Overview
Patio and decking cleaning in Peckham SE15, explained
This page prices patio and decking cleaning for Peckham SE15 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 23% privately rented and 24,172 households in total. Work starts at £4.50, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Southwark permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How patio and decking cleaning works in Peckham
Five steps, the same on every SE15 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — which is why London Borough of Southwark kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is what we plan for here.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Peckham customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE15 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. Rye Lane bus gates, LTN filters and terraced streets with permit 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. Peckham Rye (Overground, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a SE15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Peckham walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE15, often with surface conduit, where 31% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SE15, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Peckham gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building.
Fixed prices
Patio and decking cleaning prices in Peckham
Fixed prices for SE15 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.
| 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
What's included in Peckham
The same scope across SE15, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Southwark bookings: surface identified before we start — concrete, natural stone, softwood or composite — and the pressure and nozzle set for it, allowing for the 23% of SE15 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Algae, moss and lichen in shaded, north-facing corners treated with a biocide first rather than pressure-blasted alone, noted on the Peckham job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Peckham: deck board gaps cleared of trapped leaves and debris so water drains through rather than pooling and rotting the joists, timed against the walk in from Peckham Rye (Overground, Thameslink)
- On SE15 jobs: furniture and planters moved before cleaning and repositioned afterwards, agreed on the doorstep in Peckham before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Southwark bookings: wastewater and any cleaning product run-off directed away from surface water drains during the wash, arranged with London Borough of Southwark where the kerb needs it
- A drainage check on roof terraces and balconies to confirm outlets are clear once the clean is finished — including patio and decking cleaning london
Not included
- Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards — that's a repair job, quoted separately by our decking team, which we refer on to the right trade in Peckham
- Repointing or re-bedding natural stone patio slabs that have come loose or sunk, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE15
- Deep oil or paint staining that has soaked into porous stone and may need professional poulticing rather than a surface wash, and we will say so before the SE15 visit rather than on the day
- Structural work on raised decking or a roof terrace balustrade, which needs a qualified joiner or builder, handled by London Borough of Southwark or a specialist contractor instead

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

Peckham SE15 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Peckham — the numbers that actually change a patio and decking cleaning quote.
In Peckham (SE15) the split is 72% flats to 28% houses over 24,172 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
With 23% private renting against 31% owner-occupied, most SE15 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE15, often with surface conduit, where 31% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in SE15. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Peckham gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building is the fault we are called back to undo.
Rye Lane's markets, rooftop bars and Georgian terraces around Peckham Rye. That character decides the practical detail of patio and decking cleaning here far more than the borough boundary does. Peckham 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, rye Lane bus gates, LTN filters and terraced streets with permit bays — 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 Peckham Rye (Overground, Thameslink).

Common questions
Patio and decking cleaning in Peckham SE15 — your questions.
How much does patio and decking cleaning cost in Peckham SE15?
50 in Peckham, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked on Southwark bookings, with 23% of SE15 homes being privately rented. 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 in Peckham — and 23% of SE15 homes being privately rented, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Peckham SE15?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on SE15 jobs, with 72% of homes here being flats. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Peckham most weeks on the Peckham rounds, with Southwark parking rules in play.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Peckham?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on SE15 jobs, with Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building a few streets away.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Peckham doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Southwark. With 72% of Peckham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across SE15, with 31% owner-occupation locally — and Southwark parking rules in play, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
What is not included in patio and decking cleaning in Peckham?
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 on this side of Southwark, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory — and 32% one-person households here, which needs a qualified joiner or builder. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Peckham SE15 price you agree is the price you pay in this 72% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
Who books patio and decking cleaning in Peckham SE15 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 23% of Peckham privately rented and 31% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE15 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the Peckham rounds — and 46% social-rented stock nearby, with Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building a few streets away.
How quickly can you reach Peckham from your Southwark round?
Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building is the marker we route to on Southwark bookings, with 31% owner-occupation locally — and 46% social-rented stock nearby, and rye Lane bus gates, LTN filters and terraced streets with permit bays. A SE15 slot added to an existing Southwark round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the Peckham rounds, with 46% social-rented stock nearby.
