Frequently Asked Questions

Can you safely remove stubborn black spots (lichen) from Indian sandstone?

Yes. Natural stone like Indian sandstone often develops stubborn black lichen spots (Verrucaria nigrescens) that root deep into the stone pores and cannot be removed by standard water pressure alone. We apply specialized biocide treatments and targeted surface-cleaning solutions that break down these deep biological roots, lifting dark spots and restoring the natural, vibrant color of your paving slabs.

Standard high-pressure lances can etch delicate natural stone surfaces, strip surface layers, or blast out mortar joints. We adjust our cleaning methods to suit your specific patio material, utilizing flat-surface rotary cleaners with controlled pressure and softwash biocide solutions. This ensures an even, deep clean without gouging sandstone or damaging delicate porcelain tile coatings.

We address weed growth at every stage of the restoration process. First, we clear existing weeds, roots, and moss from the joint channels during the deep wash. Next, we apply a fungicidal biocide treatment to destroy hidden spores deep within the joint substrate. Finally, we offer re-pointing or jointing sand replacement options that seal the gaps and prevent weed seeds from taking root.

Porcelain slabs require a gentle touch to preserve their textured anti-slip coating and specialized jointing compounds. We use warm, low-pressure softwashing techniques combined with specialized, non-abrasive detergents designed specifically for porcelain. This lifts ground-in dirt, algae, and leaf staining without scratching or dulling the tile surface.

Yes. High-pressure cleaning or age often washes away old, crumbling sand-and-cement mortar or jointing compound. Once your patio is clean and fully dry, we can re-point the joints using modern polymeric jointing mortars or brush-in compounds, creating a durable, weed-resistant, and weather-proof barrier between your slabs.

We highly recommend sealing natural stone and porous concrete patios. An exterior impregnating or surface sealer creates a breathable, water-repellent barrier that shields your paving against frost damage, oil spills, barbecue grease, and leaf staining. Sealing also locks in natural stone colors and makes future routine maintenance significantly easier.

Yes, property safety is our priority. We exclusively use fully compliant, biodegradable cleaning agents. Before applying any specialist treatments, we thoroughly saturate all adjacent lawn borders, flowerbeds, and plants with fresh water to act as a shield. Once the patio surface has dried completely, it is totally safe for children and domestic pets.

We control and direct dirty water runoff away from your garden beds, surrounding lawns, and home foundations toward active surface drains using squeegees and containment barriers. We carry out a complete clean-down of all adjacent walls, doors, and glass before completing the job, leaving your garden spotless.

You can walk on the patio immediately after a standard clean and rinse. However, if we carry out joint re-pointing or apply a protective surface sealer, we advise keeping patio furniture, plant pots, and heavy foot traffic off the area for 24 to 48 hours to allow the compounds and sealants to cure fully.

Our pricing is completely transparent and based on the total surface area (square meters) of your patio, the type of paving material (e.g., block, sandstone, porcelain, concrete), the severity of black spot or algae infestation, and whether re-pointing or sealing is required. We provide instant, accurate fixed quotes using high-resolution aerial mapping tools.

Expert Patio Cleaning & Restoration Across Central Scotland

Your patio should be the focal point of your outdoor space, perfect for relaxing and entertaining. However, Central Scotland’s damp, shady climate creates ideal conditions for green algae, moss, and dark lichen spots to thrive on outdoor paving. Over time, these organic growths turn beautiful stone surfaces into slick, unsightly hazards underfoot, making your garden uninviting and unsafe.

Our professional patio cleaning service restores your stone, concrete, or porcelain paving back to its original beauty. Utilizing commercial rotary surface cleaners and targeted softwash biocides, we safely strip away embedded dirt, black lichen spots, and slippery algae without damaging the stone face. We revitalize your entire patio space, creating a clean, safe environment for your family to enjoy. For roof cleaning in Glasgow, choose Outside Clean.

Natural Stone & Sandstone Restoration

Targeted treatment of Indian sandstone, limestone, and slate to lift deep-set black lichen spots and restore vibrant stone patterns.

Modern Porcelain Slab Cleaning

Low-pressure, non-abrasive softwashing engineered specifically to clean delicate porcelain tiles and sensitive jointing compounds safely.

Joint Clearing & Re-Pointing

Removal of decayed mortar, joint moss, and weeds, followed by fresh polymeric sand or brush-in mortar application for lasting joint stability.

Advanced Stone Care & Long-Lasting Surface Protection

Restoring outdoor paving requires specialized techniques suited to each specific material. Using domestic power washers on delicate natural stone or porcelain often results in uneven zebra stripes, damaged joints, or etched surfaces. We combine flat-surface rotary cleaning with specialized biocide softwashing to deliver a deep, uniform clean that protects the structural integrity of your paving.

By targeting organic spores deep inside stone pores, our softwash treatments keep green algae and lichen from quickly returning. Whether you are preparing your garden for summer, staging a property for sale, or maintaining an outdoor living space, our expert care delivers outstanding, long-lasting visual results every time.

Rotary Flat-Surface Cleaning

Enclosed hover-washer technology that delivers an even, streak-free wash while containing water spray away from doors and walls.

Deep Pore Biocide Treatments

Fungicidal washes that digest stubborn black spot lichen (Verrucaria) roots and kill moss spores embedded in porous paving.

Breathable Impregnating Sealers

Protective surface treatments that shield paving against water penetration, frost damage, barbecue grease, and UV fading.

Why Choose Professional Patio Cleaning

Attempting to clean patio slabs with domestic power washers often leads to uneven zebra-striping, gouged stone faces, and blown-out jointing mortar. Natural stone, sandstone, and delicate porcelain require specialized pressure control and chemical treatments to eradicate deep-seated biological growth safely. Investing in professional patio cleaning ensures your paving is deeply sanitized, structurally stable, and safely restored. Here is why homeowners across Central Scotland trust our expert team to care for their patios.

We clear out decayed mortar, moss, and root structures from joint gaps, offering modern polymeric sand or brush-in mortar re-pointing to lock slabs in place and block future weed growth.

I am extremely happy with the roof and driveway cleaning services provided by Jaimie and the team at Outside Cleaning Limited. They thoroughly removed the moss from the roof, cleaned the gutters and even cleaned all the windows, doors, and the garage door as part of the job. Once the cleaning was complete they made sure all the debris was cleared away and left everything spotless. Jaimie also took the time to provide helpful advice on how to maintain the roof and keep it in good condition. The team was professional and thorough. I would highly recommend Outside Cleaning Limited to anyone looking for exterior cleaning services.

Jaimie and the team cleaned our roof and we were really happy with the results. It’s spotless and they left the garden and bits around the house incredibly tidy. What I think sets these guys apart though is how they look after customers. Communication was brilliant throughout the whole process, they sent a really helpful video before the job that told us what to expect and that no surprises approach made a big difference for us. On price, we got a few different quotes and Outside Clean Ltd were really competitive. I’d have no hesitation using them again and have already recommended to friends and family.

Just had our roof cleaned by Outside Cleaning. They arrived early, very friendly and approachable. Jaimie and team were very professional and did a fantastic job. Our roof was completely transformed and everything was cleaned up afterwards including our neighbours paths. Great job and well worth the money. We don't recommend people that often but would certainly recommend Jaimie and team. Basically they completely do what they advertise. Thanks for a cracking job.
