Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Hammersmith, patio and decking cleaning here covers supply-free fitting from £4.50. With 85% of Hammersmith's 3,807 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in W6 shape the slot length we hold.
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. A4 red route, gyratory congestion and mansion blocks with small original lifts.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend slots common through spring and early summer when garden and roof-terrace use picks up. Hammersmith (District, Piccadilly, Circle, Hammersmith & City) is the nearest station, so a W6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Hammersmith, often with surface conduit — where 23% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in W6, 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 on these streets — the pattern behind 3,807 households inside the W6 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. 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.

Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Hammersmith, often with surface conduit — where 23% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Hammersmith is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — the pattern behind 3,807 households inside the W6 neighbourhood.
Anyone who knows Hammersmith knows the pattern near Hammersmith Bridge and the Riverside Studios: riverside pubs and the Lyric theatre either side of a busy flyover and bus station. We plan the W6 visit around it. Hammersmith is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, a4 red route, gyratory congestion and mansion blocks with small original lifts — 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.

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 this side of Hammersmith and Fulham — and this being London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham territory, with 39% social-rented stock nearby.
