London patio and decking cleaning · Central London
We work in Lambeth every week — south bank culture, brixton's markets and the victorian grid running out to streatham. Patio and decking cleaning is priced against that reality, not a national average.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete flag patio, per m² | £4.50 | By area | Full-pressure rotary surface cleaner. |
| York stone or sandstone patio, per m² | £6.50 | By area | Lower pressure, stone-safe cleaner. |
| Softwood decking clean, per m² | £5 | By area | Low pressure, nozzle kept moving. |
| Composite decking clean, per m² | £5.50 | By area | Wide fan nozzle protects the capping layer. |
| Decking oiling or re-staining after cleaning, per m² | £4 | Added to visit | Separate pass once boards have dried. |
| Roof terrace or balcony deck, per m² | £7 | By area | Bowser water and a drainage check. |
Domestic prices are the total you pay; managing agents and landlords are invoiced plus VAT at 20%. Furniture moving and clearing deck-board drainage gaps are included; a bowser or extended hose run is shown as its own line.
Working in Lambeth
The stock in Lambeth is victorian terraces and conversions, edwardian mansion blocks and estates such as angell town, and the mix changes street by street — Balham (SW12), Brixton (SW9) and Clapham (SW4) each behave differently on the day.
On the ground, red routes on the a23 and a3, seven-day cpzs in brixton and clapham, and heavy nightlife loading pressure. Locally that means very tight cpz, narrow streets and art deco blocks with small original lifts and market and nightlife congestion, red routes on the a23 and permit-only side streets. Part of Lambeth sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.
Roof terraces and raised decking added to flats across Lambeth sometimes needed planning permission or a lease variation when they were built, and London Borough of Lambeth can ask for evidence the drainage still works as designed. We check the deck boards and the drainage outlets are clear before and after cleaning, since a blocked gulley is what turns a clean deck into a leak into the flat below.
Lambeth took its present shape because marshland drained for pleasure gardens, then covered in victorian terraces; the windrush generation reshaped brixton from 1948.

Concrete flag patio, per m² starts at £4.50 in Lambeth, and the ladder runs up to £7 for the largest job on the table above. 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. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.
We cover the whole borough: SE1, SE11, SE19, SE24, SE27, SW12, SW16, SW2, SW4 and SW8 and the rest of the Lambeth outward codes. On the ground that includes Balham, Brixton, Clapham, Gipsy Hill, Kennington and Norbury.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend slots common through spring and early summer when garden and roof-terrace use picks up. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Red routes on the A23 and A3, seven-day CPZs in Brixton and Clapham, and heavy nightlife loading pressure. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Lambeth and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Victorian terraces and conversions, Edwardian mansion blocks and estates such as Angell Town is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Lambeth tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
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. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Lambeth postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards, Repointing or re-bedding loose or sunken stone slabs and Deep oil or paint staining soaked into porous stone. If something on that list turns up in Lambeth, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.
