Wasn't sure our tiny patio would be worth asking about. It was, and I'm glad I did.

The slabs outside the kitchen look lovely now, even the awkward bit behind the water butt. Feels much nicer opening the doors onto it.

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 have porcelain outside the kitchen and I was fed up with the grubby film that ordinary mopping seemed to move around. The clean has made a noticeable difference, especially once the tiles dried.

There were no obvious streaks left behind. Booking was simple enough and the work was done at the agreed price. I'd use Elephant again when it needs more than I can manage myself.

Our limestone needed somebody who understood what they were cleaning. They checked the stone and its condition before explaining the method.

I felt comfortable with the approach and the finished appearance is much improved. The joints were also considered, which had been a concern of mine.

My daughter recommended them after having her own patio cleaned. I had a few questions about the shaded corner, where the green always comes back.

Ashley was honest that cleaning wouldn't stop that happening forever. It looks much better now, and I've been making more effort to keep the fallen leaves off it.

The black marks were my main reason for booking. I'd scrubbed them and got nowhere.

They explained that the affected patches needed a suitable treatment as well as washing, and most are now much less obvious. A few remain, which I can live with. It's made enough difference that I've stopped pricing up replacement paving.

Elephant cleaned ours after months of building work had left the garden looking neglected. The paving was one of the few things we were keeping.

Glad we did, because it's come up well and looks right with the rest of the garden now.

No problems. They came when arranged and I showed them the outside tap and access round the side.

I was working in the shed for most of it so didn't watch every stage. Had a look when they'd finished and the slabs were clean right up to the borders. The mess had been cleared away as well. Paid the agreed amount and would use them again.

A neighbour passed on the number. I rang, arranged the clean and had the patio done without any difficulty.

The men were courteous and cleared away the mess they made. I am satisfied with the work and thought the charge was reasonable.

Thank you for a lovely job. I can see the paving properly again and have put my pots back in a different arrangement.

Such a pleasure to have that space looking cared for.

Lovely seeing the different shades in the stone again! We'd moved all the pots before they came and I was a bit horrified by the patches underneath.

Those have cleaned up nicely too. The garden feels ready to use now.

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.

We had the patio cleaned before our daughter came home for a visit. Mostly wanted somewhere decent to sit together if the weather allowed.

It came up well and booking was straightforward. No elaborate story to tell, just a job done as agreed. We did get an afternoon outside in the end, which made it worthwhile.

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

We only meant to get the patio looking presentable before friends came round, but I'm enjoying it far more than expected. Had lunch outside twice this week.

The stone has lovely warm colours that were barely visible before. Booking was simple and I liked knowing what was included before agreeing to the price. No last-minute decisions needed on the day.
