What moves the price
- Size of the patio — a small seating area costs least and a large terrace the most to clean
- Indian sandstone and limestone — delicate stone needs low pressure and more care than concrete slabs
- Black spot and lichen — stubborn black spot on sandstone needs a separate chemical treatment
- Loose pointing — where the pointing is already failing, high pressure would make it worse
- Sealing — sealing the patio after cleaning keeps it clean longer and is priced on top
- London and the Home Counties — patio cleaning rates there run above the North, Wales and Scotland
Domestic cleaning prices in the UK are up 24% over five years (ONS Consumer Price Inflation, Domestic services and household services, to 2026 August). Five years ago a typical patio cleaning would have cost about £200 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: ONS MM23 D7E6 →

How to pay less
- Book the patio and driveway clean on one visit so the patio cleaner's call-out is shared
- Brush the patio and pull weeds from the joints between professional cleans
- Seal the patio after cleaning so algae and black spot take longer to return
Before you book
- Wash water with cleaning products should not go into surface water drains, which run to rivers, so ask how the patio cleaner handles it
- Say whether the patio is Indian sandstone, limestone or concrete, since sandstone needs low pressure
- Avoid acid-based patio cleaners on Indian sandstone, which can mark the stone
- Clear furniture and pots off the patio before the cleaner arrives
Patio Cleaning cost: questions people ask
£75–£400 per job, about £150 for a medium patio. A small concrete patio washed and rinsed is the cheapest; a large sandstone patio treated for black spot and sealed is the dearest.
Two to four hours for most patios. Sealing needs the slabs completely dry, so it may wait for a later day.
Only at low pressure. High pressure can damage the surface and the pointing, so sandstone is cleaned gently, moving across the slabs rather than straight at them.
Black spot is a lichen that grows into sandstone and does not wash off. It needs its own treatment, priced on top of the patio clean.
Black spot removal, re-pointing loose joints and sealing are usually extras on top of the wash.
