Black spots — those deep, dark marks on patios and driveways — are caused by lichen that embeds into porous surfaces. They’re tough, unsightly, and resistant to regular cleaning. Left untreated, they spread and age your outdoor spaces dramatically.
At J.S.Cleaning, we specialise in safely removing black spots using targeted treatments that eliminate lichen at the root — without damaging the surface underneath. The result? A cleaner, brighter finish that restores the original beauty of your paving.
Service Process
01
Surface Assessment
We inspect the area to confirm black spot presence and choose the right cleaning method.
02
Pre-Treatment
We apply a specialist cleaning solution that penetrates deep into the pores of your paving to break down lichen.
03
Agitation (if required)
For heavy staining, we gently agitate the surface to loosen embedded growth.
04
Powerful Rinse
After the treatment has done its work, we rinse the surface thoroughly — lifting stains and revealing clean stone underneath.
05
Aftercare Guidance
We offer tips for slowing down future growth and keeping your patio in top condition.
