Overview

Patio and decking cleaning in Northolt UB5, explained

This page prices patio and decking cleaning for Northolt UB5 specifically: inter-war stock, 26% privately rented and 9,850 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

How patio and decking cleaning works in Northolt

Five steps, the same on every UB5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Northolt gives us victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, which is what a 48% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Northolt actually produces is what we plan for here.
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 Northolt customers book us

Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Northolt wall.

Northolt walls, not generic walls

We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in UB5, with solid brick on the party and external walls — the pattern behind 9,850 households inside the UB5 neighbourhood in UB5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — measured on the walk in from Northolt (Central) rather than assumed from a map.

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. Wide estate roads, driveways and easy turning space throughout.

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. Northolt (Central) is the nearest station, so a UB5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Fixed prices

Patio and decking cleaning prices in Northolt

Fixed prices for UB5 and the rest of Ealing. 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.
Patio and decking cleaning price guide for Northolt UB5
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Concrete flag patio, per m²£4.50By areaManufactured concrete flags take a standard rotary surface cleaner at full pressure without any risk to the finish.
York stone or sandstone patio, per m²£6.50By areaNatural 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£5By areaSoftwood 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£5.50By areaComposite 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£4Added to visitSoftwood 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£7By areaNo 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.

Domestic prices are the total you pay; managing agents and landlords are invoiced plus VAT at 20%. Furniture moved off the patio or deck before cleaning and put back after, and clearing debris from drainage gaps between deck boards, are included. 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 Northolt

The same scope across UB5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.

Included in the price

  • Surface identified before we start — concrete, natural stone, softwood or composite — and the pressure and nozzle set for it, noted on the Northolt job sheet so the next visit starts from it
  • Standard on Ealing bookings: algae, moss and lichen in shaded, north-facing corners treated with a biocide first rather than pressure-blasted alone, allowing for the 26% of UB5 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
  • On UB5 jobs: deck board gaps cleared of trapped leaves and debris so water drains through rather than pooling and rotting the joists, agreed on the doorstep in Northolt before anything is unpacked
  • In Northolt: furniture and planters moved before cleaning and repositioned afterwards, timed against the walk in from Northolt (Central)
  • Wastewater and any cleaning product run-off directed away from surface water drains during the wash, checked on every UB5 visit
  • Standard on Ealing bookings: a drainage check on roof terraces and balconies to confirm outlets are clear once the clean is finished, with 9,850 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most

Not included

  • Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards — that's a repair job, quoted separately by our decking team, quoted separately if you need it arranged in UB5
  • Repointing or re-bedding natural stone patio slabs that have come loose or sunk, which we refer on to the right trade in Northolt
  • Deep oil or paint staining that has soaked into porous stone and may need professional poulticing rather than a surface wash, and we will say so before the UB5 visit rather than on the day
  • Structural work on raised decking or a roof terrace balustrade, which needs a qualified joiner or builder, outside the fixed price on Northolt bookings

Thankyou to Nicole and Marius and colleagues for a superb clean of our family home. It was done under difficult circumstances with removal people still emptying the property of furniture and boxes around them as we were moving out after nearly 40 years.

Working in Northolt

Northolt UB5 at a glance

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Northolt — the numbers that actually change a patio and decking cleaning quote.

Census 2021 puts Northolt at 9,850 households with a median age of 35.1. The inter-war stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 52% houses and 48% flats need different handling in UB5.

26% of households rent privately and 46% own, which is why patio and decking cleaning demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.

Northolt substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in UB5, with solid brick on the party and external walls — the pattern behind 9,850 households inside the UB5 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — measured on the walk in from Northolt (Central) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a UB5 customer twice.

Two streets can behave very differently in Northolt: the aerodrome, Northala Fields' pyramid mounds and post-war estate housing. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Northolt is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.

Wide estate roads, driveways and easy turning space throughout. Nearest station is Northolt (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 Northolt UB5 — your questions.

  • How much does patio and decking cleaning cost in Northolt UB5?

    50 in Northolt, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked for Northolt (UB5) addresses, with this being London Borough of Ealing territory. 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 on the Northolt rounds — and this being a short walk from Northolt (Central), with 48% of homes here being flats.

  • Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Northolt UB5?

    Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around Northolt (Central), with this being a short walk from Northolt (Central). We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Northolt most weeks, with 46% owner-occupation locally.

  • How long does flat-pack assembly take in Northolt?

    5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across UB5, with 28% social-rented stock nearby.

  • Will a built wardrobe fit through a Northolt doorway?

    That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Northolt rounds. With 48% of Northolt homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on UB5 jobs, with 26% of UB5 homes being privately rented — and 23% one-person households here, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

  • Who books patio and decking cleaning in Northolt UB5 — tenants, landlords or owners?

    All three. With 26% of Northolt privately rented and 46% owner-occupied, roughly half the UB5 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the Northolt rounds — and 48% of homes here being flats, with this being London Borough of Ealing territory.

  • How quickly can you reach Northolt from your Ealing round?

    Northala Fields is the marker we route to on this side of Ealing, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, and wide estate roads, driveways and easy turning space throughout. A UB5 slot added to an existing Ealing round usually lands the same week rather than the next in this 48% flats neighbourhood, with 9,850 households on this patch.

  • Is same-day or evening patio and decking cleaning available in Ealing?

    Same-week across every borough, with weekend slots common through spring and early summer when garden and roof-terrace use picks up on this side of Ealing, with Ealing parking rules in play. Northolt sits close to Northolt (Central), with 52% of Northolt homes being houses, so we can usually add a UB5 job to an existing Ealing round at short notice across UB5.
