Your patio looks tired. Moss growing. Algae on the stones. Bird droppings. Weeds in the cracks. It does not look like the outdoor space where you want to sit and enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine.
Professional patio cleaning costs €60–€250 depending on patio size, current condition, and whether you want sealant applied. This guide explains what is involved, what it costs, and why professional cleaning is often cheaper than the damage you risk by letting buildup continue.
| Patio Size | Cost Range | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Small Patio (up to 20m²) | €60–€100 | 1–2 hrs |
| Medium Patio (20–40m²) | €100–€150 | 2–3 hrs |
| Large Patio (40m²+) | €150–€250 | 3–5 hrs |
Heavily soiled patios or those with thick moss buildup may cost more. Many companies offer sealant application after cleaning (€20–€60 extra) to prevent moss returning. Always get a quote based on your patio condition.
High-pressure water removes moss, algae, dirt, and stains. Stones come back to their original colour and brightness.
Weeds and moss are removed from between paving stones. Grout lines are cleaned thoroughly.
Stones can be sealed to prevent moss returning and to protect from weather. Recommended after cleaning. Usually costs €20–€60 extra but saves you from frequent re-cleaning.
Professional pressure washing does not damage delicate stone. The right pressure is used for your patio type. Expert knowledge prevents damage.
€60–€150. Cleans the current mess. Moss may return in 6–12 months.
€100–€200. Cleans AND protects. Moss takes 18+ months to return.
Our patio was disgusting with moss. Professional clean cost €110 and it looks new again. We added the sealant for another €40. It has been 10 months and still looks clean. Worth every penny.
