Surface Types We Clean

Patio cleaning in Burgess Hill and Mid Sussex often means Indian sandstone, concrete slabs, porcelain, limestone, brick edging and older natural stone. Each surface behaves differently. Sandstone can hold algae in the pores. Concrete slabs often collect black spot and lichen. Porcelain needs the right cleaner and rinse rather than brute force. We choose the method after looking at the surface, the pointing, drainage and nearby planting.

Why Patios Go Green

The local climate does patios no favours. Burgess Hill, Hassocks, Haywards Heath and Cuckfield all get damp spells, shaded gardens and leaf fall. Algae grows where sunlight is limited, especially near fences, hedges and north-facing walls. That green film can become slippery underfoot. Cleaning the patio removes the build-up and gives you a surface that feels easier to use again, whether it is a small seating area or a larger family garden.

Our Method

We use pressure where it is safe and a softer approach where the stone or pointing needs more care. Edges are treated carefully, and we keep dirty water moving toward drains or suitable runoff areas. We can discuss treatment for black spot and lichen if it is heavy. We also take care around lawns, pots and planted borders. A good patio clean is about control as much as power.

Pricing And Areas

Small patios usually start from £80, with larger areas priced by size, access and condition. Many customers in Mid Sussex book patio cleaning with driveway cleaning, decking cleaning or gutter clearance to save time. We cover Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Hassocks, Hurstpierpoint, Lindfield, Ditchling, Keymer and Bolney, with wider Sussex work considered when the job suits.

Questions

Useful things to know before booking.

How quickly will algae come back?

It depends on shade, drainage and tree cover. Many patios stay cleaner for a year or more.

Will pressure washing damage sandstone?

Indian sandstone needs care. We adjust pressure and avoid aggressive work on soft edges.

What about garden plants?

We rinse nearby plants before and after where needed and keep runoff controlled.

Can you seal the patio after cleaning?

We can advise on sealing once the stone is fully dry and suitable for it.
