How it works

How patio and decking cleaning works in Dulwich Village

Five steps, the same on every SE21 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Dulwich Village gives us council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, the reality on the streets around Dulwich Picture Gallery is what we plan for here.
  1. Step 1

    Tell us the surface and access

    Surface type, rough area, and whether there's an outside tap.

  2. Step 2

    Fixed written quote

    Per square metre, with oiling and bowser water as separate lines.

  3. Step 3

    Clear and pre-treat

    Furniture moved, gaps cleared, biocide soak on shaded growth.

  4. Step 4

    Wash at the right pressure

    Full strength on concrete; stepped down on stone, softwood and composite.

  5. Step 5

    Dry, treat and hand back

    Decking dried before oiling, drainage checked, furniture replaced.

Why choose us

Why Dulwich Village customers book us

Four things decide whether a SE21 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.

Dulwich Village walls, not generic walls

We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in SE21, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE21, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 46% 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. Dulwich Estate covenants, low-traffic filters on the village junction and gravel driveways.

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. West Dulwich (Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a SE21 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Fixed prices

Patio and decking cleaning prices in Dulwich Village

Fixed prices for SE21 and the rest of Southwark. 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.

Scope

What's included in Dulwich Village

The same scope across SE21, whether the job is a single item or a full room.

Included in the price

  • Surface identified first — concrete, natural stone, softwood or composite — and the pressure set for it — including local patio and decking cleaning
  • Standard on Southwark bookings: algae, moss and lichen treated with a biocide before washing, arranged with London Borough of Southwark where the kerb needs it
  • On SE21 jobs: deck board gaps cleared so water drains through, with 79% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
  • In Dulwich Village: furniture and planters moved and repositioned, the way it is done on Dulwich Village jobs
  • Wastewater directed away from surface water drains, noted on the Dulwich Village job sheet so the next visit starts from it
  • Standard on Southwark bookings: drainage outlets on roof terraces and balconies checked clear, allowing for the 18% of SE21 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off

Not included

  • Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE21
  • Repointing or re-bedding loose or sunken stone slabs, which we refer on to the right trade in Dulwich Village
  • Deep oil or paint staining soaked into porous stone, and we will say so before the SE21 visit rather than on the day
  • Structural work on raised decking or balustrades, outside the fixed price on Dulwich Village bookings

Very good value for money. Booked the cleaning services and two people spent 4 hours cleaning my recently purchased flat, and the result was impressive and very reasonable priced to be in London. Highly recommended.

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 Dulwich Village

Dulwich Village SE21 at a glance

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Dulwich Village — the numbers that actually change a patio and decking cleaning quote.

Walk Dulwich Village from Dulwich Picture Gallery outwards and the Georgian and early Victorian pattern is obvious: 79% of the 3,046 households in SE21 live in flats, 21% in houses.

18% of households rent privately and 36% own, which is why patio and decking cleaning demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.

Walls are often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in Dulwich Village is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SE21, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 46% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.

Two streets can behave very differently in Dulwich Village: georgian village street, the picture gallery and the college's playing fields. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Dulwich Village sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.

On access, dulwich Estate covenants, low-traffic filters on the village junction and gravel driveways — 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 West Dulwich (Thameslink).

  • How long does flat-pack assembly take in Dulwich Village?

    For SE21 bookings, 5–2 hours.

  • Will a built wardrobe fit through a Dulwich Village doorway?

    That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in around West Dulwich (Thameslink). With 79% of Dulwich Village homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across SE21 — and 18% of SE21 homes being privately rented, with 79% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

    All three.
