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.
Menston roofs and walls, specifically
The roofline in Menston is Yorkshire stone slate and Welsh slate. 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.
Small enough that most jobs here are detached stone properties, generally with room to work and generally carrying a good deal of growth.
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 Menston
What we are usually quoting in Menston is stone detached houses on generous plots, with some newer development around the village — and that is half the price on its own, because it sets the size of the job.
The other half is access: rarely a problem — space to work and off-street parking — though the roofs are large and steeply pitched, which is where the time goes.
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.
It is high, exposed and wet — moor-edge conditions, the same as Ilkley. Menston is about 12 miles from our base in Harrogate, comfortably inside the patch we cover.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
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.
How much should I pay for patio cleaning?
Typically £150 to £400 for a normal domestic patio, with re-pointing and sealing on top if they are wanted. The variables are area, how much detail and edge work there is, and how much jointing has to be put back afterwards.
