How it works
Step 1

Step 2
Per square metre, with oiling and bowser water as separate lines.
Step 3
Furniture moved, gaps cleared, biocide soak on shaded growth.
Step 4
Full strength on concrete; stepped down on stone, softwood and composite.
Step 5
Decking dried before oiling, drainage checked, furniture replaced.
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. Red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend slots common through spring and early summer when garden and roof-terrace use picks up. Old Street (Northern, Great Northern) is the nearest station, so a EC1V visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Old Street, often with surface conduit — measured on the walk in from Old Street (Northern, Great Northern) rather than assumed from a map in EC1V, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in EC1V, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — which is why London Borough of Islington kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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.

Scope
Fantastic and thorough clean. Nicole and Marius arrived on time with all the equipment needed for the deep clean. The flat looks stunning. This is the second time in a year we have used their services and both times it’s been fantastic. Really was a fantastic service from them and can’t recommend them enough
Good value - landlord happy! Didn't have to use the guarantee as the landlord didn't raise any issues. Found customer service helpful and responsive via email. Invoice was clear and easy to understand. Competitive price as well.
I loved the service as the flat was left spotlessly clean! Cynthia was the team leader and she did a great job!

Concrete flag patio, per m² starts with a free written quote in Old Street across EC1V, with 98% of homes here being flats — and a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a crew is booked. 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 streets near Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground, with Islington parking rules in play.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the Old Street rounds, with this being London Borough of Islington territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Old Street most weeks on EC1V jobs, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood.

Wastewater containing detergent or biocide is contained and directed away from surface water drains during the clean across EC1V, with 28% of EC1V homes being privately rented, and drainage outlets on roof terraces and balconies are checked and cleared as part of the visit.

Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards; Repointing or re-bedding loose or sunken stone slabs; Deep oil or paint staining soaked into porous stone; Structural work on raised decking or balustrades around Old Street (Northern, Great Northern), with 19% owner-occupation locally.
