Overview
Patio and decking cleaning in Lee SE12, explained
This page prices patio and decking cleaning for Lee SE12 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 22% privately rented and 6,151 households in total. Work starts at £4.50, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lewisham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How patio and decking cleaning works in Lee
Five steps, the same on every SE12 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings on these streets — measured on the walk in from Lee (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map 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 Lee customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Lee 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. Driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays.
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. Lee (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE12 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Lee walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick in SE12, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 27% one-person households in Lee, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SE12, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Lee gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 39% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Lee actually produces.
Fixed prices
Patio and decking cleaning prices in Lee
Fixed prices for SE12 and the rest of Lewisham. 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 Lee
The same scope across SE12, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: surface identified first — concrete, natural stone, softwood or composite — and the pressure set for it, allowing for the 22% of SE12 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Algae, moss and lichen treated with a biocide before washing, noted on the Lee job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Lee: deck board gaps cleared so water drains through, timed against the walk in from Lee (Southeastern)
- On SE12 jobs: furniture and planters moved and repositioned, agreed on the doorstep in Lee before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: wastewater directed away from surface water drains, arranged with London Borough of Lewisham where the kerb needs it
- Drainage outlets on roof terraces and balconies checked clear — including patio and decking cleaning
Not included
- Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards, outside the fixed price on Lee bookings
- Repointing or re-bedding loose or sunken stone slabs, and we will say so before the SE12 visit rather than on the day
- Deep oil or paint staining soaked into porous stone, which we refer on to the right trade in Lee
- Structural work on raised decking or balustrades, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE12

The cleaners I booked for my E14 flat did a great job, professional and thorough. It is easy to book services via Hello Services too. Will recommend them to anyone.

First time using this company and I could not be any happier I found them. Sekai, Gary and Richmond did an excellent job doing a full deep clean of my house. Professional, friendly and polite at all time, they made me confident the job would be of high standards from the start. Thank you very… Read in full →

Working in Lee
Lee SE12 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Lee — the numbers that actually change a patio and decking cleaning quote.
Lee SE12 is mainly Victorian and owner-occupier-led: 39% of homes here are flats and 60% are houses, across 6,151 households (ONS Census 2021).
The owner-occupier-led mix here (60% owned, 22% privately rented) means a SE12 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are solid London stock brick in SE12, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 27% one-person households in Lee, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Lee is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Lee gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 39% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Lee actually produces.
Manor House library, Lee Green's shops and streets of interwar houses. That character decides the practical detail of patio and decking cleaning here far more than the borough boundary does. Lee 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 many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays. Lee (Southeastern) 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.

Common questions
Patio and decking cleaning in Lee SE12 — your questions.
How much does patio and decking cleaning cost in Lee SE12?
50 in Lee, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked across SE12, with 60% of Lee homes being houses. 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 Lewisham — and 60% of Lee homes being houses, with Lewisham parking rules in play.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Lee SE12?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on SE12 jobs, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Lee most weeks on this side of Lewisham, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Lee?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on SE12 jobs, with 6,151 households on this patch.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Lee doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Lee rounds. With 39% of Lee homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across SE12, with 18% social-rented stock nearby — and this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
How quickly can you reach Lee from your Lewisham round?
The Manor House and its gardens is the marker we route to on SE12 jobs, with Lewisham parking rules in play — and a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, and driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays. A SE12 slot added to an existing Lewisham round usually lands the same week rather than the next around Lee (Southeastern), with 39% of homes here being flats.
Is same-day or evening patio and decking cleaning available in Lewisham?
Same-week across every borough, with weekend slots common through spring and early summer when garden and roof-terrace use picks up on the streets near The Manor House and its gardens, with 60% of Lee homes being houses. Lee sits close to Lee (Southeastern), with 18% social-rented stock nearby, so we can usually add a SE12 job to an existing Lewisham round at short notice for Lee (SE12) addresses.
Do you handle difficult access in Lee?
Driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays in Lee. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Lewisham it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on this side of Lewisham — and 27% one-person households here, with this being a short walk from Lee (Southeastern).
