Overview
Patio and decking cleaning in Kentish Town NW5, explained
This page prices patio and decking cleaning for Kentish Town NW5 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 24% privately rented and 7,587 households in total. Work starts at £4.50, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Camden permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How patio and decking cleaning works in Kentish Town
Five steps, the same on every NW5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — and with 36% one-person households in Kentish Town, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site 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 Kentish Town customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Kentish Town wall.
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. Seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access.
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. Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a NW5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Kentish Town walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Kentish Town, often with surface conduit, with 49% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in NW5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Kentish Town gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Patio and decking cleaning prices in Kentish Town
Fixed prices for NW5 and the rest of Camden. 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. |

Where a bowser or extended hose run is needed for a flat with no outside tap, that's shown as its own line.
Scope
What's included in Kentish Town
The same scope across NW5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Camden bookings: surface identified before we start — concrete, natural stone, softwood or composite — and the pressure and nozzle set for it, arranged with London Borough of Camden where the kerb needs it
- Algae, moss and lichen in shaded, north-facing corners treated with a biocide first rather than pressure-blasted alone — including local patio and decking cleaning
- In Kentish Town: deck board gaps cleared of trapped leaves and debris so water drains through rather than pooling and rotting the joists, the way it is done on Kentish Town jobs
- On NW5 jobs: furniture and planters moved before cleaning and repositioned afterwards, with 86% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Camden bookings: wastewater and any cleaning product run-off directed away from surface water drains during the wash, allowing for the 24% of NW5 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- A drainage check on roof terraces and balconies to confirm outlets are clear once the clean is finished, noted on the Kentish Town job sheet so the next visit starts from it
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 Camden 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 Kentish Town
- Deep oil or paint staining that has soaked into porous stone and may need professional poulticing rather than a surface wash, outside the fixed price on Kentish Town bookings
- Structural work on raised decking or a roof terrace balustrade, which needs a qualified joiner or builder, and we will say so before the NW5 visit rather than on the day

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

Working high street, Victorian terraces and the Forum's gig traffic. That character decides the practical detail of patio and decking cleaning here far more than the borough boundary does.
