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.
Working in Harrogate
Harrogate is Victorian and Edwardian villas, spa-era terraces and a good deal of painted render and stucco, mixed with red brick and magnesian limestone. Large parts of the town centre and the Duchy and Montpellier estates sit inside conservation areas, so anything visible from the street is worth checking before work starts.
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 Harrogate
What we are usually quoting in Harrogate is a lot of large Victorian and Edwardian semis and villas, plus spa-era terraces near the centre — and that is half the price on its own, because it sets the size of the job.
The other half is access: many of the older streets have rear access off back lanes, which helps, but the Duchy and Montpellier properties are set well back behind mature trees and often need a tower rather than a ladder.
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.
The town sits high enough on the edge of the Pennines to hold damp on north-facing elevations well into spring. Harrogate is where we are based, so it is the shortest journey we make.
Often done at the same time

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.
