Why Louth patios need cleaning so often

Louth is on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, a bit higher than the flat fens, but the Lud valley keeps parts of town damp and moss grows fast. The red-brick Victorian terraces get heavy moss and algae, and properties on the Wolds edge catch wind-blown dirt that sticks to driveways and patios as a grimy film.

Shade, clay and moss

In the lower valley streets of Louth, patios get shade and damp from the River Lud as well as clay washed down off the Wolds. So moss and algae grow there all year, and in summer they can creep back onto a freshly cleaned patio within weeks.

βœ—
Slippery algae
When algae coats the paving it gets slippery, and a hosepipe barely touches it.
βœ—
Lichen and black spot
They sit in the surface of the slabs, so they come straight back unless it's treated.
βœ—
Moss lifting slabs
Moss grows in the joints and, given time, it pushes slabs out of line.
βœ—
General discolouration
A few wet years in the valley and most patios look stained and tired.

Local patio cleaning in Louth

We clean the paving until it's safe to walk on, then a biocide goes on so the algae takes longer to come back.

πŸ’§

A method for each surface

Since every patio's different, we choose the method after seeing it, so nothing gets damaged.

Patio cleaning in Louth for any kind of paving

Concrete flags, porcelain or natural stone, we clean them all around Louth.

Concrete flags
Higher pressure for standard slabs, so years of lichen and algae come off.
Sandstone and slate
Softer stone gets a gentle soft wash instead, so its face stays intact.
Porcelain
Porcelain and ceramic get a lighter clean than concrete would.
Block paving
Cleaned properly, then the joints get new sand if they need it.
Joints and pointing
When the cleaning's finished, the joints can be re-sanded or repointed so weeds struggle to return.
Patio sealing
A sealer if you'd like the patio to stay cleaner for longer.

How patio cleaning in Louth works

1
Surface assessment
We start by finding out what your patio's made of, then explain which method suits it.
2
Biocide pre-treatment
An algaecide soaks in before we wash, so the growth is already dead.
3
The wash
Set for your surface, enough pressure to clean it while never enough to harm it.
4
Post-clean treatment
Last of all, a long-acting biocide goes down so regrowth slows.

Patio questions from Louth

Q: Can you handle patios at valley properties in Louth?
A: Yes. Because of the valley around Louth, north-facing surfaces grow moss and algae faster than on flatter ground. So we put biocide down after cleaning, which matters most on shaded, damp valley homes.
Q: Will jet washing harm sandstone?
A: It can, which is why sandstone gets a low-pressure soft wash instead. Only concrete and harder slabs get high pressure.
Q: How long will my patio stay clean?
A: When a biocide goes down after the clean, most patios round here stay clean for 18 months to 2 years.
Q: Can you re-sand the gaps afterwards?
A: Yes. We can re-sand block paving joints after cleaning 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.
