Patio Cleaning Bradford
As mentioned when it comes to patios just like for driveways the techniques, cleaning options and pressure washing power will need to be adjusted based on the type of patio surface material.
Certain paving stones will be more porous and more delicate the others and the key for our patio cleaners in Bradford is to balance all these things to get the best possible clean whilst looking after the paving stones which make up your patio.

Patio Pressure Washing Bradford
For certain patio surfaces such as sandstone the patio pressure washing in Bradford will need to be much more delicate. To assist with this we will apply an appropriate cleaning agent to the surface and allow this a little time to penetrate into the stone and help loosen the dirt so that this becomes easier to flush out of a sandstone patio at a lower more delicate pressure.
If you do have work and fragmented jointing between you patio pavers we would advise that we should aim to dislodge all the loose jointing and that this is removed to allow repointing at a later stage.
If you have gone to the trouble to get your patio slabs looking like new again it makes sense to follow this up with repointing between pavers so get a 'complete' brand new looking patio again.
If you are not exactly sure what pavers your patio has been constructed from as it was there in the garden before you moved into the property that's not a problem. We are quite expert at knowing our paver although if we have any reservations we will test on a very small area first to solidify our assumptions before proceeding with the whole cleaning process.
Patio Jet Wash Bradford
If your patio and pathway is constructed from block paving then our full patio jet wash will bring this up a treat. Block paving is very versatile for both driveways and patios as it provides a very hard surface which can easily take a high powered jet wash which can even remove some of those black spots, which seems to be the annoying markings on most patios and driveways.
Following a block paving patio jet wash we would generally advise the this would be the best time to re-sand your block paving. Some of the sand between joints can become dislodged when jet washing but this is minimised by maintaining the washer head at a flatter angle and not directly having the jet in between the joints. Block Paving Re-sanding is an important aspect of paving maintenance and done properly only kiln dried sand should be used. This can simply be brushed into the gaps between the paving blocks where it will settle down and help keep the blocks in place as well as slowing down the opportunity for weeds to grow up through the gaps between the blocks.
One important aspect when re-sanding is to do this on as dry a day as possible. This will make moving and brushing the sand easier and clearly if it clumps, which it will do if wet it will not easily flow down through the gaps between blocks.
As a result we will never re-sand on the same day as we jet wash. Generally we will aim to complete this the following day if the weather has been kind however, if this has to be rescheduled we will let you know and follow up when we will get the best results.
Frequently asked Patio Washing Questions

What types of patios do you clean?
We can clean any patio: block paving, concrete, concrete slabs or a combination of these.
Our approach will different depending on what type of patio it is. The pressure of our machine and some of the cleaning products we use will differ form one patio to another. Whilst block paving can take very high pressure cleaning the same pressure would damage sandstone paving. This is why we will price depending on the type of patio you have as well as its size as certain patio surfaces need to be cleaned much slower than others.

Does power washing damage the mortar between patio slabs?
Power washing can dislodge loose or broken jointing. Whilst we can clean specifically avoiding joints for most customers they want us to clean the joints as this is the area that most most an algae will start to build up from. Once the loose jointing has been removed and what's left is clean it is in a good condition to re-sand.
