Overview
This page prices patio and decking cleaning for Ladbroke Grove W10 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 11% privately rented and 2,309 households in total. Work starts at £4.50, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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. Tower blocks with single goods lifts requiring booking, plus narrow market-street loading.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend slots common through spring and early summer when garden and roof-terrace use picks up. Ladbroke Grove (Circle, Hammersmith & City) is the nearest station, so a W10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in W10, often with surface conduit — where 16% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in W10, 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 2,309 households inside the W10 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. We were extremely happy with the end result and am sure that… Read in full →

Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in W10, often with surface conduit — where 16% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Ladbroke Grove 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 2,309 households inside the W10 neighbourhood.
Anyone who knows Ladbroke Grove knows the pattern near Trellick Tower: the Westway, Golborne Road's market and the streets around Grenfell's memorial. We plan the W10 visit around it. Ladbroke Grove sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.

50 in Ladbroke Grove, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood. 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 Kensington and Chelsea bookings — and 11% of W10 homes being privately rented, with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on W10 jobs, with 16% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Ladbroke Grove most weeks around Ladbroke Grove (Circle, Hammersmith & City), with 73% social-rented stock nearby.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across W10, with 73% social-rented stock nearby.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in around Ladbroke Grove (Circle, Hammersmith & City). With 86% of Ladbroke Grove homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in Ladbroke Grove — and 36% one-person households here, with this being a short walk from Ladbroke Grove (Circle, Hammersmith & City), so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Wastewater containing detergent or biocide is contained and directed away from surface water drains during the clean on this side of Kensington and Chelsea, with 14% of Ladbroke Grove homes being houses — and 36% one-person households here, and drainage outlets on roof terraces and balconies are checked and cleared as part of the visit. That paperwork is what most Kensington and Chelsea letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat across W10, with 73% social-rented stock nearby.
Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards — that's a repair job, quoted separately by our decking team; Repointing or re-bedding natural stone patio slabs that have come loose or sunk; Deep oil or paint staining that has soaked into porous stone and may need professional poulticing rather than a surface wash; Structural work on raised decking or a roof terrace balustrade in Ladbroke Grove — and Trellick Tower a few streets away, with Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play, which needs a qualified joiner or builder. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Ladbroke Grove W10 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Kensington and Chelsea, with 86% of homes here being flats.
All three. With 11% of Ladbroke Grove privately rented and 16% owner-occupied, roughly half the W10 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across W10 — and Trellick Tower a few streets away, with 36% one-person households here.
