Why patio cleaning in Barton-upon-Humber can't wait

Barton-upon-Humber sits right below the Humber Bridge, and properties here get more weather than most of Lincolnshire. Wind off the estuary carries salt and grime all year, and it leaves a film on patios and walls alike that wears them down if it’s left. Houses on the north side of town, facing the water, get the worst of it. The older Georgian buildings near the river have soft brick and stone, so we clean those at low pressure rather than blasting them.

Patio cleaning in Barton-upon-Humber by Fenland Property Care

Salt, damp and a slippery patio

Barton patios get the usual moss and also the estuary air. Since salt and damp work together, the grey-green film on the paving returns faster and harder than it would inland.

βœ—
Algae underfoot
When algae coats a slab it gets slippery, and hosing won't actually remove it.
βœ—
Black spot
Black spot and lichen grip the surface of the paving, so they're back within months unless it's treated.
βœ—
Moss in the gaps
Moss gets into the joints first, then over time it lifts slabs out of place.
βœ—
General discolouration
Most patios near the Humber look tired and stained after a few years of this weather.

We clean the patio until it's safe to walk on, then put down a biocide so the algae is slower to return.

So that nothing gets damaged, we choose the method after we've seen the paving.

Patio cleaning in Barton-upon-Humber, surface by surface

We handle all kinds of patio in Barton-upon-Humber, including concrete flags, natural stone and porcelain.

Concrete flags
Strong pressure for ordinary slabs, because that's what strips old algae and lichen.
Natural stone
Sandstone and slate get a soft wash at low pressure instead, so the surface stays intact.
Porcelain
Porcelain and ceramic slabs get a gentler wash than concrete.
Block paving
A thorough clean, then fresh sand in the joints where they need it.
Re-pointing
After cleaning we can re-sand or repoint the gaps, so weeds find it harder to take hold again.
Patio sealing
A protective seal if you'd like the patio to stay clean for longer.

Our patio cleaning in Barton-upon-Humber, step by step

1
Surface assessment
Before quoting we work out what your patio is made of, then explain which method suits it.
2
Biocide pre-treatment
An algaecide goes on and soaks in, so the growth is dead before washing starts.
3
Soft wash or pressure
Set for your paving, strong enough to clean but never so strong that it marks it.
4
Post-clean treatment
Afterwards a long-acting biocide goes down to slow the regrowth.

Barton and the Humber bank villages

Your Barton questions answered

Q: Can you deal with Humber salt on my patio in Barton-upon-Humber?
A: Yes. Homes facing the estuary get salt as well as algae, so we clean and treat for both. We cover all of Barton-upon-Humber, along with the North Lincolnshire villages on the Humber bank.
Q: Do you jet wash natural stone?
A: Not at high pressure. Stone gets a gentle soft wash instead, while concrete and harder slabs are the only surfaces that get full pressure.
Q: How long does a clean patio last?
A: If we finish with a biocide, most patios round here stay clean for 18 months to 2 years.
Q: Will you re-sand the gaps?
A: We can. Re-sanding block paving joints after cleaning is an optional extra.

From the initial consultation through to the completion of our roof cleaning, including the thorough removal of all debris afterwards, the Fenland Property Care team were consistently professional, courteous and meticulous. We were also very pleased with the cost of the works, which represented excellent value for the service provided.

The operative arrived on time, as arranged. Brought the necessary kit to clean an accumulation of dirt, weeds and debris over several years from our drive and patio. This was accomplished by the end of the working day when all was looking pristine. Surfaces had been cleaned down. A week later they were back to fill the gaps with kiln dried sand and now it looks like new.

Absolutely brilliant service. Very professional and friendly. Came to give a quote and was pleasantly surprised. My front and back garden look brand new. All slabs are the original colour and weedless and the front is weed free and looks amazing. They worked really hard throughout the day and also returned to finish the work, due to really hot weather. Very good customer service, had a concer and called me back within 30 minutes. Would definitely recommend πŸ‘Œ

An excellent job. From start to finish what an absolute pleasure. No pushy salesman just an authentic genuine quote. Even when I added a couple of bits, nothing was too much trouble. The price was really good too. Paul and Dale turned up on time on the date stated. Even though the weather was horrible they got cracked on with the job. They grafted all the time they were there. The work carried out was exceptionally good. They cleaned up all of the mess afterwards and let the place spotless. I cannot praise them enough. They treated my mum and her bungalow with the utmost respect.

Fenland did a great job cleaning and re-sanding my block paving path and my patio. Polite and efficient and cleaned the doors and windows where the dirt had splashed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Paul cleaned my drive, paths and patio the other day and I have never seen them look so clean. He cleaned the windows and left everything clean and tidy. We were very pleased with the way he worked and have had a lots of compliments from other people. We would not hesitate to recommend his work.
