Why patio cleaning in Woodhall Spa takes extra care

Woodhall Spa is a one-off in Lincolnshire, an Edwardian spa town built among pine woods. Patios and roofs collect pine needles and sticky resin all year, which stains surfaces and blocks drains if nobody clears it. In summer the trees keep a lot of gardens in shade nearly all day, and moss and algae thrive in that on roofs and paving alike.

Shade, needles and a slippery patio

Shade from the trees in Woodhall Spa, as well as the acidic leaf litter they drop, makes patio moss and algae hard to shift here. In fact a shaded patio can grow a thick, slippery layer in a single season.

βœ—
Slippery growth
Algae makes slabs slippery when wet, and a hosepipe won't actually remove it.
βœ—
Lichen and black spot
They settle into the surface of the paving, so they're soon back unless it's treated.
βœ—
Moss and needles in the joints
Moss roots in the joints and, over time, starts lifting slabs.
βœ—
General discolouration
Under the pines, most patios look stained and dark after a few years.

Why Woodhall Spa picks us for patio cleaning

πŸ†

Local patio cleaning in Woodhall Spa

We clean the patio until it's safe underfoot, and then a biocide goes down so the algae takes longer to return.

πŸ’§

The right method for the job

Since resin and algae need different treatment, we choose the method after seeing the patio.

Fully insured

Every job is also covered by our Β£1m public liability insurance.

Patio cleaning in Woodhall Spa for any surface

We clean all kinds of patio in Woodhall Spa, including concrete flags, porcelain and stone.

Concrete slabs
Higher pressure for standard slabs, so years of algae and lichen come away.
Natural stone
Sandstone and slate get a low-pressure soft wash instead, so the stone isn't harmed.
Porcelain
A lighter clean suited to porcelain and ceramic slabs.
Block paving
A thorough clean, then fresh sand in the joints where needed.
Joints and pointing
After cleaning we can re-sand or repoint the joints, so weeds find it harder to get back in.
Patio sealing
A sealer, so it stays clean longer under the trees.

How patio cleaning in Woodhall Spa works

1
Surface assessment
First we check what your patio's made of, then explain which method suits it.
2
Biocide pre-treatment
Then an algaecide goes on and soaks in, so the growth is killed before we wash.
3
Soft wash or pressure
Set for your paving, enough to clean it but never so much that it does damage.
4
Post-clean treatment
Finally a long-acting biocide goes down to slow regrowth.

Woodhall Spa and the villages around it

Besides Woodhall Spa itself, we clean patios in the villages and towns nearby, including these.

Woodhall Spa questions

Q: Can you get pine resin and needle stains off patios in Woodhall Spa?
A: Yes. We pre-treat pine resin to break it down before we pressure wash or soft wash, because resin doesn't respond to the same products as algae. We've cleaned plenty of patios in Woodhall Spa, so the trees aren't new to us.
Q: Is pressure washing safe on stone?
A: Not at high pressure, so natural stone gets a soft wash instead. Only concrete and harder slabs get the full pressure.
Q: How long will it stay clean under the trees?
A: If we finish with a biocide, most patios round here stay clean for 18 months to 2 years.
Q: Can the joints be re-sanded?
A: Yes. Re-sanding block paving joints after the clean is an add-on we do.

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.
