If we are being completely honest, no one looks forward to cleaning the patio. We do not wake up on the weekends, after a tough week in the office, and immediately look for a wire brush.
We all love relaxing with friends over a BBQ, but patio cleaning is no one’s favourite task. The frequency with which this task needs to be completed can really grind too.
Slippery and unsightly weeds, mosses, lichen, and fungi can persist and return just days after cleaning, or even after a professional high pressure wash (which incidentally may damage the stones over time), because the root systems of the infectants are deep and tenacious.
Softwashing is designed to remove these growths and leave a patio spic and span, perfect for your BBQ, party, or relaxing in the sunshine! We are proud of our pation cleaning services.


Our softwashing patio service is far more effective than DIY. The cleansing system we use is designed to clean the surface, and penetrate into the porous sub-surface, sanitising in the cracks and gaps between the slabs. We can also replace sand between slabs with sterile kiln dried sand when this has been blown away or removed by high pressure washing, which further inhibits the regrowth of moss and weeds. High pressure washing often removes sand between slabs, leaving to loose blocks, and increasing the chance of weed growth.
It is important to keep the regrowth of the infectants down to an absolute minimum. To do this we will investigate and analyse the organic, atmospheric growths. We will then cordon and protect any green or vegetative borders that may be impacted by our initial detergent treatments. We will remove obvious growth and stains, and use our softwash treatment to prevent their recurrence, with no need of re-sanding.. Our satisfaction is in seeing prim again patio slabs, leaving you free to enjoy the summer on your patio!

Patios are a popular feature in UK homes, offering outdoor space for relaxation and entertaining. However, over time, patios can become discoloured and slippery due to algae, moss, lichen, and general grime. That’s where Softwashing UK comes in.
We offer professional patio cleaning using specialist soft washing technology — a safer, longer-lasting alternative to pressure washing.
Unlike pressure washing, which can damage pointing or loosen slabs, our low-pressure soft wash system uses biodegradable cleaning solutions that penetrate deep into porous surfaces. This method safely kills algae, moss, and organic growth at the root — without dislodging or eroding your patio.
Our soft washing doesn’t just make your patio look clean — it stops the problem at its source. By removing spores and biofilm, we help prevent the quick return of moss and algae, so your patio stays cleaner for longer.
We don’t just clean — we treat. Our biocidal softwash solution eliminates moss, algae, and lichen from your patio surface and joints, offering long-term protection against slippery, unsightly growth.
High-pressure methods can damage mortar and surface finishes. Our soft wash approach is gentle on stone, brick, and concrete but powerful against years of grime, restoring your patio’s appearance without the risks.
With Softwashing UK, your patio is in expert hands. Our team is fully trained, insured, and experienced in patio care — from chemical handling to appropriate softwashing methods.
Our cleaning solutions are pH neutral, biodegradable, and environmentally safe. They’re safe for pets, children, and surrounding plants when applied correctly, giving you a clean outdoor space with complete peace of mind.
We’re proud to offer a professional experience from start to finish. From your initial enquiry to final inspection, we deliver clear communication, punctuality, and high-quality results every step of the way.
A professionally cleaned patio doesn’t just look great — it’s also safer and more durable. Our cleaning service helps prevent slips, preserves surface integrity, and boosts the overall appeal of your garden or outdoor living area.

We’ve used this service a few times over the years for our house exterior, gutters, and patio, and they always do a great job. They’re reliable, thorough, and often go the extra mile, even with tough stains. Everything is left looking really clean, and they always explain things clearly. We’re very happy with the results and keep coming back.Posted on Google![]()

Softwashing UK was able to meet our gutter cleaning needs where others couldn’t. They were professional, reliable, and clearly knew what they were doing. They also did a fantastic job cleaning the render on our garage — it looks so much better now! Great service overall and I would definitely recommend them to others.Posted on Google![]()

Many thanks to Softwashing UK for their excellent work at a reasonable price. We had some long standing algae stains on the rendering of the rear walls on our property in Cardiff. And the admin team were great in providing a quote, planning the work, and visited our property beforehand to check access to complete the work. Excellent team who know what they are doing. We are really happy with the results, better than we expected. Thanks.+6Posted on Google![]()

We’ve used Softwashing a number of times over the past few years to clean the exterior of our house, gutters and patio. Every time it has been a fantastic service, always going above and beyond, whether it’s attacking a stubborn rust stain or taking time to explain the process. We have recommended them to friends and neighbours and using them every year is testament to how happy we are with the work they do. Thanks!Posted on Google![]()

The service was great, Gavin arrived on the dot of eight o’clock and he then talked me through the process before starting. He worked diligently using a range of different techniques to address the various issues. At the end the render looked like new! Would definitely recommend and will have them back again when it needs doing again!
