Shady yards and river damp mean patio cleaning in Gainsborough is mostly about black and green algae. We clean it off the right way for the surface, then treat it.
Gainsborough sits on the River Trent, and houses near the waterfront deal with riverside damp and the odd bit of flood residue. Dust from the distribution and processing sites along the A631 settles on driveways and windows across a wide area. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces get the same moss and algae as any inland market town, while riverside homes near the Old Hall and the Trent quayside also have the tidal river to contend with.
Behind Gainsborough's Victorian terraces, patios facing north or west go black and green quickly because of the shade and the damp from the river valley. If it's left, it wears away at stone and concrete flags.
We clean the patio until it's safe underfoot, and then a biocide goes down so the algae is slower to come back.
Since paving varies so much, we choose the method after we've seen it, so nothing gets damaged.
Also, all our work is covered by £1m public liability insurance.
