London patio and decking cleaning · South London
We work in Croydon every week — a town in its own right — office towers and trams in the centre, purley and coulsdon's downland suburbs to the south. Patio and decking cleaning is priced against that reality, not a national average.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete flag patio, per m² | £4.50 | By area | Full-pressure rotary surface cleaner. |
| York stone or sandstone patio, per m² | £6.50 | By area | Lower pressure, stone-safe cleaner. |
| Softwood decking clean, per m² | £5 | By area | Low pressure, nozzle kept moving. |
| Composite decking clean, per m² | £5.50 | By area | Wide fan nozzle protects the capping layer. |
| Decking oiling or re-staining after cleaning, per m² | £4 | Added to visit | Separate pass once boards have dried. |
| Roof terrace or balcony deck, per m² | £7 | By area | Bowser water and a drainage check. |
Domestic prices are the total you pay; managing agents and landlords are invoiced plus VAT at 20%. Furniture moving and clearing deck-board drainage gaps are included; a bowser or extended hose run is shown as its own line.
Working in Croydon
Croydon is built from 1930s semis, victorian terraces in thornton heath, tower blocks and converted office buildings in the centre, and the mix changes street by street — Addiscombe (CR0), Coulsdon (CR5) and Croydon (CR0) each behave differently on the day.
London Borough of Croydon sets the constraint: tram-track loading limits in the centre, steep purley hills and wide suburban roads with driveways elsewhere. Locally that means tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops and steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street. Croydon sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
York stone and sandstone patios on older Croydon properties are softer and more porous than concrete flags, and London Borough of Croydon 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.
Why it looks like this: an archbishop's manor and market town that became a 1960s office boom city with the croydon corporation act towers.

Concrete flag patio, per m² starts at £4.50 in Croydon, 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.
We cover the whole borough: CR0, CR2, CR5, CR7, CR8, SE19, SE25 and SW16. On the ground that includes Addiscombe, Coulsdon, Croydon, Crystal Palace, Kenley and Purley.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend slots common through spring and early summer when garden and roof-terrace use picks up. South London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Tram-track loading limits in the centre, steep Purley hills and wide suburban roads with driveways elsewhere. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Croydon and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. 1930s semis, Victorian terraces in Thornton Heath, tower blocks and converted office buildings in the centre 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.
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 Croydon tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
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 Croydon postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
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 Croydon, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.
