It's a small patio and I wondered whether they'd want the job. No problem at all.

They gave it a thorough clean and left the area neat.

Our enquiry concerned limestone paving, some of which had become quite dark. Elephant explained the proposed cleaning method after checking the surface and joints.

We accepted the quotation and the work was completed as agreed. The appearance is considerably improved, without any suggestion beforehand that years of wear would disappear. I found the advice measured and the arrangements efficient. We would be comfortable using the company again.

We can see the patio from our kitchen table and it had been bothering me for months. Finally rang Elephant and got it booked.

Such a relief to look out at clean paving instead of another job I hadn't done.

All that green round the edges has gone. Decent job and they cleared up after themselves.

The old slabs have come up surprisingly well. No plans to replace them now.

I was nervous about the limestone after reading about unsuitable cleaners. They checked the stone before choosing what to use and talked me through it.

I'd assumed the pale patch on our concrete patio was something they'd wash off, but they explained it appeared to be a mineral deposit. Glad that was raised before work began.

It's still visible, although the rest is so much cleaner that it bothers me less. The team were polite and didn't leave me a load of muck to deal with. I'm happy with the improvement.

It's the view through the kitchen doors that's changed most. Before, I kept looking past the patio towards the plants because the paving was so grubby.

Now it all looks lovely together! We haven't sealed it, just had the cleaning done. They explained that was an option we could consider separately, which suited our budget. Already had breakfast outside more often than I did before, although I'm still waiting for a reliably sunny morning.

Should've booked this ages ago! Patio looks twice as inviting.

Used Elephant on a friend's recommendation. Easy to arrange, work done as quoted.

Nothing to grumble about.

The quote identified the area and treatment clearly, which made it easy to compare with another we'd received. We chose Elephant and the work matched what was set out.

Some older marks remain on the paving, but these had been discussed beforehand. I found the company easy to deal with and the overall result satisfactory. No unexpected additions to the bill.

Good work on some rather neglected paving. They paid attention to the edges as well as the open area, and the rubbish was cleared away afterwards.

I would use the company again.

The black spots haven't all vanished, but there are far fewer. They were clear about the likely result beforehand.

We'd already cleared the pots and table, so they could see the whole area. Some horrible patches underneath where things had been standing.

Those have come up well and the patio looks much more even. I thought we'd end up hiding the same bits again, but there's no need.

Thank you for being so pleasant while you were here. I find it difficult to tackle the patio myself now and was grateful to have it cleaned without being left another job afterwards.
