Why it matters
A patio does not usually go dark because the stone has changed. It goes dark because a film of algae has grown over it, and under that film the original colour is still there.
Guiseley roofs and walls, specifically
The roofline in Guiseley is stone slate on the older housing, concrete tile across the estates. York stone and gritstone flags are hard-wearing and take a working pressure, but they are usually laid in a lime or sand joint that will wash straight out.
A genuine split between old stone and modern tile, and the two want completely different handling.
How the job runs
Clear the surface and check what the jointing actually is, because that decides how hard the wash can be.
From there the method is the same wherever we do it — the patio cleaning page sets out all five stages, and what a proper job includes.
What it costs in Guiseley
What we are usually quoting in Guiseley is largely interwar and post-war semis, with stone terraces in the older parts — and that is half the price on its own, because it sets the size of the job.
The other half is access: good on the semi-detached estates, where there is side access and somewhere to park; tighter in the stone terraces off the main road.
Every quote is free and fixed before anything starts, and there is no call-out fee. As a guide, £150–£400 for a typical patio is the typical range for this work in the UK — sealing and re-pointing are additional. That is the market rather than a quote: yours is priced on your actual property, and the patio cleaning page lists everything that moves it.
When to do it
Spring is the obvious time — it undoes the winter and gets the patio ready for use. Sealing needs a genuinely dry spell, so it is worth booking with some weather in hand.
Aire valley damp sits over the town, with the moor close enough to keep north pitches green. Guiseley is about 14 miles from our base in Harrogate, comfortably inside the patch we cover.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How many times a year should you jet wash a patio?
Once a year is plenty for most patios, in spring. Washing more often than that wears the surface and the joints faster than the algae comes back. A shaded patio under trees might want it twice; an open sunny one can often go two years.
Should you seal a patio after cleaning?
It is worth it on porous stone — sandstone, limestone, concrete flags — where sealing slows staining and keeps the algae from getting a grip. It is less useful on dense, hard stone. Seal only onto a properly dry surface, or the sealant traps the moisture underneath and clouds.
