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.

Overview
Patio and decking cleaning in Tulse Hill SW2, explained
Patio and decking cleaning in Tulse Hill SW2 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Lambeth, most of them mainly Victorian. 3,391 households sit inside this SW2 patch, 80% of them flats, so we quote on access near Brockwell Park's southern edge rather than a London average.
How it works
How patio and decking cleaning works in Tulse Hill
Five steps, the same on every SW2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — the pattern behind 3,391 households inside the SW2 neighbourhood is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Tell us the surface and access
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
Fixed written quote
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
Clear and pre-treat
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
Wash at the right pressure
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
Dry, treat and hand back
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
Why Tulse Hill customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Tulse Hill wall.
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. Steep gradients, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station.
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. Tulse Hill (Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a SW2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Tulse Hill walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, measured on the walk in from Tulse Hill (Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map in SW2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Tulse Hill gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 80% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Tulse Hill actually produces.
Fixed prices
Patio and decking cleaning prices in Tulse Hill
Fixed prices for SW2 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 | 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. |

Domestic prices are the total you pay; managing agents and landlords are invoiced plus VAT at 20%.

Where a bowser or extended hose run is needed for a flat with no outside tap, that's shown as its own line.
Scope
What's included in Tulse Hill
The same scope across SW2, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Lambeth bookings: surface identified before we start — concrete, natural stone, softwood or composite — and the pressure and nozzle set for it, with 3,391 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Algae, moss and lichen in shaded, north-facing corners treated with a biocide first rather than pressure-blasted alone, checked on every SW2 visit
- In Tulse Hill: deck board gaps cleared of trapped leaves and debris so water drains through rather than pooling and rotting the joists, sized for the steep gradients, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station
- On SW2 jobs: furniture and planters moved before cleaning and repositioned afterwards, patio and decking cleaning included
- Standard on Lambeth bookings: wastewater and any cleaning product run-off directed away from surface water drains during the wash, allowing for the 19% of SW2 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- A drainage check on roof terraces and balconies to confirm outlets are clear once the clean is finished, noted on the Tulse Hill job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards — that's a repair job, quoted separately by our decking team, outside the fixed price on Tulse Hill bookings
- Repointing or re-bedding natural stone patio slabs that have come loose or sunk, and we will say so before the SW2 visit rather than on the day
- Deep oil or paint staining that has soaked into porous stone and may need professional poulticing rather than a surface wash, which we refer on to the right trade in Tulse Hill
- Structural work on raised decking or a roof terrace balustrade, which needs a qualified joiner or builder, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW2

Thankyou to Nicole and Marius and colleagues for a superb clean of our family home.

Tulse Hill SW2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Tulse Hill — the numbers that actually change a patio and decking cleaning quote.
Tulse Hill SW2 is mainly Victorian and social-housing-led: 80% of homes here are flats and 20% are houses, across 3,391 households (ONS Census 2021).
The social-housing-led mix here (25% owned, 19% privately rented) means a SW2 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, measured on the walk in from Tulse Hill (Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in SW2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Tulse Hill gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 80% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Tulse Hill actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
Hillside streets between Brixton and West Norwood with big Victorian houses. That character decides the practical detail of patio and decking cleaning here far more than the borough boundary does. Tulse Hill sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Steep gradients, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station. Nearest station is Tulse Hill (Thameslink), 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.

Common questions
Patio and decking cleaning in Tulse Hill SW2 — your questions.
How much does patio and decking cleaning cost in Tulse Hill SW2?
50 in Tulse Hill, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked around Tulse Hill (Thameslink), with 19% of SW2 homes being privately rented. 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 in Tulse Hill — and this being London Borough of Lambeth territory, with this being a short walk from Tulse Hill (Thameslink).
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Tulse Hill SW2?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Lambeth, with 30% one-person households here. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Tulse Hill most weeks across SW2, with 3,391 households on this patch.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Tulse Hill?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the Tulse Hill rounds, with 25% owner-occupation locally.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Tulse Hill doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in across SW2. With 80% of Tulse Hill homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the streets near Brockwell Park's southern edge, with Brockwell Park's southern edge a few streets away — and 30% one-person households here, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
How quickly can you reach Tulse Hill from your Lambeth round?
Brockwell Park's southern edge is the marker we route to across SW2, with 20% of Tulse Hill homes being houses, and steep gradients, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station. A SW2 slot added to an existing Lambeth round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Lambeth, with Lambeth parking rules in play.
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 on this side of Lambeth, with Lambeth parking rules in play. Tulse Hill sits close to Tulse Hill (Thameslink) across SW2, with 30% one-person households here, so we can usually add a SW2 job to an existing Lambeth round at short notice.
Do you handle difficult access in Tulse Hill?
Steep gradients, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station across SW2. 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 this being London Borough of Lambeth territory, with 3,391 households on this patch.
