Our default here is hand-scrub on Grade II or historic stone, followed by biocide long-kill treatment, giving you sealed matt finish.
We're regularly close to Salts Mill and the world-heritage Saltaire village, so Shipley sits inside our normal working week — not an out-of-area detour.

Shipley patios — FAQs
How long does Patio Cleaning take on a typical Shipley property?+
A 25–40m² garden patio typically takes 3–5 hours end to end. In Shipley specifically, most BD18 properties run inside a single visit.
Do you cover the whole of BD18?+
Yes — we're on Shipley weekly and cover the BD18 district in full, plus the surrounding villages like Saltaire, Baildon, Bingley.
Will pressure washing damage my Yorkshire stone flags with older buff sandstone paths?+
Not if the method is right. On Yorkshire stone flags with older buff sandstone paths we run hand-scrub on Grade II or historic stone at a controlled pressure rather than blasting, which is the right call for suburb properties in Shipley.
How often should patios be cleaned in Shipley?+
In Shipley the answer depends on aspect — Canal-corridor damp keeps north-facing yards mossy — perfect candidates for a full biocide reset. For most homes, once every 12–18 months keeps the finish consistent.
Can you clean around parked cars or delivery hours in Shipley?+
Yes — plenty of our Shipley jobs are timed around commercial hours or the school run. We're happy to work early or late where access needs it.
