Professional Black Spot Removal in Winchester

If you have noticed persistent, stubborn dark marks across your patio that will not shift with a standard hose or brush, you are likely dealing with black spot lichen. At Under Pressure Southern, we provide expert lichen treatment and black spot removal services for homeowners and businesses throughout Winchester and the surrounding Hampshire area. These spots are not just simple surface dirt; they are a resilient biological growth that anchors itself deep into the pores of natural stone. Left untreated, they can compromise the aesthetic appeal of your outdoor spaces and contribute to a slippery, unsafe surface.

Expert Black Spot Removal in Hedge End & Eastleigh

As Southampton's trusted exterior surface restoration specialists, Under Pressure Southern safely eliminates stubborn lichen and algae. Using fully insured methods, precise pressure management, and biodegradable stone cleaners, we restore your natural sandstone to its former glory without risking structural damage.

How We Safely Remove Lichen from Your Surfaces

Standard domestic pressure washers often lack the power or correct technique to remove black spots, frequently damaging the stone surface in the process. Our approach combines advanced pressure washing technology with specialised, biodegradable chemical treatments designed to neutralise the growth at its root. By softening the lichen, we can lift it from the stone pores safely and effectively without resorting to aggressive pressure that could degrade your patio or driveway. This ensures the structural integrity of your masonry remains intact while achieving a deep, professional clean that restores the natural beauty of your paving.

We understand the unique challenges posed by the local climate, which often encourages the rapid spread of algae and black spot lichen. As a fully insured business, we carry comprehensive public liability coverage, providing you with total peace of mind while we work on your property. Our team operates with a commitment to high standards, ensuring every job is handled with the professionalism and care your home or business deserves.

FAQ

Black Spot Removal FAQs

Answers to common questions about our professional black spot removal and natural stone patio restoration services across Southampton, Hedge End, and Eastleigh.

What exactly is the black spot on my patio?

+

Those black marks are actually lichens. They thrive in the damp UK climate and thrive on the minerals found in natural stone. They grow into the stone's pores, which is why they don't just wash away with a standard hose or a basic pressure washer.

Will the chemicals you use harm my plants or my dog?

+

We use professional-grade, biodegradable stone cleaners. Once we have finished the cleaning process and rinsed the area thoroughly, the surface is perfectly safe for pets and children. We also take care to pre-wet surrounding grass and plants to protect them during the treatment.

Can you remove black spots from Indian Sandstone without damaging it?

+

Yes, sandstone restoration is one of our specialities. We use a "soft wash" approach combined with professional treatments that lift the spots without needing to use excessive pressure that could delaminate or scar the stone.

How long will it take to clean my patio?

+

Most domestic patios in Hedge End can be completed in a single day. This includes the preparation, treatment application, washing, and a final rinse down. If your patio needs re-sanding, we usually return on a dry day to complete that step.

How often should I have my patio professionally cleaned?

+

To keep black spot and algae at bay, we usually recommend a professional clean and treatment every 12 to 24 months, depending on how much shade and moisture your garden gets.
