Patio Cleaningin Bordon & Hampshire
Make your patio easier to enjoy with pressure washing and surface treatment, starting from £100 and tailored to the paving and joint condition.
Patio Cleaning for your property
Patio cleaning addresses the dirt and biological growth that accumulate on paving exposed to rain, shade and garden debris. A3 Exterior Cleaning Ltd offers pressure washing and softwash treatments, with patio cleaning starting from £100 for surface pressure washing and treatment. The final quote depends on size, condition and scope; the starting figure is not a fixed price for every garden or every additional restoration task.
This service suits homeowners whose outdoor seating area is covered in grime or growth, or who want a clearer view of the paving before deciding on repairs. Cleaning can improve the surface without replacing slabs, but it cannot make an uneven patio level or repair rocking paving. If the joints are crumbling, ask about patio re-pointing alongside the clean so the two jobs are considered in the right order.
Treat the problem, not just its appearance
Algae and damp debris can contribute to slippery patches, particularly in shaded areas or where water sits. Dirt also makes it harder to see cracks and joint wear. These are reasons to assess the patio, not proof that replacement is necessary. If the surface remains wet because of poor falls or blocked drainage, cleaning alone will not remove the conditions that encourage growth.
Using too much pressure can disturb weak mortar or mark softer paving. Another mistake is sealing a dirty or unsuitable surface in the hope of covering over its problems. Permanent weathering and variations between old repairs may remain visible after cleaning. A useful quote explains what can be removed, what may remain and whether joints need separate attention.
From your enquiry to the finished job
- 1
Tell Tom what needs attention
Start with the address or postcode and describe patio slabs, surface growth and existing joints. Photographs from a safe position help show the overall area and specific concerns. Mention the material if you know it, previous treatments and any existing damage. Explain whether you want this service alone or alongside related exterior work. The first step is defining the problem, not committing you to a package before the property has been considered.

Assess condition and agree the quote
The quotation is free and without obligation, and the supplied process bases pricing on property size, condition and scope. Access and the existing finish matter as well as the visible dirt. Patio cleaning starts from £100 for surface pressure washing and treatment. Patio re-pointing and protective patio sealing are available as separately agreed work, not automatically included in that starting price. Ask which areas are included, what may remain after the work and whether repairs or finishing tasks need a separate decision. This makes the next step clear before you accept.

Confirm preparation and practical access
Describe the paving, loose slabs and failing joints, and send photographs of both the overall area and problem patches. Mention steps, drainage and planting. Clear movable furniture or pots where agreed, without lifting heavy items unsafely. Ask how access to the home or garden will be managed and what, if anything, needs moving. Do not attempt risky high-level preparation or use an extra cleaning product before the method is agreed. Weather and material requirements may affect arrangements.

Carry out the agreed service
The service approach is pressure washing and softwash treatments chosen for the patio surface. The work should stay within the areas and treatment agreed for the property. Cleaning does not become structural repair simply because a defect is uncovered. If additional work is proposed, ask for its scope and price to be explained rather than assuming it belongs to the original quote. Material-specific instructions are more useful than a universal claim about every surface.

