Professional algae treatment - green growth removed from patios, driveways, walls, and roofs. Biocide treatment kills algae at the root for longer-lasting results.
The Green Takeover
Green algae spreads fast in Devon's damp climate. Left untreated, it covers surfaces, makes them slippery, and looks horrible. Proper treatment kills it rather than just washing it off.
💡 Pro tip: Biocide treatment is more effective than just pressure washing. Killing the algae at the root means it takes much longer to regrow.

Frequently Asked Questions about Algae treatment in Budleigh Salterton
What causes green algae on patios?
Damp, shade, and Devon's wet climate. Algae loves moisture and grows quickly on porous surfaces like concrete, block paving, and stone. North-facing areas are worst.
Is algae just a visual problem?
No - it's also a slip hazard when wet. Green algae on patios and paths gets very slippery in rain. Worth treating for safety as well as appearance.
How is algae treated?
Professional biocide treatment kills the algae at the root. Surface cleaning removes the green, but treatment stops it coming back as quickly. Killing it properly matters.
How long does treatment last?
Depends on conditions - shady, damp areas regrow faster. Typically 6-12 months before you'll see regrowth. Annual treatment keeps most areas clear.
