Fixed prices

Patio and decking cleaning prices in Merton

Fixed prices for Merton, agreed before the crew is booked. 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. Where ULEZ, controlled parking zones and stair access apply in Merton, they are itemised rather than rolled into an hourly rate.

Working in Merton

Why Merton is not a generic London job

The All England Lawn Tennis Club, Wimbledon is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Merton.

The housing stock

Merton is built from edwardian villas in wimbledon, 1930s semis in raynes park and morden, and estates around mitcham, and the mix changes street by street — Colliers Wood (SW19), Mitcham (CR4) and Morden (SM4) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

On the ground, championship-fortnight restrictions in sw19, hill access to wimbledon village, and driveways common further out. Locally that means high street red route, riverside estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts and tram-line crossings, wide suburban roads and driveways on most streets. Merton sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.

London Borough of Merton rules

Roof terraces and raised decking added to flats across Merton sometimes needed planning permission or a lease variation when they were built, and London Borough of Merton 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.

How the borough got this way

Merton Priory and Wandle mills gave way to Victorian and interwar suburbs once the railway reached Wimbledon in 1838. That history is why Merton property behaves the way it does today.

Scope

What's included in Merton

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Colliers Wood or Wimbledon Park.

Included in the price

  • Surface identified first — concrete, natural stone, softwood or composite — and the pressure set for it
  • Algae, moss and lichen treated with a biocide before washing
  • Deck board gaps cleared so water drains through
  • Furniture and planters moved and repositioned

Not included

  • Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards
  • Repointing or re-bedding loose or sunken stone slabs
  • Deep oil or paint staining soaked into porous stone

Local questions

Patio and decking cleaning in Merton — your questions

  • How much does a patio or decking clean cost in Merton?

    Concrete flag patio, per m² starts at £4.50 in Merton, 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.

  • Which Merton postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: CR4, SM4, SW19 and SW20. On the ground that includes Colliers Wood, Mitcham, Morden, Raynes Park, Wimbledon and Wimbledon Park.

  • How quickly can you get to Merton?

    Same-week across every borough, with weekend slots common through spring and early summer when garden and roof-terrace use picks up. South London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.

  • What about parking and permits in Merton?

    Championship-fortnight restrictions in SW19, hill access to Wimbledon Village, and driveways common further out. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Merton and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

  • Do you work in Merton flats and blocks with no lift?

    Yes. Edwardian villas in Wimbledon, 1930s semis in Raynes Park and Morden, and estates around Mitcham 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.

  • Are you insured and licensed for work in Merton?

    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 Merton tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.

  • Who turns up, and with what?

    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 Merton postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.

  • What is not included?

    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 Merton, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

Diana and Alex carried out a deep clean for my property prior to new tenants arriving. The actually cleaning was superb and I would highly recommend them. The only downside was the office and booking system. The poor couple had to travel from Wimbledon to sidcup after waiting for the previous client to attend and… Read in full →
