About patio cleaning
Christie's Exterior Cleaning Ltd cleans patios across Central Scotland — Indian sandstone, natural stone, concrete slabs, block paving and flagged terraces. A patio sits in the shadiest, dampest part of most gardens, which is exactly where algae, moss and ingrained dirt take hold, and the colour of the stone disappears under it a season at a time. Cleaning brings that colour back. Where the pointing between slabs has failed — and on an older patio it usually has — the joints can be raked out and repointed as part of the same job, which is what actually stops weeds and moss returning through the gaps.
Signs you need patio cleaning
Slabs that have gone green, grey or black, stone whose colour you can no longer see, moss and weeds growing up through the joints, pointing that has crumbled or washed out, and slabs that feel slippery after rain. If a sheltered corner under a table is a completely different colour from the rest of the patio, that difference is the dirt.
Our patio cleaning options
Christie's Exterior Cleaning cleans Indian sandstone, natural stone, concrete slabs, flagged terraces and block paving patios. Two things are commonly added once the surface is clean: repointing, where failed joints are raked out and refilled, and sanding and sealing on block paving, using a matt block paving sealer. Patio work is often booked alongside a roof clean or gutter clear, which is cheaper than two separate visits. Call 0131 283 6467 for a fixed-rate quote.

What to expect
Christie's Exterior Cleaning looks at the stone type and the state of the pointing before quoting, since a patio needing repointing is a different job from one that just needs a wash. On the day, the patio is cleaned in sections so the whole surface finishes evenly, with edges, steps and joints worked properly rather than skimmed. If repointing is part of the job, joints are raked out and refilled once the surface has dried; if sealing is, the sealer goes on last. Planting and surrounding surfaces are rinsed down before we leave.
- Assess the stone type and the condition of the existing pointing.
- Clean the patio in sections, working edges, steps and joints properly.
- Rake out and repoint failed joints where this is part of the job.
- Sand and seal block paving where agreed, then rinse down and tidy.
