Overview
This page prices patio and decking cleaning for Hampton and Hampton Hill TW12 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 19% privately rented and 5,132 households in total. Work starts at £4.50, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Richmond upon Thames permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
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
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
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
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
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
Same-week across every borough, with weekend slots common through spring and early summer when garden and roof-terrace use picks up. Hampton (South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW12 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in TW12, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 30% one-person households in Hampton and Hampton Hill, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in TW12, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Hampton and Hampton Hill stock goes, where 65% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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.
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. Riverside lanes are narrow and flood-prone; driveways elsewhere.
Fixed prices
| 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. |

Scope
I asked Hello Services for a deep clean of the carpets of a house in London we were moving into.

Thankyou to Nicole and Marius and colleagues for a superb clean of our family home. It was done under difficult circumstances with removal people still emptying the property of furniture and boxes around them as we were moving out after nearly 40 years.

Working in Hampton and Hampton Hill
In Hampton and Hampton Hill (TW12) the split is 38% flats to 62% houses over 5,132 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
With 19% private renting against 65% owner-occupied, most TW12 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect solid London stock brick in TW12, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and with 30% one-person households in Hampton and Hampton Hill, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in TW12. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Hampton and Hampton Hill stock goes, where 65% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Hampton and Hampton Hill is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — riverside village near the palace, with the park and reservoirs behind — which is why a TW12 quote is not a Richmond upon Thames average.
On access, riverside lanes are narrow and flood-prone; driveways elsewhere — 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 Hampton (South Western).

50 in Hampton and Hampton Hill, with 62% of Hampton and Hampton Hill homes being houses, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked across TW12. 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 Richmond upon Thames — and this being a short walk from Hampton (South Western), with Hampton Court Palace nearby and Bushy Park a few streets away.

We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Hampton and Hampton Hill most weeks on the Hampton and Hampton Hill rounds, with Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play.

That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in this 38% flats neighbourhood. With 38% of Hampton and Hampton Hill homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Hampton and Hampton Hill (TW12) addresses, with this being a short walk from Hampton (South Western) — and Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Riverside lanes are narrow and flood-prone; driveways elsewhere.

On Hampton and Hampton Hill jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
Wastewater containing detergent or biocide is contained and directed away from surface water drains during the clean on TW12 jobs, with Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play — and 5,132 households on this patch, and drainage outlets on roof terraces and balconies are checked and cleared as part of the visit. That paperwork is what most Richmond upon Thames letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the Hampton and Hampton Hill rounds, with 62% of Hampton and Hampton Hill homes being houses.
Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards — that's a repair job, quoted separately by our decking team; Repointing or re-bedding natural stone patio slabs that have come loose or sunk; Deep oil or paint staining that has soaked into porous stone and may need professional poulticing rather than a surface wash; Structural work on raised decking or a roof terrace balustrade across TW12 — and Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play, with a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood, which needs a qualified joiner or builder. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Hampton and Hampton Hill TW12 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Richmond upon Thames, with 5,132 households on this patch.
