Is Your Patio Slippery, Tired or in Need of Restoration?
Algae, grime and organic build-up develop quickly in the UK climate, especially in shaded areas.
What starts as a bit of green quickly becomes a slippery surface, weeds pushing through the joints, and pointing that’s cracked or crumbling.
Left untreated it doesn’t improve on its own and wet weather makes it more dangerous underfoot. The good news is that in most cases a professional patio clean and restoration can bring it back to life – no replacement needed.
What Does Our Patio Cleaning in Suffolk Include?
We assess every patio before we start because the right method depends on the surface. Some patios need a thorough pressure wash, others need a softer approach to avoid damage or staining. Getting this wrong can cause permanent marks on certain materials, so we don’t use a one-size-fits-all method.
Our service can include a deep clean using the most suitable method for your surface, remove failing joints and replace with fresh pointing by hand, repairs to loose or damaged slabs, and optional sealing with two coats of colour-enhancing weather-protection sealant. Waste is removed and everything is left tidy.
Why Regular Patio Cleaning Matters
Safer, Cleaner, Better-Looking
Algae, moss and slippery build-up are a hazard in wet weather. A proper clean lifts the growth that makes patios dangerous underfoot and restores the original colour and finish.
Re-pointing and Repairs That Last
Failing joints let weeds back in and cause slabs to rock and shift. We remove old pointing, re-point by hand, and repair loose slabs – leaving the patio structurally sound and finished properly.
The Right Method for Your Surface
Not every patio should be blasted with high pressure – on some materials it causes damage. We assess first and choose the safest, most effective approach for your specific surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will you damage my patio with pressure washing?
We don’t use a one-method approach. We choose the safest option for your surface because not all patios should be “blasted”, and some soft-wash approaches can stain certain materials.
Do you take the waste away?
Yes, Stronghold cleans the patio and disposes of any waste as part of the service.
Can you fix loose paving slabs and failing joints?
Yes. If required, we can repair loose/damaged slabs and remove and replace old pointing as part of a full patio restoration.
Do you offer sealing?
Yes, we can apply two coats of colour-enhancing and weather-protection sealant.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. As long as we can access the area and you’re happy with the plan, we can often complete the work while you’re out (we’ll agree on everything beforehand).
Do I need patio restoration, or just patio cleaning?
If your joints/pointing are failing, weeds return quickly, or slabs have become loose, restoration is usually the better option. If the patio is structurally sound and you only want it cleaned, your patio cleaning service is likely the right fit.
How long does patio restoration take?
It depends on the size of the patio and how much re-pointing/repair work is needed. We’ll set expectations clearly when quoting.
