Patio cleaning in Grantham for older stone

Grantham sits in the Witham valley and is a touch damper than the country around it. Put that together with plenty of Victorian and Edwardian houses and moss and algae become a constant problem on roofs and driveways. Older limestone and ironstone buildings in the town centre get orange-brown stains from the stone itself, and homes near the A1 build up traffic film faster than in rural Lincolnshire.

Growth soaking into the stone

Limestone and sandstone patios at Grantham's period homes take the growth into the stone rather than just carrying it on top. So we use biocide and a soft wash on them, because high pressure can wear the surface away.

βœ—
Slippery algae
Algae makes slabs slippery when they're wet, and a hose doesn't actually remove it.
βœ—
Lichen and black spot
Both sit in the pores of the paving, so they return quickly if it isn't treated.
βœ—
Moss in the joints
Moss grows in between slabs and eventually lifts them out of level.
βœ—
General discolouration
Even good paving goes dull and blotchy after a few Lincolnshire winters.

Patio cleaning in Grantham, slab by slab

From concrete flags to porcelain and natural stone, we clean any patio in Grantham.

Concrete and buff slabs
Strong pressure for standard slabs, since years of algae and lichen need shifting.
Limestone and sandstone
Softer stone gets a low-pressure soft wash instead, so the face of it stays intact.
Porcelain and ceramic
A careful clean that suits porcelain and ceramic paving.
Block paving
A full clean, then new sand in the joints wherever it's needed.
Jointing
After cleaning, the joints can be re-sanded or repointed so weeds struggle to get back in.
Patio sealing
A protective seal, if you'd like it to stay clean for longer.

How we handle patio cleaning in Grantham

1
Surface assessment
We start by checking what the patio's made of, then tell you which method suits it best.
2
Biocide pre-treatment
An algaecide goes on and soaks in, so the growth is dead before we wash.
3
Soft wash or pressure
Set for your surface, firm enough to clean but still gentle enough not to harm it.
4
Post-clean treatment
Afterwards a long-acting biocide goes down, so regrowth is slowed right down.

Grantham and the villages around it

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

Questions from Grantham customers

Q: Can you deal with farm dust on patios around Grantham?
A: Yes. Dust and fertiliser off the fields need a different detergent from traffic film, so we pre-treat with that first. We've cleaned plenty of homes on Grantham's rural edges this way.
Q: Will high pressure damage limestone?
A: It can, so we don't use it on stone. Natural stone gets a soft wash, and only concrete and harder slabs get high pressure.
Q: How long does the clean last?
A: If we put a biocide down afterwards, most patios round here stay clean for 18 months to 2 years.
Q: Can the joints be re-sanded?
A: Yes. 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.
