Patio Cleaning in East Grinstead
Professional patio cleaning for homes and businesses in East Grinstead and the surrounding towns.
Patios sit in the dampest, most shaded part of most gardens, so algae, moss and black staining take hold quickly, leaving slabs green, patchy and slippery.
We clean slabs, Indian sandstone, natural stone and block-paved patios using pressure and methods suited to the stone, bringing the surface back without damaging it.

Professional Patio Cleaning Service
A patio is where you actually sit and spend time, and it’s usually the first surface to green over. Shade, damp and overhanging plants make it the perfect spot for algae, moss and lichen.
Softer natural stones need gentler handling than a concrete driveway, so we assess the stone first and match the pressure and method to it. Where needed, suitable treatments are applied to stubborn organic staining before a final rinse.
We clean patios across East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, Forest Row and the surrounding towns, getting outdoor spaces ready for the season or simply back to their best. Patio cleaning is part of our wider pressure washing service, and for green or weed-choked paving we also offer moss removal for paths and patios.

Block paving clean, treat chemically and re-sand. Very polite and efficient. Competitive price. Excellent results. Never seen the drive looking so good.
Joss made a fantastic job of the driveway, very professional job, very polite and kept us informed of what he was doing. Would definitely recommend, such a very pleasant guy. Thank you.
Used Exterior Services just recently to cut a large hedge in my garden. Really impressed by the communication and professionalism of the company and Joss. Hedge is very well done and received compliments from my neighbours. Would not hesitate to recommend Exterior Services.

Patio Cleaning FAQs
Answers to common questions about patio cleaning, surfaces and booking.
What types of patios can you clean?
Concrete slabs, paving flags, Indian sandstone, natural stone and block-paved patios. The stone is assessed first so we can use the right method for it.
Is pressure washing safe for Indian sandstone?
Yes, when it’s done properly. Sandstone is softer than concrete, so we use lower, controlled pressure and suitable methods rather than blasting it. That’s exactly why it’s worth using a professional rather than hiring a machine.
Can you remove black spots from patio slabs?
Black spot lichen is the stubborn one. It usually needs a targeted treatment rather than pressure alone, and results depend on how established it is. We’ll tell you honestly at the quote stage what to expect.
Will cleaning disturb the joints?
Loose jointing material can lift during cleaning. Block-paved patios can be re-sanded afterwards; failing pointing on slabs is a separate repair, and we’ll flag it if we spot it.
Will my patio be slippery afterwards?
The opposite. Removing algae and organic build-up is what restores grip, especially on shaded patios.
How much does patio cleaning cost in the South East?
As a rough guide, patio cleaning in the South East typically works out between £2.75 and £4 per square metre depending on the stone and condition. Smaller patios are usually priced as a minimum visit rather than strictly by the metre, which is why the rate runs a little higher than a driveway. Send us a couple of photos and your postcode and we’ll come back with a firm, free quote, usually the same day.
How long does a patio clean take?
Most patios are done within a few hours. Larger or heavily stained areas take longer, and we’ll confirm timings with your quote.
Do I need to move my garden furniture?
If you can move lighter furniture and pots off the patio, great. Anything heavy we’ll move carefully or work around.
Which areas do you cover for patio cleaning?
We’re based in East Grinstead and clean patios across Haywards Heath, Forest Row, Crawley, Crowborough, Lingfield, Oxted and Tunbridge Wells. If your town isn’t listed, get in touch.
