Why Sleaford patios need cleaning so often

Sleaford sits on the edge of the Lincolnshire fens, and on flat ground water drains away slowly, so driveways and patios get dirty quickly. In spring and summer, dust blows in off the fields around town, and the area by the Navigation keeps north-facing walls and roofs damp enough for moss and algae all year. Homes near the watermill and the canal benefit most from regular cleaning.

Patio cleaning in Sleaford by Fenland Property Care

Damp patios near the river

Because the River Slea and the Navigation run through the middle, central Sleaford stays damper than the rest of town. So patios near the river grow moss and algae noticeably faster than those on the newer estates to the south.

βœ—
Green and slippery
When algae coats the slabs they turn slippery, and hosing it won't actually lift it.
βœ—
Black spot
Lichen and black spot settle into the paving, then come straight back unless it's treated.
βœ—
Moss in the joints
Moss roots between the slabs and gradually pushes them out of line.
βœ—
General discolouration
Even a newer patio goes dull and patchy after a few fenland winters.

Local patio cleaning in Sleaford

We get the paving clean and safe underfoot, and then a biocide goes on so algae is slower to come back.

The method suits the surface

We decide how to clean once we've seen the paving, so it comes up well without damage.

Patio cleaning in Sleaford for every surface

Concrete flags, porcelain or natural stone, we clean all kinds of patio in Sleaford.

Concrete and buff slabs
Higher pressure for standard slabs, because that's what lifts old algae and lichen.
Natural stone
Sandstone and slate get a low-pressure soft wash instead, so the surface isn't harmed.
Porcelain and ceramic
Porcelain gets a lighter clean than concrete would.
Block paving
A full clean, then new sand in the joints wherever it's needed.
Joint repairs
After cleaning we can re-sand or repoint the joints, so weeds have a harder time returning.
Patio sealing
A sealer, so it stays clean longer between visits.

Our patio cleaning in Sleaford, step by step

1
Surface assessment
We start by checking what your patio's made of, then explain which method suits it.
2
Biocide pre-treatment
An algaecide soaks in before any washing, so the growth is already dead.
3
Soft wash or pressure
Set for your paving, enough to clean while still gentle enough not to harm it.
4
Post-clean treatment
Afterwards a long-acting biocide goes down so regrowth slows.

Questions from Sleaford

Q: Do you clean patios on the newer estates around Sleaford, such as Holdingham and Handley Chase?
A: Yes. We cover all of Sleaford, including Holdingham, Handley Chase, Quarrington and every village nearby. Block paving and render on these new-build estates also respond well to soft washing and pressure cleaning.
Q: Is jet washing bad for natural stone?
A: It can be, so we don't do it. Natural stone gets a low-pressure soft wash, while concrete and harder slabs get high pressure.
Q: How long until it goes green again?
A: When a biocide goes down after the clean, most patios round here stay clean for 18 months to 2 years.
Q: Can you fill the joints back in?
A: Yes. Re-sanding block paving joints after cleaning is an add-on we do.

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.
