Professional Patio Washing & Algae Removal
Patios are the centerpiece of backyard gardens, but our damp Irish climate makes them highly susceptible to black spot lichens, green algae, and moss. We restore all types of patios safely and effectively.
Standard high-pressure washing can damage delicate patio stones (like Indian sandstone or limestone) and wash out structural pointing. At Platinum Pressure Washing, we analyze the type of stone you have and combine customized pressure levels with low-pressure soft washing to clean your patio safely without causing surface erosion.
Patio Materials We Specialize In
Different patio slabs require different treatments to avoid damage:
- Indian Sandstone & Limestone: We use gentle soft washing combined with specialized biocides to lift deep black spots and algae without exfoliating the natural layers.
- Porcelain Patio Tiles: Porcelain is highly durable but can become very slippery. We deep clean joints and restore the high-traction, clean surface look.
- Concrete Slabs & Paving: Using rotary cleaners, we remove deep dirt and restore the bright, clean grey or colored finish of concrete.
- Granite Paving: We safely remove rust stains, leaf marks, and organic growth, restoring the natural sparkling granite texture.

We treat every patio as if it were in our own home. Our service includes:
