Patio Cleaning in Dover
Bring sandstone, porcelain and paving back to their original colour before summer.
Patio Cleaning for Dover homes and businesses
We carry out patio cleaning for homeowners and businesses across Dover and the surrounding Kent villages. Bring sandstone, porcelain and paving back to their original colour before summer.
From harbour-side terraces to the villages above the town, Dover work is usually roofs, render and guttering rather than paving alone.
Patios collect a black film of algae and lichen through winter, then dry to a dull grey that most people assume is simply the stone ageing. It rarely is. Underneath, Indian sandstone is usually still buff, cream and rust-coloured.
What we find in Dover
- Gutter clearing on tall and terraced elevations from ground level.
- Roof cleaning and treatment on chalk-hill properties with heavy lichen.
- Commercial and holiday-let exterior cleaning between changeovers.
What the job includes
- Clear furniture and pots where practical
- Treat organic growth on shaded and north-facing sections
- Even surface clean across slabs, edges and steps
- Detail work to joints, risers and wall bases
- Rinse down surrounding paths and thresholds
- Joint sand replacement on jointed paving where suitable
How we work
- Walk the patio. Identify the stone, check the pointing and note anything already damaged.
- Clear and protect. Move furniture and pots, and shield planting and adjoining surfaces.
- Clean. Surface clean the field, then detail joints, edges and steps.
- Finish. Rinse, re-sand joints where applicable and put everything back.

FAQs
Patio Cleaning in Dover — common questions
How much does patio cleaning cost in Dover?
Every Dover property is different, so we price on the size and condition of the job rather than a flat rate. Send us a few photos or the address and you will get a fixed written quote back — no call-out fee and no obligation.
Do you cover the whole of Dover?
Yes. We cover Dover and the surrounding area, including Folkestone, Deal, Canterbury. We are based in Maidstone, so Dover is a regular run for us.
Can you pressure wash Indian sandstone?
Yes, with care. Indian sandstone cleans up very well at moderate pressure with a fan tip kept at a sensible distance. Close-range, needle-jet work is what damages it.
Will the patio go green again?
Eventually, yes — algae is airborne and Kent winters are damp. A biocide treatment after cleaning slows regrowth noticeably, and shaded patios benefit most.
When is the best time to clean a patio?
Spring and early autumn are ideal. Spring clears the winter build-up before you use the space, autumn removes the growth before it thickens over winter.
Do you clean the pointing out?
Sound mortar pointing stays put at the pressures we use. Failing or hollow pointing can lift, which is why we check it first and flag it before starting.

“I can’t believe the change to the patio and paths surrounding the house! It has been transformed from a dull and depressing monotone with all kinds of dirt and growths in a matter of hours. Rez was a pleasure to have around, very polite and professional.”
