Why Lincoln patios need cleaning more than you'd think

Lincoln has a cleaning problem you don’t get in most Lincolnshire towns. Centuries of stonework mean limestone dust and moss, and the lower city sits on heavy clay. Victorian terraces and Georgian townhouses in the Cathedral quarter grow thick moss and algae on north-facing walls that hardly see the sun. Out in suburbs like Bracebridge and Skellingthorpe, driveways and patios collect the clay mud that washes off Lincolnshire soil.

Patio cleaning in Lincoln by Fenland Property Care

North-facing and slippery

Patios behind Lincoln's Victorian terraces that face north go green faster than almost anywhere else in the county. Limestone dust and muddy rain settle on them, and since they get so little direct sun, moss and algae take hold quickly.

βœ—
Algae on the slabs
A layer of algae makes paving slippery, especially in the wet, and the hose won't lift it.
βœ—
Black spot
Lichen and black spot dig into the surface, so unless it's treated they're soon back.
βœ—
Moss in the joints
Moss settles between the slabs, then slowly works them loose.
βœ—
General discolouration
Give a Lincoln patio a few years of weather and it looks stained and grey for good, or so it seems.

Patio cleaning across Lincoln, and why people choose us

πŸ†

Local patio cleaning in Lincoln

We clean the patio back to safe, grippy paving, and afterwards a biocide slows the algae right down.

πŸ’§

Method to match the stone

Because old limestone and new concrete need different handling, we choose the method on the day.

Fully insured

Also, all our work is covered by Β£1m public liability insurance.

Patio cleaning in Lincoln for every surface

We clean any patio in Lincoln, whether it's concrete flags, porcelain or old stone.

Concrete and buff flags
Higher pressure for ordinary slabs, so years of algae and lichen come away.
Limestone and sandstone
Softer stone gets a low-pressure soft wash instead, so its surface isn't worn.
Porcelain
Porcelain and ceramic get a lighter touch than concrete.
Block paving
Cleaned through, then the joints get new sand where it's needed.
Joint work
If the joints are open after cleaning, we re-sand or repoint them so weeds struggle to return.
Patio sealing
A sealer, if you'd like the patio to stay clean longer.

How patio cleaning in Lincoln works

1
Surface assessment
Before quoting, we check what your patio's made of and tell you which method suits it.
2
Biocide pre-treatment
Then an algaecide goes on and soaks in, so the growth is dead before the wash.
3
Pressure or soft wash
Set for your paving, enough to clean but never so much that it damages it.
4
Post-clean treatment
Finally a long-acting biocide goes down so regrowth is slowed.

Lincoln, uphill and down

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

πŸ“ Parking is restricted in LN1 and LN2, so for Cathedral quarter homes we book early-morning slots instead.

Questions we hear in Lincoln

Q: Can you clean limestone and period stone near Lincoln Cathedral?
A: Yes. Around Lincoln's old limestone and medieval stonework we only soft wash at low pressure. We never use high pressure near lime mortar or period stone, and we've worked on plenty of homes around Bailgate and the Cathedral quarter.
Q: Is a pressure washer safe on old stone?
A: Not at full power, so we don't use one that way. Natural stone gets a soft wash, while concrete and harder slabs are the only ones that get high pressure.
Q: How long will the patio stay clean?
A: If a biocide goes down after the clean, most patios in Lincolnshire stay clean for 18 months to 2 years.
Q: Do you re-sand block paving joints?
A: Yes, if you want it. Re-sanding the joints once the cleaning's done is an add-on.

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.
