How it works
How patio and decking cleaning works in St John's Wood
Five steps, the same on every NW8 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In NW8, New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard — with 17% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Tell us the surface and access
Surface type, rough area, and whether there's an outside tap.
Step 2
Fixed written quote
Per square metre, with oiling and bowser water as separate lines.
Step 3
Clear and pre-treat
Furniture moved, gaps cleared, biocide soak on shaded growth.
Step 4
Wash at the right pressure
Full strength on concrete; stepped down on stone, softwood and composite.
Step 5
Dry, treat and hand back
Decking dried before oiling, drainage checked, furniture replaced.
Why choose us
Why St John's Wood customers book us
What follows is specific to St John's Wood: its walls, its access and the paperwork Westminster agents ask for.
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. Driveways in the villa streets; gated developments need advance access codes and lift booking.
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. St John's Wood (Jubilee) is the nearest station, so a NW8 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
St John's Wood walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, and with 43% one-person households in St John's Wood, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in NW8, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the St John's Wood stock goes, and with 49% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Patio and decking cleaning prices in St John's Wood
Fixed prices for NW8 and the rest of Westminster. 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 | Full-pressure rotary surface cleaner. |
| York stone or sandstone patio, per m² | £6.50 | By area | Lower pressure, stone-safe cleaner. |
| Softwood decking clean, per m² | £5 | By area | Low pressure, nozzle kept moving. |
| Composite decking clean, per m² | £5.50 | By area | Wide fan nozzle protects the capping layer. |
| Decking oiling or re-staining after cleaning, per m² | £4 | Added to visit | Separate pass once boards have dried. |
| Roof terrace or balcony deck, per m² | £7 | By area | Bowser water and a drainage check. |

- On NW8 jobs: algae, moss and lichen treated with a biocide before washing, patio and decking cleaning london included
- Standard on Westminster bookings: deck board gaps cleared so water drains through, with 6,641 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Furniture and planters moved and repositioned, checked on every NW8 visit
- In St John's Wood: wastewater directed away from surface water drains, the way it is done on St John's Wood jobs
- On NW8 jobs: drainage outlets on roof terraces and balconies checked clear, with 90% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
Not included
- Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards, which we refer on to the right trade in St John's Wood
- Repointing or re-bedding loose or sunken stone slabs, quoted separately if you need it arranged in NW8
- Deep oil or paint staining soaked into porous stone, outside the fixed price on St John's Wood bookings
- Structural work on raised decking or balustrades, and we will say so before the NW8 visit rather than on the day

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.

The cleaners I booked for my E14 flat did a great job, professional and thorough. It is easy to book services via Hello Services too. Will recommend them to anyone.
★★★★★Trustpilot
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 St John's Wood
St John's Wood NW8 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers St John's Wood — the numbers that actually change a patio and decking cleaning quote.
6,641 households sit inside the NW8 neighbourhood covering St John's Wood. The build is inter-war, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 90% of those homes are flats.
Because 49% of St John's Wood is privately rented and 17% socially rented, a lot of NW8 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
St John's Wood substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, and with 43% one-person households in St John's Wood, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the St John's Wood stock goes, and with 49% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a NW8 customer twice.
Detached villas, embassies and cricket — the quietest of the central postcodes. That character decides the practical detail of patio and decking cleaning here far more than the borough boundary does. St John's Wood sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Driveways in the villa streets; gated developments need advance access codes and lift booking. Nearest station is St John's Wood (Jubilee), 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.

50 in St John's Wood, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked on Westminster bookings, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood. 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 St John's Wood — and 49% of NW8 homes being privately rented, with 6,641 households on this patch.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in St John's Wood NW8?

We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in St John's Wood most weeks on Westminster bookings, with 33% owner-occupation locally.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in St John's Wood?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for St John's Wood (NW8) addresses, with this being Westminster City Council territory.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a St John's Wood doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in for St John's Wood (NW8) addresses. With 90% of St John's Wood homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in St John's Wood — and a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, with 6,641 households on this patch, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Do you handle difficult access in St John's Wood?
Driveways in the villa streets; gated developments need advance access codes and lift booking in St John's Wood. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Westminster City Council it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on this side of Westminster, with 10% of St John's Wood homes being houses.
Are your fitters insured for work in NW8?
Wastewater containing detergent or biocide is contained and directed away from surface water drains during the clean in St John's Wood — and 10% of St John's Wood homes being houses, with 33% owner-occupation locally, and drainage outlets on roof terraces and balconies are checked and cleared as part of the visit. That paperwork is what most Westminster letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat around St John's Wood (Jubilee), with this being a short walk from St John's Wood (Jubilee).
What is not included in patio and decking cleaning in St John's Wood?
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; Structural work on raised decking or balustrades in this 90% flats neighbourhood — and a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, with 10% of St John's Wood homes being houses.
