How it works

How patio and decking cleaning works in Aldgate

Five steps, the same on every EC3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — measured on the walk in from Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan) rather than assumed from a map is what we plan for here.
  1. Step 1

    Tell us the surface and access

    Surface type, rough area, and whether there's an outside tap.

  2. Step 2

    Fixed written quote

    Per square metre, with oiling and bowser water as separate lines.

  3. Step 3

    Clear and pre-treat

    Furniture moved, gaps cleared, biocide soak on shaded growth.

  4. Step 4

    Wash at the right pressure

    Full strength on concrete; stepped down on stone, softwood and composite.

  5. Step 5

    Dry, treat and hand back

    Decking dried before oiling, drainage checked, furniture replaced.

Why choose us

Why Aldgate customers book us

What follows is specific to Aldgate: its walls, its access and the paperwork City of London agents ask for.

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. Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan) is the nearest station, so a EC3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Aldgate walls, not generic walls

We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, and with 51% one-person households in Aldgate, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in EC3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Aldgate gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.

Insured and documented

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.

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. Aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking.

Fixed prices

Patio and decking cleaning prices in Aldgate

Fixed prices for EC3 and the rest of City of London. 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.

Scope

What's included in Aldgate

The same scope across EC3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.

Included in the price

  • Standard on City of London bookings: surface identified first — concrete, natural stone, softwood or composite — and the pressure set for it, arranged with City of London Corporation where the kerb needs it
  • Algae, moss and lichen treated with a biocide before washing — including patio and decking cleaning london
  • In Aldgate: deck board gaps cleared so water drains through, the way it is done on Aldgate jobs
  • On EC3 jobs: furniture and planters moved and repositioned, with 98% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
  • Standard on City of London bookings: wastewater directed away from surface water drains, allowing for the 48% of EC3 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
  • Drainage outlets on roof terraces and balconies checked clear, noted on the Aldgate job sheet so the next visit starts from it

Not included

  • Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards, and we will say so before the EC3 visit rather than on the day
  • Repointing or re-bedding loose or sunken stone slabs, handled by City of London Corporation or a specialist contractor instead
  • Deep oil or paint staining soaked into porous stone, quoted separately if you need it arranged in EC3
  • Structural work on raised decking or balustrades, outside the fixed price on Aldgate bookings

Fantastic and thorough clean. Nicole and Marius arrived on time with all the equipment needed for the deep clean. The flat looks stunning. This is the second time in a year we have used their services and both times it’s been fantastic. Really was a fantastic service from them and can’t recommend them enough
