Why patio cleaning in Bourne is a two-part job

Bourne is at the southern edge of Lincolnshire, where higher limestone ground drops away to the flat peat of the South Fen. That gives us two kinds of job. Older stone properties in the town centre get limestone staining, and houses on the southern side, nearer the fen, grow moss and algae fast on roofs and driveways. Around Bourne Abbey, the Victorian buildings get the heavy moss you’d expect in a sheltered inland town.

Slippery slabs near the fen

Gardens on the low side of Bourne collect peaty soil and fen damp from the fields around. Because of that, stone and concrete patios there grow back faster than most.

βœ—
Green film
Once algae coats the slabs they turn slippery, and a hosepipe won't actually lift it.
βœ—
Lichen spots
Lichen and black spot grip the surface, so they come straight back unless the paving is treated.
βœ—
Moss in every gap
Moss settles into the joints, then slowly pushes individual slabs out of level.
βœ—
General discolouration
After a few Lincolnshire winters most patios look tired, stained and grey.

Patio cleaning in Bourne, whatever it's laid with

In Bourne we clean all sorts of patio, from plain concrete flags to stone and porcelain.

Everyday concrete
Higher pressure for standard slabs, because years of lichen and algae need shifting.
Limestone and sandstone
Softer stone gets a low-pressure soft wash instead, so its face stays intact.
Porcelain tiles
A careful clean that suits porcelain and ceramic slabs.
Block paving
Cleaned right through, then given fresh sand in the joints if they need it.
Jointing work
When the cleaning's done we can re-sand or repoint the joints, so weeds struggle to return.
Patio sealing
A seal over the top, so the patio stays clean for longer.

How we do patio cleaning in Bourne

1
Surface assessment
We start by checking what the patio is made of, then tell you which method suits it.
2
Biocide pre-treatment
Before washing, an algaecide goes on and soaks in so the growth is killed off.
3
Pressure or soft wash
Set to suit your paving, strong enough to clean it while still gentle enough not to harm it.
4
Post-clean treatment
Once it's clean, a long-acting biocide goes on so regrowth slows right down.

Patio questions from Bourne

Q: Can you remove limestone deposits from patios and drives in Bourne?
A: Yes. Limestone around Bourne leaves mineral staining, so we use an acid cleaner as well as the usual biocide. We've done plenty of limestone properties in Bourne and the villages near it.
Q: Is sandstone safe with a pressure washer?
A: Not on full pressure, so we don't use it. Stone gets a low-pressure soft wash, and only concrete and harder slabs get high pressure.
Q: How long until it needs cleaning again?
A: If a biocide goes down after the clean, most patios round here stay clean for 18 months to 2 years.
Q: Do you refill the joints with sand?
A: Yes, if you'd like. Re-sanding block paving joints is an add-on once the cleaning's finished.

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.
