Patio Cleaning in Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy
Why Does My Patio Require Regular Maintenance?
Patios are mostly set in damp and green environments, this leads to natural growth from biological agents. Lichen is a common sight on patios, and this is a composite organism that results from algae and they are living organisms. See en.wikipedia.org for further reading. Without treatment these organisms discolour patios and overtime stain the surface.
How Do We Treat Patios?
Depending on various factors we may use a surface cleaner to offer a pressure washing service; if so then the process includes a large circular machine directly releasing pressurised water onto the patio slabs. The reason for this method is that a surface cleaner will create a uniform finish on the patio and clean deep into the joints as well.
We are also able to clean patios in Dunfermline and other areas with a biocide wash that kills lichens, this substance is PH neutral and so does not harm any nearby environments but does break down the dirt that’s accumulated on the surface while also is approved by the Health and Safety Executive for use in the UK. The particular certificate number of the one we use is 9936.
