Over time, patios accumulate dirt, moss, algae, lichen, and other organic growth, which can make the surface slippery, unsightly, and potentially cause long-term damage. Having your patio cleaned by Feel the pressure UK will not only restore the patio's appearance but also helps maintain its condition by preventing wear and deterioration.

The duration of a patio cleaning process all depends on the size of the patio, the type of surface your cleaning, and the amount of contamination. On average, a patio cleaning service can take a few hours to a full day. After an inspection by our team we can provide you with a more accurate time estimate for your individual service.

We use a range of professional cleaning methods, including steam cleaning, pressure washing, and specially formulated solutions, depending on the surface type and condition of your patio. These methods effectively remove dirt, stains, and biological growth including Algae and Lichen without causing damage to the cleaned surface.

The cost of patio cleaning varies based on factors such as the size of the patio, the type of surface, and the cleaning method needed. At Feel the Pressure UK, we provide tailored quotes for each job, ensuring the most cost-effective pricing for every customer.

We are committed to offering the best prices for professional patio cleaning services, keeping our rates competitive and affordable for all. Contact our team today for your free no-obligation patio cleaning quotation.

An external water tap is the ideal source for powering our patio cleaning equipment. However, if one isn’t available, all of our customized vans are equipped with 400-litre tanks, allowing us to perform up to 60 minutes of professional patio steam cleaning and 20 minutes of high-pressure jet washing.

We also carry a wide range of special adapters to fit most internal water taps. If you’re concerned about water access, it’s best to reach out to our team directly and share your situation. We’re confident we can find a solution to ensure your patio gets thoroughly cleaned.

Lichen, also known as patio black spot, is a common type of biological growth that often infests patios and driveways in the UK. It spreads due to contamination from nearby vegetation, including plants, trees, and grass. The more plants and trees surrounding your patio, the higher the chance of an infestation. Areas closer to plants or grass are typically more affected. This is simply a natural process.

Patio black spots begin as tiny, dust-like spores found on the underside of leaves and other vegetation. When leaves fall onto your patio, cross-contamination begins. Once the black spots start to grow, they rapidly expand, becoming increasingly unsightly. Without the proper patio cleaning equipment, such as steam cleaning tools, these stubborn black spots can become a challenge to remove, even for professional cleaning companies. At Feel the pressure UK we guarantee a 100% patio black spot removal for all surface types.

Patio black spots and algae are effectively eliminated when exposed to temperatures of 120° and above. Our professional patio steam cleaning systems reach temperatures of 150°, ensuring that the black spots are not only killed but also removed from the surface.

While the lichen may be eradicated, some stones might experience slight discolouration, especially if organic matter has been left on the surface for an extended period. To address this, our team applies a specially formulated, fast-acting patio cleaning solution that lifts the discolouration and restores the stone’s natural colour. This treatment is particularly beneficial for natural stone patios and is included at no extra charge.

With guaranteed spotless finishes and complete colour restoration for all surface types, Feel the Pressure UK is one of the leading professional patio cleaning companies in your area, ensuring customer satisfaction with every clean.

The frequency of patio cleaning depends on environmental factors such as weather conditions and surrounding vegetation. Generally, cleaning your patio once a year is enough to maintain its condition, though high-traffic or shaded areas may need more frequent attention.

2. Improves Curb Appeal: A clean roof enhances the overall appearance of your home, making it look well-maintained and boosting your property’s curb appeal.

3. Extends Roof Lifespan: Keeping your roof clean can prolong its lifespan by removing growths and debris that can wear down roofing materials. This helps you get the most out of your investment.
