  1. Step 1

    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

Why choose us

Why St Paul's customers book us

Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a St Paul's wall.

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. St Paul's (Central) is the nearest station, so a EC4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

St Paul's walls, not generic walls

We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is why City of London Corporation kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in EC4, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the St Paul's stock goes, the reality on the streets around St Paul's Cathedral.

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. Pedestrianised zones and camera-enforced streets; loading needs a permit from the Corporation.

Fixed prices

Patio and decking cleaning prices in St Paul's

Fixed prices for EC4 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 St Paul's

The same scope across EC4, whether the job is a single item or a full room.

Included in the price

  • In St Paul's: surface identified first — concrete, natural stone, softwood or composite — and the pressure set for it, timed against the walk in from St Paul's (Central)
  • On EC4 jobs: algae, moss and lichen treated with a biocide before washing, agreed on the doorstep in St Paul's before anything is unpacked
  • Standard on City of London bookings: deck board gaps cleared so water drains through, allowing for the 48% of EC4 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
  • Furniture and planters moved and repositioned, noted on the St Paul's job sheet so the next visit starts from it
  • In St Paul's: wastewater directed away from surface water drains, the way it is done on St Paul's jobs
  • On EC4 jobs: drainage outlets on roof terraces and balconies checked clear, with 98% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift

Not included

  • Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards, and we will say so before the EC4 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, which we refer on to the right trade in St Paul's
  • Structural work on raised decking or balustrades, quoted separately if you need it arranged in EC4

Cleaning reviews from Greater London customers

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

Coverage

Where we work around St Paul's EC4

Patio and decking cleaning across City of London and the EC4 district, mapped below.

Working in St Paul's

St Paul's EC4 at a glance

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers St Paul's — the numbers that actually change a patio and decking cleaning quote.

St Paul's EC4 is post-war and renter-heavy: 98% of homes here are flats and 2% are houses, across 4,914 households (ONS Census 2021).

Because 48% of St Paul's is privately rented and 15% socially rented, a lot of EC4 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.

Expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is why City of London Corporation kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in EC4. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the St Paul's stock goes, the reality on the streets around St Paul's Cathedral is the fault we are called back to undo.

St Paul's sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — cathedral precinct, One New Change shopping and the streets running down to the Millennium Bridge — which is why a EC4 quote is not a City of London average.

Pedestrianised zones and camera-enforced streets; loading needs a permit from the Corporation. Nearest station is St Paul's (Central), and 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.

Common questions

Patio and decking cleaning in St Paul's EC4 — your questions.

  • How much does patio and decking cleaning cost in St Paul's EC4?

    Concrete flag patio, per m² starts with a free written quote in St Paul's around St Paul's (Central) — and this being City of London Corporation territory, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a crew is booked. 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 St Paul's — and 51% one-person households here, with 4,914 households on this patch.

  • Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in St Paul's EC4?

    Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on EC4 jobs, with 4,914 households on this patch. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in St Paul's most weeks on the St Paul's rounds, with 37% owner-occupation locally.

  • How long does flat-pack assembly take in St Paul's?

    In St Paul's, 5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on this side of City of London, with this being City of London Corporation territory. Ask for it in writing before the EC4 visit and it is on the job sheet.

  • Will a built wardrobe fit through a St Paul's doorway?

    That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near St Paul's Cathedral. With 98% of St Paul's homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for St Paul's (EC4) addresses, with City of London parking rules in play — and this being City of London Corporation territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

  • What is not included in patio and decking cleaning in St Paul's?

    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; Structural work on raised decking or balustrades for St Paul's (EC4) addresses — and St Paul's Cathedral a few streets away, with 98% of homes here being flats. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the St Paul's EC4 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near St Paul's Cathedral, with this being City of London Corporation territory.

  • Who books patio and decking cleaning in St Paul's EC4 — tenants, landlords or owners?

    All three. With 48% of St Paul's privately rented and 37% owner-occupied, roughly half the EC4 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of City of London — and St Paul's Cathedral a few streets away, with 4,914 households on this patch.

  • How quickly can you reach St Paul's from your City of London round?

    St Paul's Cathedral is the marker we route to on EC4 jobs, with this being City of London Corporation territory, and pedestrianised zones and camera-enforced streets; loading needs a permit from the Corporation. A EC4 slot added to an existing City of London round usually lands the same week rather than the next around St Paul's (Central), with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood.
