Why Boston patios need cleaning so often

Boston sits on the tidal River Haven, close to The Wash, and cleaning here isn’t like anywhere else in Lincolnshire. Damp, salty air off The Wash and the tidal river mean algae and moss grow on Boston homes about as fast as anywhere in the county. Driveways near the waterfront and in low spots get silt and mud washed over them after high tides, and render on riverside homes streaks green and black faster than most new owners expect.

Patio cleaning in Boston by Fenland Property Care

Is the patio slippery after rain?

Few places in Lincolnshire see patios go green as fast as Boston. Because the air off The Wash is damp and the ground is flat and holds water, moss and algae get going on stone and concrete alike.

βœ—
Algae and wet slabs
A coat of algae makes the patio slippery, and the hose won't get it off.
βœ—
Lichen and black spot
Both settle into the surface of paving, then come back fast if nothing treats them.
βœ—
Joints full of moss
Moss takes root in the joints, and eventually it starts lifting slabs.
βœ—
General discolouration
Give a patio a few Fenland winters and it usually ends up dull and stained.

Patio cleaning in Boston for all surfaces

Whatever the patio is made of in Boston, from concrete flags to porcelain or stone, we clean it.

Buff and concrete slabs
Higher pressure for standard slabs, so years of lichen and algae come away.
Natural stone
Sandstone and slate are softer, so they get a low-pressure soft wash that won't harm them.
Porcelain and ceramic
A lighter clean that suits porcelain and ceramic slabs.
Block paving
Cleaned properly, then re-sanded in the joints where it's needed.
Joint repairs
Once cleaned, the joints can be re-sanded or repointed so weeds have a harder time returning.
Patio sealing
A sealer to keep it cleaner for longer between visits.

How our Boston patio cleaning works

1
Surface assessment
We check what the patio's made of first, then tell you the method that suits it best.
2
Biocide pre-treatment
Then an algaecide goes on and soaks in, so the growth is killed before we wash.
3
The wash itself
Pressure is set for your surface, enough to clean it but still gentle enough not to harm it.
4
Post-clean treatment
Last of all, a long-acting biocide goes on so regrowth slows right down.

Boston and the villages around it

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

Boston patio questions

Q: Can you clean salt-affected paving near The Wash in Boston?
A: Yes. Salt and coastal algae need different products from inland dirt, so we bring the right ones. We work all over the Boston area, including homes by the river and nearer the coast.
Q: Does jet washing harm stone slabs?
A: Not when it's done properly. Natural stone only gets a low-pressure soft wash, whereas concrete and tougher slabs get high pressure.
Q: When will my patio need doing again?
A: If we treat it with biocide after the clean, most patios round here stay clean for 18 months to 2 years.
Q: Do you fill the joints back in afterwards?
A: Yes, as an add-on. We can re-sand block paving joints once the cleaning's done.

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.
