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.
Wetherby roofs and walls, specifically
The roofline in Wetherby is clay pantile and Welsh slate. Limestone flags are soft and porous and mark permanently under too much pressure. They want a gentler wash and they benefit more than most from sealing afterwards.
Magnesian limestone is soft and porous, and scours visibly under too much pressure — one of the surfaces where the wrong lance leaves a permanent mark.
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 Wetherby
What we are usually quoting in Wetherby is Georgian and Victorian limestone townhouses near the centre, and a large stock of modern detached housing around it — and that is half the price on its own, because it sets the size of the job.
The other half is access: among the easiest on the patch — the newer estates have driveways and side access, and the older centre is mostly two storeys.
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 sheltered, low-lying and drier than the moor-edge towns to the west. Wetherby is about 11 miles from our base in Harrogate, comfortably inside the patch we cover.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is it okay to pressure wash a patio?
On concrete flags and block paving, yes. On soft natural stone, only at a much reduced pressure — sandstone and limestone scar, and the scarring is permanent. The joints are the other limit: almost any pressure washes sand joints out, which is why re-sanding is part of the job rather than an extra.
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.
