Patio Cleaning in Burgess Hill

Patio cleaning in Burgess Hill

We recently headed out to a residential property in Burgess Hill to help a homeowner whose patio had certainly seen better days. Living in Mid Sussex, we are all too familiar with how quickly our local damp weather can turn a beautiful stone seating area into a slippery, blackened mess of algae and lichen. This particular space was quite heavily weathered, with the natural colour of the slabs almost entirely obscured by a thick layer of organic growth and stubborn dirt that had built up over several seasons.

Assessing the stone before we started

As a family-run team with over twenty years of experience across Sussex, we know that every surface requires a tailored approach. We didn't just turn up and blast away at the stone; we took the time to assess the material to ensure we used the right balance of pressure and care. For this job in RH15, we utilised our professional-grade jet washing equipment, carefully regulating the flow to remove the grime without damaging the delicate pointing between the slabs. We also applied a specific professional cleaning solution designed to kill off any remaining spores, ensuring the black spot and green algae wouldn't simply return a few weeks later.

Deep clean and rinse down

The process involved a thorough deep clean followed by a meticulous rinse down of the entire area, including the surrounding edges and low-level walls. It is always rewarding to see the original hues of the stone emerge as we work. By the time we had finished, the patio was completely transformed from a dull, treacherous walkway into a bright and inviting space ready for the summer months. It was just one of many successful call-outs we handled that day, and it was a pleasure to leave behind another very happy customer who could finally enjoy their garden again.

Keeping the patio looking good

To keep a patio looking this good, we always recommend regular sweeping to prevent leaf mulch from breaking down into the stone and a light wash with soapy water every few months.
