Overview

Patio and decking cleaning in South Harrow HA2, explained

This page prices patio and decking cleaning for South Harrow HA2 specifically: inter-war stock, 37% privately rented and 3,418 households in total. Work starts at £4.50, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Harrow permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.

How it works

How patio and decking cleaning works in South Harrow

Five steps, the same on every HA2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. South Harrow gives us terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings, and with 37% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 South Harrow customers book us

Four things decide whether a HA2 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.

South Harrow walls, not generic walls

We expect solid London stock brick in HA2, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the reality on the streets around Alexandra Park, South Harrow in HA2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in HA2, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — and with 26% one-person households in South Harrow, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.

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. Driveways on most streets; Northolt Road is busy with short loading bays.

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. South Harrow (Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a HA2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Fixed prices

Patio and decking cleaning prices in South Harrow

Fixed prices for HA2 and the rest of Harrow. 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 South Harrow HA2
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 South Harrow

The same scope across HA2, 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 South Harrow job sheet so the next visit starts from it
  • Standard on Harrow bookings: algae, moss and lichen in shaded, north-facing corners treated with a biocide first rather than pressure-blasted alone, allowing for the 37% of HA2 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
  • On HA2 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 South Harrow before anything is unpacked
  • In South Harrow: furniture and planters moved before cleaning and repositioned afterwards, timed against the walk in from South Harrow (Piccadilly)
  • Wastewater and any cleaning product run-off directed away from surface water drains during the wash — including patio and decking cleaning
  • Standard on Harrow bookings: a drainage check on roof terraces and balconies to confirm outlets are clear once the clean is finished, arranged with London Borough of Harrow where the kerb needs it

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 HA2
  • Repointing or re-bedding natural stone patio slabs that have come loose or sunk, which we refer on to the right trade in South Harrow
  • 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 HA2 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 South Harrow bookings

Thankyou to Nicole and Marius and colleagues for a superb clean of our family home.
