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 Hoxton N1, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Hoxton, patio and decking cleaning here covers supply-free fitting from £4.50. With 96% of Hoxton's 7,353 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in N1 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How patio and decking cleaning works in Hoxton
Five steps, the same on every N1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In N1, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — the pattern behind 7,353 households inside the N1 neighbourhood 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 Hoxton customers book us
Four things decide whether a N1 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. Low-traffic filters on side streets, permit bays and loft stairs with tight turns.
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. Hoxton (Overground) is the nearest station, so a N1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Hoxton walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Hoxton, often with surface conduit, and with 38% one-person households in Hoxton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in N1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Hoxton stock goes, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Patio and decking cleaning prices in Hoxton
Fixed prices for N1 and the rest of Hackney. 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 Hoxton
The same scope across N1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Hoxton: surface identified before we start — concrete, natural stone, softwood or composite — and the pressure and nozzle set for it, the way it is done on Hoxton jobs
- On N1 jobs: algae, moss and lichen in shaded, north-facing corners treated with a biocide first rather than pressure-blasted alone, with 96% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Hackney bookings: deck board gaps cleared of trapped leaves and debris so water drains through rather than pooling and rotting the joists, arranged with London Borough of Hackney where the kerb needs it
- Furniture and planters moved before cleaning and repositioned afterwards — including patio and decking cleaning prices
- In Hoxton: wastewater and any cleaning product run-off directed away from surface water drains during the wash, sized for the low-traffic filters on side streets, permit bays and loft stairs with tight turns
- On N1 jobs: a drainage check on roof terraces and balconies to confirm outlets are clear once the clean is finished, patio and decking cleaning included
Not included
- Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards — that's a repair job, quoted separately by our decking team, outside the fixed price on Hoxton bookings
- Repointing or re-bedding natural stone patio slabs that have come loose or sunk, and we will say so before the N1 visit rather than on the day
- Deep oil or paint staining that has soaked into porous stone and may need professional poulticing rather than a surface wash, handled by London Borough of Hackney or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural work on raised decking or a roof terrace balustrade, which needs a qualified joiner or builder, which we refer on to the right trade in Hoxton

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 Hoxton
Hoxton N1 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Hoxton — the numbers that actually change a patio and decking cleaning quote.
Hoxton N1 is Georgian and early Victorian and social-housing-led: 96% of homes here are flats and 3% are houses, across 7,353 households (ONS Census 2021).
The social-housing-led mix here (22% owned, 33% privately rented) means a N1 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Hoxton substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Hoxton, often with surface conduit, and with 38% one-person households in Hoxton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Hoxton stock goes, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a N1 customer twice.
Hoxton Square, Geffrye Museum gardens and a mix of estates and converted workshops. That character decides the practical detail of patio and decking cleaning here far more than the borough boundary does. Hoxton 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: low-traffic filters on side streets, permit bays and loft stairs with tight turns. Hoxton (Overground) 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.

Common questions
Patio and decking cleaning in Hoxton N1 — your questions.
How much does patio and decking cleaning cost in Hoxton N1?
50 in Hoxton, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked around Hoxton (Overground), with 3% of Hoxton homes being houses. 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 across N1 — and 7,353 households on this patch, with The Museum of the Home a few streets away.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Hoxton N1?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around Hoxton (Overground), with 45% social-rented stock nearby. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Hoxton most weeks on N1 jobs, with 22% owner-occupation locally.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Hoxton?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on Hackney bookings, with 3% of Hoxton homes being houses.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Hoxton doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in Hoxton. With 96% of Hoxton homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm around Hoxton (Overground) — and 33% of N1 homes being privately rented, with 96% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
How quickly can you reach Hoxton from your Hackney round?
The Museum of the Home is the marker we route to around Hoxton (Overground), with Hackney parking rules in play, and low-traffic filters on side streets, permit bays and loft stairs with tight turns. A N1 slot added to an existing Hackney round usually lands the same week rather than the next in Hoxton, with 96% of homes here being flats.
Is same-day or evening patio and decking cleaning available in Hackney?
Same-week across every borough, with weekend slots common through spring and early summer when garden and roof-terrace use picks up around Hoxton (Overground), with 3% of Hoxton homes being houses. Hoxton sits close to Hoxton (Overground), with 45% social-rented stock nearby, so we can usually add a N1 job to an existing Hackney round at short notice in this 96% flats neighbourhood.
Do you handle difficult access in Hoxton?
Low-traffic filters on side streets, permit bays and loft stairs with tight turns around Hoxton (Overground). Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Hackney it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards in Hoxton — and 22% owner-occupation locally, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood.
