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 Rainham RM13, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Rainham, patio and decking cleaning here covers supply-free fitting from £4.50. With 15% of Rainham's 5,122 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in RM13 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How patio and decking cleaning works in Rainham
Five steps, the same on every RM13 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls on these streets — the pattern behind 5,122 households inside the RM13 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 Rainham customers book us
Four things decide whether a RM13 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. New estate roads are wide with drives; the village lanes are narrow and one-way.
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. Rainham (c2c) is the nearest station, so a RM13 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Rainham walls, not generic walls
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside, and new estate roads are wide with drives; the village lanes are narrow and one-way in RM13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Rainham gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, which is what a 15% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Rainham actually produces.
Fixed prices
Patio and decking cleaning prices in Rainham
Fixed prices for RM13 and the rest of Havering. 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 Rainham
The same scope across RM13, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Havering bookings: surface identified before we start — concrete, natural stone, softwood or composite — and the pressure and nozzle set for it, arranged with London Borough of Havering where the kerb needs it
- Algae, moss and lichen in shaded, north-facing corners treated with a biocide first rather than pressure-blasted alone — including patio and decking cleaning london
- In Rainham: deck board gaps cleared of trapped leaves and debris so water drains through rather than pooling and rotting the joists, the way it is done on Rainham jobs
- On RM13 jobs: furniture and planters moved before cleaning and repositioned afterwards, with 15% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Havering bookings: wastewater and any cleaning product run-off directed away from surface water drains during the wash, with 5,122 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- A drainage check on roof terraces and balconies to confirm outlets are clear once the clean is finished, checked on every RM13 visit
Not included
- Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards — that's a repair job, quoted separately by our decking team, and we will say so before the RM13 visit rather than on the day
- Repointing or re-bedding natural stone patio slabs that have come loose or sunk, which we refer on to the right trade in Rainham
- Deep oil or paint staining that has soaked into porous stone and may need professional poulticing rather than a surface wash, quoted separately if you need it arranged in RM13
- Structural work on raised decking or a roof terrace balustrade, which needs a qualified joiner or builder, outside the fixed price on Rainham bookings

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

Working in Rainham
Rainham RM13 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Rainham — the numbers that actually change a patio and decking cleaning quote.
In Rainham (RM13) the split is 15% flats to 85% houses over 5,122 households, and the stock is post-war.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (73% owned, 18% privately rented) means a RM13 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside, and new estate roads are wide with drives; the village lanes are narrow and one-way behind the plaster in RM13. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Rainham gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, which is what a 15% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Rainham actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
Thames-side village with the marshes, the Tudor hall and new riverside housing. That character decides the practical detail of patio and decking cleaning here far more than the borough boundary does. Rainham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, new estate roads are wide with drives; the village lanes are narrow and one-way — 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. Fitters travelling in use Rainham (c2c).

Common questions
Patio and decking cleaning in Rainham RM13 — your questions.
How much does patio and decking cleaning cost in Rainham RM13?
50 in Rainham, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked across RM13, with Havering parking rules in play. 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 Rainham rounds — and 5,122 households on this patch, with 15% of homes here being flats.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Rainham RM13?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on RM13 jobs, with 5,122 households on this patch. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Rainham most weeks on the Rainham rounds, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Rainham?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on RM13 jobs, with 25% one-person households here.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Rainham doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in Rainham. With 15% of Rainham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Havering bookings, with 85% of Rainham homes being houses — and 15% 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 Rainham from your Havering round?
Rainham Hall and Rainham Marshes RSPB reserve is the marker we route to for Rainham (RM13) addresses — and 18% of RM13 homes being privately rented, with 15% of homes here being flats, and new estate roads are wide with drives; the village lanes are narrow and one-way. A RM13 slot added to an existing Havering round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near Rainham Hall and Rainham Marshes RSPB reserve, with this being London Borough of Havering territory.
Is same-day or evening patio and decking cleaning available in Havering?
Same-week across every borough, with weekend slots common through spring and early summer when garden and roof-terrace use picks up in this 15% flats neighbourhood, with Rainham Hall and Rainham Marshes RSPB reserve a few streets away. Rainham sits close to Rainham (c2c), with 85% of Rainham homes being houses, so we can usually add a RM13 job to an existing Havering round at short notice on this side of Havering.
Do you handle difficult access in Rainham?
New estate roads are wide with drives; the village lanes are narrow and one-way on this side of Havering. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Havering it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards in this 15% flats neighbourhood — and 5,122 households on this patch, with 15% of homes here being flats. With 15% of homes in Rainham being flats, we plan the route up front.
