Overview
Patio and decking cleaning in Sidcup DA15, explained
This page prices patio and decking cleaning for Sidcup DA15 specifically: inter-war stock, 20% privately rented and 8,640 households in total. Work starts at £4.50, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Bexley permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How patio and decking cleaning works in Sidcup
Five steps, the same on every DA15 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In DA15, Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls — which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Tell us the surface and access
Concrete, natural stone, softwood or composite, roughly the area, and whether there's an outside tap or the flat needs water carried up by bowser.
Step 2
Fixed written quote
Priced per square metre for the surface you have, with oiling, re-staining or a bowser water supply shown as separate lines rather than bundled in.
Step 3
Clear and pre-treat
Furniture and planters moved, deck board gaps cleared of leaf litter, and algae or lichen in shaded corners given a biocide soak before washing.
Step 4
Wash at the right pressure
Concrete at full strength; natural stone, softwood and composite all stepped down to protect the surface, using a wide fan nozzle on composite specifically.
Step 5
Dry, treat and hand back
Softwood decking is left to dry before any oiling; drainage outlets on roof terraces are checked clear; furniture is put back once the surface is dry underfoot.
Why choose us
Why Sidcup customers book us
Four things decide whether a DA15 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Crew sized to the job
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. Driveways throughout; the high street is a red route with short bays.
Booked around your day
Same-week across every borough, with weekend slots common through spring and early summer when garden and roof-terrace use picks up. Sidcup (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Sidcup walls, not generic walls
We expect cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, measured on the walk in from Sidcup (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map in DA15, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Sidcup stock goes, a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
Patio and decking cleaning prices in Sidcup
Fixed prices for DA15 and the rest of Bexley. 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.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete flag patio, per m² | £4.50 | By area | Manufactured concrete flags take a standard rotary surface cleaner at full pressure without any risk to the finish. |
| York stone or sandstone patio, per m² | £6.50 | By area | Natural stone is more porous and softer than concrete, so it's cleaned at a lower pressure with a specialist stone-safe cleaner rather than the standard detergent. |
| Softwood decking clean, per m² | £5 | By area | Softwood boards need the pressure kept low and the nozzle kept moving, since a static jet will fur the grain and shorten the board's life. |
| Composite decking clean, per m² | £5.50 | By area | Composite boards need a wide fan nozzle and a lower bar pressure than timber, since a narrow jet can strip the capping layer that gives composite its colour and grip. |
| Decking oiling or re-staining after cleaning, per m² | £4 | Added to visit | Softwood decking needs re-oiling once dry to stay weatherproof; this is priced as a separate pass because it can only start once the boards have fully dried out. |
| Roof terrace or balcony deck, per m² | £7 | By area | No mains tap on most roof terraces means water is carried up by bowser, and drainage outlets have to be checked and cleared as part of the visit, not just the deck surface. |

Scope
What's included in Sidcup
The same scope across DA15, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Sidcup: surface identified before we start — concrete, natural stone, softwood or composite — and the pressure and nozzle set for it, the way it is done on Sidcup jobs
- On DA15 jobs: algae, moss and lichen in shaded, north-facing corners treated with a biocide first rather than pressure-blasted alone, with 46% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Bexley bookings: deck board gaps cleared of trapped leaves and debris so water drains through rather than pooling and rotting the joists, arranged with London Borough of Bexley where the kerb needs it
- Furniture and planters moved before cleaning and repositioned afterwards — including patio and decking cleaning
- In Sidcup: wastewater and any cleaning product run-off directed away from surface water drains during the wash, sized for the driveways throughout; the high street is a red route with short bays
- On DA15 jobs: a drainage check on roof terraces and balconies to confirm outlets are clear once the clean is finished, patio and decking cleaning prices included
Not included
- Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards — that's a repair job, quoted separately by our decking team, handled by London Borough of Bexley or a specialist contractor instead
- Repointing or re-bedding natural stone patio slabs that have come loose or sunk, which we refer on to the right trade in Sidcup
- Deep oil or paint staining that has soaked into porous stone and may need professional poulticing rather than a surface wash, quoted separately if you need it arranged in DA15
- Structural work on raised decking or a roof terrace balustrade, which needs a qualified joiner or builder, outside the fixed price on Sidcup bookings

Thankyou to Nicole and Marius and colleagues for a superb clean of our family home.

Sidcup DA15 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Sidcup — the numbers that actually change a patio and decking cleaning quote.
In Sidcup (DA15) the split is 46% flats to 54% houses over 8,640 households, and the stock is inter-war.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (68% owned, 20% privately rented) means a DA15 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, measured on the walk in from Sidcup (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Sidcup is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Sidcup stock goes, a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
A busy high street, Lamorbey Park and the Rose Bruford campus. That character decides the practical detail of patio and decking cleaning here far more than the borough boundary does. Sidcup is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, driveways throughout; the high street is a red route with short bays — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Sidcup (Southeastern).

Common questions
Patio and decking cleaning in Sidcup DA15 — your questions.
How much does patio and decking cleaning cost in Sidcup DA15?
50 in Sidcup, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked in this 46% flats neighbourhood, with Sidcup Place and Lamorbey Park a few streets away. 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 on Bexley bookings — and this being London Borough of Bexley territory, with 46% of homes here being flats.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Sidcup DA15?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on DA15 jobs, with 54% of Sidcup homes being houses. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Sidcup most weeks on the Sidcup rounds, with 12% social-rented stock nearby.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Sidcup?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in Sidcup, with this being a short walk from Sidcup (Southeastern).
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Sidcup doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Bexley bookings. With 46% of Sidcup homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the streets near Sidcup Place and Lamorbey Park — and 54% of Sidcup homes being houses, with Bexley parking rules in play, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Do you handle difficult access in Sidcup?
Driveways throughout; the high street is a red route with short bays around Sidcup (Southeastern). Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Bexley it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards in Sidcup — and this being a short walk from Sidcup (Southeastern), with 12% social-rented stock nearby.
Are your fitters insured for work in DA15?
Wastewater containing detergent or biocide is contained and directed away from surface water drains during the clean on DA15 jobs — and 68% owner-occupation locally, with Bexley parking rules in play, and drainage outlets on roof terraces and balconies are checked and cleared as part of the visit. That paperwork is what most Bexley letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the Sidcup rounds, with 35% one-person households here.
What is not included in patio and decking cleaning in Sidcup?
Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards — that's a repair job, quoted separately by our decking team; Repointing or re-bedding natural stone patio slabs that have come loose or sunk; Deep oil or paint staining that has soaked into porous stone and may need professional poulticing rather than a surface wash; Structural work on raised decking or a roof terrace balustrade around Sidcup (Southeastern), with this being London Borough of Bexley territory — and 12% social-rented stock nearby, which needs a qualified joiner or builder. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Sidcup DA15 price you agree is the price you pay in Sidcup, with a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood.
