Fixed prices

Patio and decking cleaning prices in Barnet

These are the Barnet floor prices for a patio or decking clean. Surface material first — natural stone and composite decking cost more per square metre than concrete because both need a lower pressure that takes longer to cover the same area — then access, since a roof terrace with no outside tap needs water carried up rather than run from a hose. In this borough the additional variables are ULEZ, controlled parking zones and stair access, and each is quoted separately so you can see it.

Working in Barnet

Why Barnet is not a generic London job

Hampstead Garden Suburb and Brent Cross is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Barnet.

The housing stock

The stock in Barnet is 1930s semis with bay windows, mock-tudor detached houses, garden-suburb arts and crafts homes and new towers at colindale, and the mix changes street by street — Colindale (NW9), East Finchley (N2) and Finchley (N3) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

Parking is the job before the job here: mostly driveway parking, but golders green and finchley central have tight cpzs and busy a-road frontages. Locally that means every new block requires booked goods lifts and loading bays; estate roads are gated and narrower terraced streets near the station with permit bays; driveways further out. Barnet sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.

London Borough of Barnet rules

York stone and sandstone patios on older Barnet properties are softer and more porous than concrete flags, and London Borough of Barnet conservation area guidance for the borough's protected streets treats natural stone terracing as original fabric on listed buildings. We use a lower pressure and a specialist stone cleaner rather than the setting used on standard concrete.

How the borough got this way

Coaching villages along the Great North Road, filled in by Metroland semis after the Northern line arrived in the 1930s. That history is why Barnet property behaves the way it does today.

Scope

What's included in Barnet

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Colindale or Whetstone.

Included in the price

  • Surface identified first — concrete, natural stone, softwood or composite — and the pressure set for it
  • Algae, moss and lichen treated with a biocide before washing
  • Deck board gaps cleared so water drains through
  • Furniture and planters moved and repositioned

Not included

  • Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards
  • Repointing or re-bedding loose or sunken stone slabs
  • Deep oil or paint staining soaked into porous stone

Local questions

Patio and decking cleaning in Barnet — your questions

  • How much does a patio or decking clean cost in Barnet?

    Concrete flag patio, per m² starts at £4.50 in Barnet, and the ladder runs up to £7 for the largest job on the table above. Surface material first — natural stone and composite decking cost more per square metre than concrete because both need a lower pressure that takes longer to cover the same area — then access, since a roof terrace with no outside tap needs water carried up rather than run from a hose. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.

  • Which Barnet postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: EN4, EN5, N11, N12, N14, N2, N20, N3, NW11 and NW4 and the rest of the Barnet outward codes. On the ground that includes Colindale, East Finchley, Finchley, Friern Barnet and New Southgate, Golders Green and Hendon.

  • How quickly can you get to Barnet?

    Same-week across every borough, with weekend slots common through spring and early summer when garden and roof-terrace use picks up. North London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.

  • What about parking and permits in Barnet?

    Mostly driveway parking, but Golders Green and Finchley Central have tight CPZs and busy A-road frontages. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Barnet and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

  • Do you work in Barnet flats and blocks with no lift?

    Yes. 1930s semis with bay windows, mock-Tudor detached houses, garden-suburb Arts and Crafts homes and new towers at Colindale is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.

  • Are you insured and licensed for work in Barnet?

    Wastewater containing detergent or biocide is contained and directed away from surface water drains during the clean, and drainage outlets on roof terraces and balconies are checked and cleared as part of the visit. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Barnet tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.

  • Who turns up, and with what?

    One technician for a standard garden patio or deck; two for a roof terrace or balcony where water has to be carried up by bowser and furniture moved through a lift or stairwell. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Barnet postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.

  • What is not included?

    Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards, Repointing or re-bedding loose or sunken stone slabs and Deep oil or paint staining soaked into porous stone. If something on that list turns up in Barnet, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.
