The Problem
Materials has distinct physical properties, for instance:
- Concrete is porous (absorbs water, stains easily) but relatively durable against high pressure.
- Natural stone is often softer than concrete (especially sandstone, limestone) and can be etched or pitted if exposed to pressures above 120 bar.
- Brick and block paving have joints (sand-filled or mortar) that can be dislodged if the wrong nozzle angle is used.
- Tarmac is bitumen-based, meaning it softens in extreme heat and can be damaged by overly hot water or harsh detergents.
The Difference a Proper Patio Clean Makes
A patio isn’t just “paving.” It’s part of your home. When it looks spotless, even, and fresh, it lifts the whole space.
- Looks cleaner, fresher, and brighter.
- Feels like a well-maintained home.
- Makes the garden a place you actually want to spend time in.
And if you’ve ever tried cleaning it yourself? You’ll know that a garden hose or a basic jet wash doesn’t give the same results. That’s because it’s not just about blasting water—it’s about using the right method for the surface.
We handle all of that for you.
A Service for Those Who Notice the Details
Not everyone will notice the way stone subtly changes over time. Not everyone will glance down and register that the surface isn’t quite as it used to be. But some do. Some recognise when something has shifted ever so slightly out of place.
For those people, precision matters. A service that understands the details—one that doesn’t cut corners, that doesn’t rush the job, that respects the surroundings—makes all the difference.
Unlike many ‘quick-fix’ operators, Exterior Cleaning Pros doesn’t rely on consumer-grade pressure washers (the kind you hire from Toolstation for £40/day). Our fleet consists of commercial-grade, industrial-spec machines sourced from leading manufacturers.

Based on 240+ Google reviews
In Hale Barns, the majority of domestic patios, driveways, and pathways are:
Constructed from one (or a combination) of the following materials:
Concrete slabs (poured, stamped, or textured finishes)
Natural stone (flagstones, York stone, limestone, granite, sandstone)
Brick paving (clay bricks, often laid on sand or mortar beds)
Block paving (concrete blocks, typically 200mm x 100mm units)
Tarmac (bitumen-bound aggregate, mostly on driveways)
Artificial stone / reconstituted stone (manufactured slabs mimicking natural textures)
Each of these materials has distinct physical properties that dictate how they respond to dirt, moisture, temperature fluctuations, and, crucially, cleaning methods.

Before & After: Real Transformations In Hale Barns
Equipment
Equipment That Actually Works
Domestic or rented machines don’t have the power, control, or consistency needed for proper results.
They often apply uneven pressure, leave streaks, miss deep-set grime, and can even damage delicate pointing or stone if misused. Our equipment is purpose-built:
- Rotary surface cleaners for even, streak-free cleaning
- Turbo lances for moss-filled joints and tight spaces
- Low-pressure systems for delicate or sealed surfaces
- Biocide treatment available to tackle algae and delay regrowth
- Re-sanding of block paving to secure joints after cleaning
We clean deep without stripping colour or damaging the structure. All treatments used are pet-safe and environmentally responsible.

Fixing the Mistakes of Previous Work
Some patios we clean have been previously sealed using the wrong product. This often results in patchy discolouration, peeling, or uneven wear.
These coatings need to be properly stripped before any new treatment is applied — not simply cleaned over. We identify these issues before starting and advise on the correct next steps.
In some cases, the best action is to clean and leave the surface unsealed. In others, resealing with the right product improves performance. Either way, we don’t push unnecessary treatments or cover up problems.
Unlike most setups that rely on rented gear or domestic pressure washers, we’ve invested in industrial-grade systems that deliver consistent, surface-safe results.

FAQ
Patio Cleaning FAQ's
Will jet washing damage my concrete?
No. Damage is caused by holding a zero-degree nozzle too close to the surface. I use the correct fan, the correct distance and a surface cleaner that spreads the pressure evenly.
Do you make a mess with slurry?
No. I control water flow, I contain run-off from commercial sites, and I rinse all adjacent areas before I leave. On domestic jobs I protect lawns and borders.
How long will it stay clean?
On a domestic path, with the biocide applied, you can expect eighteen months to two years before significant regrowth. On a busy commercial yard with heavy traffic, an annual clean maintains standards.
Can you work at weekends?
Yes. I work at your convenience can I can work overnight cleans for commercial clients across Manchester and Cheshire.
Do you remove oil stains and chewing gum?
Yes. I use a hot water system with a specialist degreaser for oil. For chewing gum I use steam at 150 degrees. I will test a small area first and show you the expected result.
