How it works
How patio and decking cleaning works in Kennington
Five steps, the same on every SE11 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE11, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — and with 38% one-person households in Kennington, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Tell us the surface and access
Surface type, rough area, and whether there's an outside tap.
Step 2
Fixed written quote
Per square metre, with oiling and bowser water as separate lines.
Step 3
Clear and pre-treat
Furniture moved, gaps cleared, biocide soak on shaded growth.
Step 4
Wash at the right pressure
Full strength on concrete; stepped down on stone, softwood and composite.
Step 5
Dry, treat and hand back
Decking dried before oiling, drainage checked, furniture replaced.
Why choose us
Why Kennington customers book us
What follows is specific to Kennington: its walls, its access and the paperwork Lambeth agents ask for.
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. Match-day restrictions at the Oval, Duchy estate rules and basement-step access.
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. Kennington (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SE11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Kennington walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Kennington (Northern) rather than assumed from a map in SE11, 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, as the Kennington stock goes, and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Patio and decking cleaning prices in Kennington
Fixed prices for SE11 and the rest of Lambeth. 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 | 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. |

Scope
What's included in Kennington
The same scope across SE11, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Kennington: surface identified first — concrete, natural stone, softwood or composite — and the pressure set for it, the way it is done on Kennington jobs
- On SE11 jobs: algae, moss and lichen treated with a biocide before washing, with 88% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Lambeth bookings: deck board gaps cleared so water drains through, arranged with London Borough of Lambeth where the kerb needs it
- Furniture and planters moved and repositioned — including patio and decking cleaning
- In Kennington: wastewater directed away from surface water drains, timed against the walk in from Kennington (Northern)
- On SE11 jobs: drainage outlets on roof terraces and balconies checked clear, agreed on the doorstep in Kennington before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards, outside the fixed price on Kennington bookings
- Repointing or re-bedding loose or sunken stone slabs, and we will say so before the SE11 visit rather than on the day
- Deep oil or paint staining soaked into porous stone, handled by London Borough of Lambeth or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural work on raised decking or balustrades, which we refer on to the right trade in Kennington

Kennington SE11 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Kennington — the numbers that actually change a patio and decking cleaning quote.
In Kennington (SE11) the split is 88% flats to 12% houses over 8,644 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
With 25% private renting against 28% owner-occupied, most SE11 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from Kennington (Northern) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Kennington is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Kennington stock goes, and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Georgian terraces, the Oval's gasholders and the park between them. That character decides the practical detail of patio and decking cleaning here far more than the borough boundary does. Kennington sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, match-day restrictions at the Oval, Duchy estate rules and basement-step access — 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 Kennington (Northern).

Common questions
Patio and decking cleaning in Kennington SE11 — your questions.
How much does patio and decking cleaning cost in Kennington SE11?
50 in Kennington, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked across SE11, with 38% one-person households here. 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 Lambeth — and a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, with Lambeth parking rules in play.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Kennington SE11?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around Kennington (Northern), with 28% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Kennington most weeks on SE11 jobs, with this being a short walk from Kennington (Northern).
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Kennington?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for Kennington (SE11) addresses, with The Kia Oval a few streets away.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Kennington doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in around Kennington (Northern). With 88% of Kennington homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on SE11 jobs, with this being a short walk from Kennington (Northern), so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
How quickly can you reach Kennington from your Lambeth round?
The Kia Oval is the marker we route to around Kennington (Northern), with this being London Borough of Lambeth territory, and match-day restrictions at the Oval, Duchy estate rules and basement-step access. A SE11 slot added to an existing Lambeth round usually lands the same week rather than the next in Kennington, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood.
Is same-day or evening patio and decking cleaning available in Lambeth?
Same-week across every borough, with weekend slots common through spring and early summer when garden and roof-terrace use picks up around Kennington (Northern), with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood. Kennington sits close to Kennington (Northern), with this being London Borough of Lambeth territory, so we can usually add a SE11 job to an existing Lambeth round at short notice on SE11 jobs.
Do you handle difficult access in Kennington?
Match-day restrictions at the Oval, Duchy estate rules and basement-step access in Kennington. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Lambeth it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on this side of Lambeth — and 38% one-person households here, with Lambeth parking rules in play.
