Overview

Patio and decking cleaning in Mortlake and East Sheen SW14, explained

Patio and decking cleaning in Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Richmond upon Thames, most of them mainly Edwardian. 4,944 households sit inside this SW14 patch, 50% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Boat Race finishing post rather than a London average.

How it works

How patio and decking cleaning works in Mortlake and East Sheen

Five steps, the same on every SW14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Mortlake and East Sheen stock goes, where 56% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is what we plan for here.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 Mortlake and East Sheen customers book us

Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Mortlake and East Sheen wall.

Mortlake and East Sheen walls, not generic walls

We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in Mortlake and East Sheen, with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around The Boat Race finishing post in SW14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SW14, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.

Insured and documented

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.

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. Level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces.

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. Mortlake (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Fixed prices

Patio and decking cleaning prices in Mortlake and East Sheen

Fixed prices for SW14 and the rest of Richmond upon Thames. 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.
Patio and decking cleaning price guide for Mortlake and East Sheen SW14
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Concrete flag patio, per m²£4.50By areaManufactured concrete flags take a standard rotary surface cleaner at full pressure without any risk to the finish.
York stone or sandstone patio, per m²£6.50By areaNatural 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£5By areaSoftwood 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£5.50By areaComposite 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£4Added to visitSoftwood 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£7By areaNo 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%. Furniture moved off the patio or deck before cleaning and put back after, and clearing debris from drainage gaps between deck boards, are included. 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 Mortlake and East Sheen

The same scope across SW14, whether the job is a single item or a full room.

Included in the price

  • On SW14 jobs: surface identified before we start — concrete, natural stone, softwood or composite — and the pressure and nozzle set for it, agreed on the doorstep in Mortlake and East Sheen before anything is unpacked
  • In Mortlake and East Sheen: algae, moss and lichen in shaded, north-facing corners treated with a biocide first rather than pressure-blasted alone, timed against the walk in from Mortlake (South Western)
  • Deck board gaps cleared of trapped leaves and debris so water drains through rather than pooling and rotting the joists, noted on the Mortlake and East Sheen job sheet so the next visit starts from it
  • Standard on Richmond upon Thames bookings: furniture and planters moved before cleaning and repositioned afterwards, allowing for the 28% of SW14 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
  • On SW14 jobs: wastewater and any cleaning product run-off directed away from surface water drains during the wash, patio and decking cleaning included
  • In Mortlake and East Sheen: a drainage check on roof terraces and balconies to confirm outlets are clear once the clean is finished, sized for the level-crossing delays, boat race day closures and permit bays on the terraces

Not included

  • Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards — that's a repair job, quoted separately by our decking team, and we will say so before the SW14 visit rather than on the day
  • Repointing or re-bedding natural stone patio slabs that have come loose or sunk, outside the fixed price on Mortlake and East Sheen bookings
  • Deep oil or paint staining that has soaked into porous stone and may need professional poulticing rather than a surface wash, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW14
  • Structural work on raised decking or a roof terrace balustrade, which needs a qualified joiner or builder, which we refer on to the right trade in Mortlake and East Sheen

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

Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 at a glance

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Mortlake and East Sheen — the numbers that actually change a patio and decking cleaning quote.

Walk Mortlake and East Sheen from The Boat Race finishing post outwards and the mainly Edwardian pattern is obvious: 50% of the 4,944 households in SW14 live in flats, 50% in houses.

28% of households rent privately and 56% own, which is why patio and decking cleaning demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.

Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in Mortlake and East Sheen, with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around The Boat Race finishing post, so the fixing that matters in Mortlake and East Sheen is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SW14, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.

Two streets can behave very differently in Mortlake and East Sheen: the Boat Race finish, the old brewery site and East Sheen's shopping parade. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Mortlake and East Sheen 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: level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces. Mortlake (South Western) 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.

    Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Richmond upon Thames, with 28% of SW14 homes being privately rented. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Mortlake and East Sheen most weeks on SW14 jobs, with this being a short walk from Mortlake (South Western).

  • How long does flat-pack assembly take in Mortlake and East Sheen?

    5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on Richmond upon Thames bookings, with this being a short walk from Mortlake (South Western). London Borough of Richmond upon Thames rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.

  • Will a built wardrobe fit through a Mortlake and East Sheen doorway?

    That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in Mortlake and East Sheen. With 50% of Mortlake and East Sheen homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Mortlake and East Sheen (SW14) addresses, with The Boat Race finishing post a few streets away — and 50% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

  • Who books patio and decking cleaning in Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 — tenants, landlords or owners?

    All three. With 28% of Mortlake and East Sheen privately rented and 56% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW14 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the streets near The Boat Race finishing post — and 56% owner-occupation locally, with Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play.

  • How quickly can you reach Mortlake and East Sheen from your Richmond upon Thames round?

    The Boat Race finishing post is the marker we route to for Mortlake and East Sheen (SW14) addresses, with 4,944 households on this patch, and level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces. A SW14 slot added to an existing Richmond upon Thames round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near The Boat Race finishing post, with 32% one-person households here.

  • Is same-day or evening patio and decking cleaning available in Richmond upon Thames?

    Same-week across every borough, with weekend slots common through spring and early summer when garden and roof-terrace use picks up on Richmond upon Thames bookings, with 32% one-person households here. Mortlake and East Sheen sits close to Mortlake (South Western) in this 50% flats neighbourhood, with 4,944 households on this patch — and 56% owner-occupation locally, so we can usually add a SW14 job to an existing Richmond upon Thames round at short notice.
