Kingston upon Thames · KT3 · Patio and decking cleaning
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local New Malden fitters · Fixed written pricesNew Malden KT3 is a regular stop on our Kingston upon Thames round. Home to Europe's largest Korean community, with a high street to match, so patio and decking cleaning here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £4.50, in writing, with insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Patio and decking cleaning in New Malden KT3 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Kingston upon Thames, most of them mainly Edwardian. 6,674 households sit inside this KT3 patch, 30% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Korean high street on Burlington Road rather than a London average.
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. Driveways on most streets; the high street has short loading bays.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend slots common through spring and early summer when garden and roof-terrace use picks up. New Malden (South Western) is the nearest station, so a KT3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in KT3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — which is why Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames 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.
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. Loqman and his colleague arrived on time and were incredibly fast in firstly hoovering all to be worked on and then deep cleaning a total of seven sets of carpets across our first and second… Read in full →
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 →

Working in New Malden
The KT3 stock around The Korean high street on Burlington Road is mainly Edwardian. ONS records 30% flats, 70% houses and 6,674 households in New Malden.
Owner-occupation runs at 67% in New Malden, so alongside the 27% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
New Malden substrates run to solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — which is why Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a KT3 customer twice.
Anyone who knows New Malden knows the pattern near The Korean high street on Burlington Road: home to Europe's largest Korean community, with a high street to match. We plan the KT3 visit around it. New Malden is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: driveways on most streets; the high street has short loading bays. New Malden (South Western) is the nearest station, and 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.

50 in New Malden, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked on KT3 jobs, with The Korean high street on Burlington Road a few streets away. 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 Kingston upon Thames — and The Korean high street on Burlington Road a few streets away, with 70% of New Malden homes being houses.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in this 30% flats neighbourhood, with 67% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in New Malden most weeks on Kingston upon Thames bookings, with 6% 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 for New Malden (KT3) addresses, with this being Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames territory.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the New Malden rounds. With 30% of New Malden homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on KT3 jobs — and 6,674 households on this patch, with Kingston upon Thames parking rules in play, 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 the streets near The Korean high street on Burlington Road, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood — and 67% owner-occupation locally, and drainage outlets on roof terraces and balconies are checked and cleared as part of the visit. That paperwork is what most Kingston upon Thames letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat for New Malden (KT3) addresses, with this being Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames territory.
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 on KT3 jobs — and 70% of New Malden homes being houses, with 67% owner-occupation locally, which needs a qualified joiner or builder. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the New Malden KT3 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near The Korean high street on Burlington Road, with 6% social-rented stock nearby.
All three. With 27% of New Malden privately rented and 67% owner-occupied, roughly half the KT3 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for New Malden (KT3) addresses — and 70% of New Malden homes being houses, with this being a short walk from New Malden (South Western).
