Patio Cleaning Services
A patio sees considerable use throughout the year and is exposed to everything the Irish weather can throw at it. Rain, frost, fallen leaves, and general foot traffic all contribute to a gradual buildup of dirt, algae, moss, and grime that settles into the surface over time.
What starts as a minor discolouration can become a deeply ingrained layer of biological growth and staining, making even a well-laid patio look tired and uninviting.
Celtic Clean and Seal provides professional patio cleaning services, covering all common patio surfaces found on Irish properties. Along with patio cleaning, we offer options for driveway cleaning and tarmac sealing as well.
Concrete slabs are among the most widespread and tend to accumulate grime and algae fairly readily on their surface. They respond well to pressure washing but benefit from the correct approach to avoid surface damage on older or more weathered slabs.
Natural stone, including sandstone, limestone, and slate, requires a more considered approach. However, once natural stone has been properly cleaned, it will look just as good as the day it was laid.
Block paving collects dirt and biological growth both on the block surface and within the joints. Cleaning block paving properly means addressing both, and where jointing sand has been washed out over time, which we will take care of once the paving has been cleaned off.
Porcelain is a denser and less porous material than natural stone and generally handles pressure washing well, though the grout lines between tiles still require proper attention.
Biocidal treatments applied during or after cleaning kill algae and moss growth at the root rather than simply removing the visible surface layer. This matters because growth that is only partially removed will return much faster than growth that has been properly treated.
A freshly cleaned patio can look remarkably different from what it did before the work was carried out. Colours that had been buried under years of grime and biological growth are restored, and the overall surface looks consistent and well-maintained.
For those looking to go a step further, Celtic Clean and Seal can also discuss sealing options following a clean, which help protect the surface from future staining and slow the rate at which biological growth returns along with partial colour restoration.
