So much paving here is soft limestone or York stone that patio cleaning in Stamford has to be gentle. We use the right method for the stone, then treat it so the growth stays off.
Stamford is one of England’s best-known stone towns, full of limestone buildings and Collyweston slate roofs, and cleaning them takes care. Iron in the local limestone leaches out and leaves orange-brown stains on walls and paths. Many of the Georgian courtyard gardens are in shade all day, so moss and algae keep coming back. Collyweston slates are fragile, so we soft wash them instead of jet washing, and any work in the conservation areas has to respect the old buildings.
Limestone flags and York stone in Stamford let growth soak into the face of the stone. So we give them a longer biocide pre-treatment and then wash at low pressure, until the growth lifts without wearing the stone or leaving pale patches.
We clean the patio back to safe, sound stone, and afterwards a biocide slows the algae returning.
We decide on the method after looking at the stone, so it cleans up without damage.
All our work is also covered by £1m public liability insurance.
