Overview
This page prices patio and decking cleaning for Ealing W5 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 41% privately rented and 18,588 households in total. Work starts at £4.50, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Ealing permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
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
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
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
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
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
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. Broadway loading windows, permit bays on the villa streets and booked lifts in new blocks.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend slots common through spring and early summer when garden and roof-terrace use picks up. Ealing Broadway (Elizabeth line, Central, District) is the nearest station, so a W5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in W5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in W5, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — the pattern behind 18,588 households inside the W5 neighbourhood.
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.
Fixed prices
| 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
I asked Hello Services for a deep clean of the carpets of a house in London we were moving into.

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

Working in Ealing
Census 2021 puts Ealing at 18,588 households with a median age of 37.2. The mainly Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 37% houses and 63% flats need different handling in W5.
Private renting sits at 41% and owner-occupation at 45%; the first group books patio and decking cleaning at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in W5. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in W5, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — the pattern behind 18,588 households inside the W5 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Ealing knows the pattern near Ealing Studios and Walpole Park: the Queen of the Suburbs — Walpole Park, the studios and a busy Broadway. We plan the W5 visit around it. Ealing is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, broadway loading windows, permit bays on the villa streets and booked lifts in new blocks — 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 Ealing Broadway (Elizabeth line, Central, District).
