minutes out from our base in Prescot.

How much does patio cleaning cost in Roby?

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.