Review the result and keep the care advice
Sweep away leaves and soil before they sit wet on the surface. Check drainage where growth returns quickly. If joints have been renewed or a protective finish added, follow the product-specific curing advice before moving furniture back or washing the patio again. Review any remaining marks or defects against the agreed scope. Payment is by bank transfer after completion and receipt of the invoice, with no upfront deposit. Ask questions before applying a new finish or arranging further maintenance.
What this service helps you achieve
Less surface build-up
Removing algae and grime addresses contamination on the paving without pretending to correct drainage or structural movement.
Repair decisions made clearly
A cleaner surface makes the condition of joints and slabs easier to assess before choosing re-pointing or other work.
An identifiable starting price
Patio cleaning starts from £100, with a property-specific quote explaining the actual area and treatment included.
Understand your patio cleaning options
Natural stone, concrete and porcelain
Patios can contain several materials, even within one garden. Natural stone may show different mineral colours and absorb marks differently from concrete slabs, while porcelain and its joints need their own compatibility checks. Tell Tom about the paving and previous treatments if known. The method should follow the surface rather than assuming all slabs need the same pressure or product.
Pressure washing and treatment
Pressure washing and softwash treatment have different roles. Physical cleaning removes surface contamination; treatment can address biological growth where suitable. More force is not automatically a better result. The condition of the slab face, edges and mortar helps determine what is appropriate, and fragile or failed joints should be identified before cleaning starts.
Re-pointing and protective sealing
Cleaning may expose joints that were already deteriorating beneath dirt and weeds. A3 offers patio re-pointing and protective patio sealing as separately agreed work. Re-pointing renews joint material but depends on stable paving. Sealing needs a clean, suitable surface and a compatible product; it does not repair loose slabs, failed bedding or drainage. Agree the preparation, sequence, price and return-to-use instructions for any joint or sealing work rather than assuming it is included in the £100 starting-price clean.
Using the garden around the work
Plant pots, furniture and outdoor equipment can hide parts of the patio and affect runoff. Mention delicate planting and access through the home, along with drains or steps. The agreed clean should identify which areas are included, especially paths or adjoining paving. A patio quote does not automatically include every hard surface elsewhere in the garden.
What to include in your enquiry
For patio cleaning, the most useful enquiry explains the surface, the problem and the result you are hoping for. Include an overall photograph and a closer view taken safely, the postcode, approximate area if known and any previous treatment. Mention shared access, nearby planting or delicate finishes. You do not need to diagnose the cause yourself; describing what you have noticed is more useful than requesting a method that may not suit the material.
Cleaning scope and property use
The supplied business brief focuses on residential properties. Describe who uses the affected area and whether access needs to remain available during the work. For a shared, rented or non-residential site, ask Tom to confirm suitability, permission and scope rather than assuming a commercial package or licensing claim. The same service name does not settle access, responsibility or preparation requirements for every type of property.
Know the boundary between care and repair
A cleaner surface can reveal marks and defects that were previously obscured. Before booking patio cleaning, distinguish removable contamination from damage to patio slabs, surface growth and existing joints. If a repair or a different specialist is needed, keep that decision separate from the cleaning quote. The useful outcome is an accurately scoped job with realistic expectations, not an unsupported promise that exterior cleaning restores every material to a new condition.
Questions Answered
Patio cleaning starts from £100 for surface pressure washing and treatment. Patio re-pointing and protective patio sealing are available as separately agreed work, not automatically included in that starting price. The final quote depends on the area, condition and scope rather than the service name alone. Describe access restrictions, existing damage and any related work you want included. Quotes are free and without obligation, so you can check the proposed work before deciding. A starting price, where supplied, is not a promise that every property will cost the same.
Patio slabs, surface growth and existing joints need assessment, and size, access, weather and any drying or product requirements can affect arrangements. Ask Tom for an estimate for your actual property and whether access needs restricting afterwards. Avoid planning furniture, vehicles or further work around an assumed same-day finish.
The stated service approach is pressure washing and softwash treatments chosen for the patio surface. Suitability depends on the material and existing condition, so tell Tom about coatings, previous treatments and defects before agreeing the work. The aim is an appropriate service for the property, not a single method applied indiscriminately. No chemical brand, universal pressure setting or identical result for every surface has been specified.
The supplied two-year guarantee applies to the biocide treatment on roof cleans and must not be transferred to a different service. Ask about the actual quoted scope and any product-specific guidance before accepting. Public liability insurance is also distinct from a guarantee of a particular appearance or service lifespan.
There is no fixed lifespan supplied for this service. Exposure, shade, moisture, surface condition and maintenance all affect what happens after the work. Sweep away leaves and soil before they sit wet on the surface. Check drainage where growth returns quickly. If joints have been renewed or a protective finish added, follow the product-specific curing advice before moving furniture back or washing the patio again. Ask for advice relevant to the material rather than relying on a blanket repeat-cleaning interval. A fresh appearance does not mean the surface is maintenance-free or protected against every kind of future contamination.
You can call 07496 600197 during the stated opening hours, monday – sunday, 7am – 9pm, to explain the problem and ask about availability. Do not wait for a cleaning booking where there is an immediate safety issue or a fault requiring a different specialist. Explain the concern clearly so the enquiry is about the right service.
Yes. The approved coverage includes Bordon, Farnham and Haslemere, together with the other towns listed in the service-area section. Send the exact address or postcode and describe access when requesting a quote. Coverage does not guarantee an immediate appointment or identical pricing at every property.

Describe the paving, loose slabs and failing joints, and send photographs of both the overall area and problem patches. Mention steps, drainage and planting.

Quotes are free and there is no upfront deposit. Once the job is complete and the invoice has been received, payment is by bank transfer. Confirm the actual scope before accepting and keep the care instructions alongside the invoice.
