Frequently Asked Questions
What patio types can you clean?
Concrete, Indian stone, slate, block paving, porcelain - most hard surfaces. Different materials need different approaches but all can be cleaned effectively.
Will cleaning damage my patio?
Not with correct technique. We adjust pressure for surface type. Old, crumbling surfaces need gentler treatment. We assess before starting.
How long will my patio stay clean?
Depends on position and conditions. Shaded patios green up faster. Well-drained sunny patios stay cleaner longer. Treatment and sealing extend results.
Do you re-sand block paving?
Yes - block paving needs kiln-dried sand in joints after cleaning. It's included for block paving cleans. Prevents weeds and keeps blocks stable.
