Patios take the brunt of British weather — rain, frost, fallen leaves and constant shade create the perfect conditions for algae, moss and those stubborn black spots that make the surface look neglected. Jet Kings has cleaned and restored hundreds of patios across Leicester, from small courtyard spaces in the city to large Indian stone entertaining areas in Market Harborough and Melton Mowbray. We treat each patio according to its material because sandstone needs a different approach to concrete, and a badly pointed patio needs care that a pressure washer alone cannot provide. The result is a patio that looks inviting again — ready for barbecues, family time and relaxed weekends.
Over 10 years of experience, 500+ happy customers, and a method matched to your surface — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Every patio cleaning job starts with a proper assessment. We check the surface material, its condition, how water drains, and any specific problems like staining or organic growth. Then we choose the right method — not the same setting for every job.
Different surfaces need different pressures, nozzles and treatments. Here is what we work with and how we approach each one for patio cleaning in Leicester:
Popular in Leicester homes. Porous and needs careful pressure control. Responds well to biocide pre-treatment for black spot removal.
Softer than Indian stone. We use lower pressure and wider spray patterns to avoid surface erosion.
Sensitive to acidic cleaners. We use pH-neutral treatments and gentle washing to preserve the natural finish.
Hard-wearing but prone to algae in the texture. Rotary cleaning restores the original colour effectively.
Non-porous and easy to clean. We use lower pressure to avoid damaging the glaze or grout lines.
Leicester properties face particular challenges from the local climate, tree cover and housing types. These are the issues we deal with most often:
Those dark, stubborn spots that do not brush off are usually lichen. We apply a biocide treatment that kills the growth and keeps working for weeks after application.
Shaded patios develop a green film that becomes dangerously slippery when wet. Our cleaning removes it and we can advise on reducing shade-related regrowth.
Weeds root in the joints and can slowly push slabs apart. We clear the joints during cleaning and offer re-sanding or re-pointing to prevent recurrence.
A white, powdery residue that sometimes appears on newer paving. We can advise on whether cleaning or natural weathering is the best approach.
Organic stains and rust marks from metal furniture. We use targeted treatments to lift these before the main clean.
We have been cleaning exteriors across Leicester and Leicestershire for over a decade. We know the local housing types, the common problems, and the right approach for each.
Full public liability insurance, trained technicians, and health and safety procedures for every job. We protect your property as carefully as we clean it.
Biodegradable cleaning products that are safe for plants, pets and children once dry. We manage water runoff responsibly and minimise waste.

Yes. Black spots are usually lichen and need a biocide treatment rather than just pressure washing. We apply the treatment during the clean and it continues working for several weeks, killing the growth so it does not return quickly.
Not when done correctly. We use lower pressure and wider spray patterns for natural stone. The risk of damage comes from using too much pressure or holding the lance too close — both of which we avoid through proper training and experience.
Sealing is optional but recommended for porous stones like Indian sandstone and limestone. A quality sealant helps prevent staining from spills, reduces algae adhesion, and makes future cleaning easier. We can advise whether sealing is right for your patio.
You can walk on it immediately after cleaning. If we have applied a sealant, we recommend keeping furniture and heavy use off for 24 hours to allow proper curing.
If your patio is block paving, yes — we can re-sand the joints with kiln-dried sand after cleaning. For slab patios, we can advise on pointing repairs if the mortar between slabs is deteriorated.
Most patios benefit from a professional clean once a year, ideally in spring to prepare for the summer months. Shaded patios or those near trees may need attention every 6-9 months.
Yes. We use biodegradable, eco-friendly cleaning products that are safe for plants, grass and wildlife. We also rinse down adjacent planted areas as a precaution.
