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.

Overview
Patio and decking cleaning in Greenwich SE10, explained
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Cutty Sark, patio and decking cleaning here covers supply-free fitting from £4.50. With 73% of Greenwich's 17,397 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE10 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How patio and decking cleaning works in Greenwich
Five steps, the same on every SE10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — with 29% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is what we plan for here.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Greenwich customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE10 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access.
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. Cutty Sark (DLR) is the nearest station, so a SE10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Greenwich walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SE10, with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Cutty Sark (DLR) rather than assumed from a map in SE10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Greenwich gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, which is what a 73% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Greenwich actually produces.
Fixed prices
Patio and decking cleaning prices in Greenwich
Fixed prices for SE10 and the rest of Greenwich. 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.
| 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. |

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 Greenwich
The same scope across SE10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: surface identified before we start — concrete, natural stone, softwood or composite — and the pressure and nozzle set for it, with 17,397 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Algae, moss and lichen in shaded, north-facing corners treated with a biocide first rather than pressure-blasted alone, checked on every SE10 visit
- In Greenwich: deck board gaps cleared of trapped leaves and debris so water drains through rather than pooling and rotting the joists, sized for the cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access
- On SE10 jobs: furniture and planters moved before cleaning and repositioned afterwards, patio and decking cleaning prices included
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: wastewater and any cleaning product run-off directed away from surface water drains during the wash, arranged with Royal Borough of Greenwich where the kerb needs it
- A drainage check on roof terraces and balconies to confirm outlets are clear once the clean is finished — including local patio and decking cleaning
Not included
- Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards — that's a repair job, quoted separately by our decking team, which we refer on to the right trade in Greenwich
- Repointing or re-bedding natural stone patio slabs that have come loose or sunk, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE10
- 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 SE10 visit rather than on the day
- Structural work on raised decking or a roof terrace balustrade, which needs a qualified joiner or builder, handled by Royal Borough of Greenwich or a specialist contractor instead

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.

Greenwich SE10 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Greenwich — the numbers that actually change a patio and decking cleaning quote.
17,397 households sit inside the SE10 neighbourhood covering Greenwich. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 73% of those homes are flats.
Because 31% of Greenwich is privately rented and 29% socially rented, a lot of SE10 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Greenwich substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SE10, with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Cutty Sark (DLR) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Greenwich gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, which is what a 73% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Greenwich actually produces is the mistake that costs a SE10 customer twice.
World Heritage centre of the market, the Cutty Sark and the Observatory on the hill. That character decides the practical detail of patio and decking cleaning here far more than the borough boundary does. Greenwich is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access. Nearest station is Cutty Sark (DLR), 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 Greenwich SE10 — your questions.
How much does patio and decking cleaning cost in Greenwich SE10?
50 in Greenwich, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked across SE10, with this being a short walk from Cutty Sark (DLR). 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 Greenwich rounds, with 40% owner-occupation locally — and 32% one-person households here.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Greenwich SE10?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions across SE10, with Greenwich parking rules in play. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Greenwich most weeks around Cutty Sark (DLR), with 32% one-person households here.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Greenwich?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in Greenwich, with The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark a few streets away.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Greenwich doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark. With 73% of Greenwich homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Greenwich (SE10) addresses — and a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich 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 Greenwich?
Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards — that's a repair job, quoted separately by our decking team; Repointing or re-bedding natural stone patio slabs that have come loose or sunk; Deep oil or paint staining that has soaked into porous stone and may need professional poulticing rather than a surface wash; Structural work on raised decking or a roof terrace balustrade on SE10 jobs, with 31% of SE10 homes being privately rented — and this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, which needs a qualified joiner or builder. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Greenwich SE10 price you agree is the price you pay around Cutty Sark (DLR), with this being a short walk from Cutty Sark (DLR).
Who books patio and decking cleaning in Greenwich SE10 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 31% of Greenwich privately rented and 40% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE10 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark — and 31% of SE10 homes being privately rented, with 29% social-rented stock nearby.
How quickly can you reach Greenwich from your Greenwich round?
The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark is the marker we route to on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark, with 27% of Greenwich homes being houses — and Greenwich parking rules in play, and cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access. A SE10 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next across SE10, with The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark a few streets away.
