Overview
Patio and decking cleaning in Palmers Green N13 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Enfield, most of them mainly Edwardian. 6,566 households sit inside this N13 patch, 41% of them flats, so we quote on access near Broomfield Park rather than a London average.
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. Green Lanes is a red route with tight side-street access and permit bays.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend slots common through spring and early summer when garden and roof-terrace use picks up. Palmers Green (Great Northern) is the nearest station, so a N13 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — the reality on the streets around Broomfield Park in N13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in N13, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — which is why London Borough of Enfield kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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. 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.

Palmers Green substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — the reality on the streets around Broomfield Park. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in N13, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — which is why London Borough of Enfield kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a N13 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Palmers Green knows the pattern near Broomfield Park: green Lanes' Greek Cypriot shops and long Edwardian terraces. We plan the N13 visit around it. Palmers Green is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: green Lanes is a red route with tight side-street access and permit bays. Palmers Green (Great Northern) is the nearest station, 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.

50 in Palmers Green, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked in this 41% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood. 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 for Palmers Green (N13) addresses — and Broomfield Park a few streets away, with this being London Borough of Enfield territory.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on N13 jobs, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Palmers Green most weeks on the streets near Broomfield Park, with 6,566 households on this patch.
For N13 bookings, 5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in this 41% flats neighbourhood, with 26% one-person households here. Around Palmers Green (Great Northern) we allow for the parking and the walk-in before the slot is confirmed.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Enfield. With 41% of Palmers Green homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on N13 jobs — and Enfield parking rules in play, with this being London Borough of Enfield territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
All three. With 30% of Palmers Green privately rented and 63% owner-occupied, roughly half the N13 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in Palmers Green, with 63% owner-occupation locally — and this being London Borough of Enfield territory.
Broomfield Park is the marker we route to on the Palmers Green rounds, with this being a short walk from Palmers Green (Great Northern), and green Lanes is a red route with tight side-street access and permit bays. A N13 slot added to an existing Enfield round usually lands the same week rather than the next on N13 jobs, with 63% owner-occupation locally.
