Stubborn Lichen? We Have the Solution
Ruddington's mature gardens and established hedgerows mean lichen growth is common, particularly on patios that haven't been cleaned for years. Lichen can't be removed by pressure washing alone. We use a specialist sodium hypochlorite treatment that kills lichen at the root, applied safely with proper protective equipment. Ideal for older patios in the village's period properties.

Why Ruddington Patios Get So Dirty
Ruddington's village setting south of Nottingham brings a particular set of challenges for patios. The village is surrounded by farmland and open countryside on the Rushcliffe side, with mature gardens, established hedgerows and a high proportion of older period properties — many with original patios laid decades ago.
The combination of mature trees and tall garden hedges throughout Ruddington — particularly around the conservation area, St Peter's Church and the older streets off the High Street — creates shaded, damp microclimates where moss, algae and lichen thrive year-round.
Many Ruddington homes have patios that haven't been touched since they were laid, sometimes 20+ years ago. Combined with wind-blown debris from the surrounding fields and Rushcliffe Country Park, even well-maintained patios can quickly become green, slippery and dangerous underfoot.

Ruddington's village setting brings mature gardens, established hedgerows and many older period properties — meaning patios accumulate organic debris and moisture in shaded conditions. Combined with wind-blown debris from the surrounding farmland and Rushcliffe Country Park, even well-maintained patios in Ruddington are prone to green algae and stubborn lichen growth.
We use a specialist sodium hypochlorite treatment to kill and remove stubborn lichen from natural stone patios. This is applied with proper protective equipment before pressure washing. The treatment penetrates the lichen to remove it completely rather than just cleaning the surface.
Yes, Indian stone is one of the most common patio surfaces we clean in Ruddington. We adjust our pressure settings and techniques specifically for natural stone to avoid damage while achieving excellent results. We've cleaned hundreds of Indian stone patios across Nottingham.
