Patio Cleaning & Restoration in Houghton-le-Spring
Sandstone patio cleaning in Houghton-le-Spring is a craft — wrong pressure or wrong chemistry can pit the stone or strip the colour. We use specialist sandstone cleaners, low-pressure rotary heads, and the correct sealers to restore Indian sandstone to its original tone.
Why Choose Us for Patio Cleaning & Restoration in Houghton-le-Spring
Sandstone-Safe Pressure & Chemistry
We don't blast sandstone with the same kit as block paving. Specialist heads, lower pressure, and stone-safe cleaners protect the surface.
Joint Restoration Included
Clean stone with dark failed joints still looks tired. We rake out failed pointing and re-fill with a colour-matched joint compound.
Anti-Algae Sealers for Shaded Patios
North-facing patios need specialist sealers with biocide. We use them as standard so algae stays away for years.
Honest Restore vs Replace Advice
We'll tell you if cleaning is the right call — or if your patio is past saving and replacement is better value.
