Why patio cleaning in Spalding is a year-round job

Spalding is right in the middle of the South Lincolnshire fens. Deep peat soil and a web of drainage channels mean outside surfaces here grow algae and moss quickly. Driveways and patios on the flat-fronted terraces and newer estates pick up a dark stain from the peaty soil that you don’t see much elsewhere in the county. The River Welland keeps things damp as well, so render and brickwork go green faster than on higher ground.

Patio cleaning in Spalding by Fenland Property Care

When puddles never quite drain

In the low-lying parts of Spalding, patios grow moss and algae faster than almost anywhere in Lincolnshire. Groundwater is high, flat paving holds puddles, and since fen soil blows onto it the growth has something to root in, so it keeps coming back all year.

βœ—
Slippery algae
Algae turns slabs slippery in the wet, and a hose won't actually remove it.
βœ—
Black spot and lichen
Both work into the surface of the paving, so they come back fast unless it's treated.
βœ—
Moss between slabs
Moss settles in the joints, then eventually lifts individual slabs.
βœ—
General discolouration
A few fen winters and most patios end up dark, stained and dull.

Patio cleaning in Spalding for every kind of slab

We clean all sorts of patio in Spalding, including concrete flags, porcelain and stone.

Concrete flags
Strong pressure for standard slabs, so years of lichen and algae lift off.
Natural stone
Sandstone and slate get a low-pressure soft wash instead, so they aren't damaged.
Porcelain
A lighter clean suited to porcelain and ceramic paving.
Block paving
Deep cleaned, then re-sanded in the joints if they need it.
Pointing
Once it's clean, the joints can be re-sanded or repointed so weeds find it harder to return.
Patio sealing
A sealer, if you'd like the patio to stay clean for longer.

How patio cleaning in Spalding works

1
Surface assessment
First we find out what the patio's made of, then tell you which method suits it.
2
Biocide pre-treatment
Then an algaecide goes on and soaks in, so the growth is killed before washing.
3
Pressure or soft wash
Set for your surface, strong enough to clean but never so strong that it marks it.
4
Post-clean treatment
Last of all, a long-acting biocide goes on to slow regrowth.

Spalding patio questions

Q: Why does my patio in Spalding go green so quickly?
A: Because the groundwater is high and the paving is flat, puddles sit on it, and fen soil blown onto the slabs gives algae something to root in. So we put a biocide down after cleaning to slow it coming back.
Q: Will a pressure washer damage stone?
A: Not the way we work. Natural stone only gets a low-pressure soft wash, whereas concrete and harder slabs get high pressure.
Q: How long will the patio stay clean?
A: If we finish with a biocide, most patios round here stay clean for 18 months to 2 years.
Q: Do you re-sand the joints?
A: Yes, if you'd like. We can re-sand block paving joints after the clean as 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.
