Why Lincoln properties need driveway cleaning

Driveways in Lincoln have problems you don’t get in most Lincolnshire towns. Up the hill there’s limestone dust and old stonework covered in growth, and down in the lower city the soil is heavy clay. Victorian terraces and Georgian townhouses in the Cathedral quarter get thick moss and algae on north-facing walls that hardly see the sun, and drives and patios out in places like Bracebridge and Skellingthorpe collect the muddy runoff you get anywhere on Lincolnshire clay.

Driveway cleaning in Lincoln by Fenland Property Care

Lincoln driveways, uphill and down

Clay from gardens in the lower city gets carried onto Lincoln driveways on tyres and shoes, and limestone grit from round the Cathedral settles into block paving joints. Both need a pre-treatment before pressure washing if you want the clean to last.

βœ—
Black algae
Algae works into the pores of the paving, so even a stiff brush leaves it behind.
βœ—
Moss in the shade
North-facing drives that hardly see sun stay mossy and slippery, especially in winter.
βœ—
Weeds and loose blocks
When weeds root in the joints they gradually push the blocks out of place.
βœ—
Oil and tyre marks
Drips and tyre marks look like they're there for good, but most lift with the right treatment.

Driveway cleaning in Lincoln, surface by surface

A lot of our Lincoln work is block paving and concrete, though we reseal drives too.

Block paving
High-pressure cleaning lifts moss and algae, and then the weeds come out of the joints so the colour returns.
Tarmac cleaning
Tarmac washed at a pressure that leaves it sound.
Concrete and imprinted
We clean plain concrete as well as imprinted drives.
Natural stone
Limestone, sandstone and slate get a low-pressure soft wash instead of a jet.
Driveway resealing
If you want it, sealing after the clean means grit and clay take longer to stain.
Oil stain removal
Fuel and oil spills get degreased before the wash.

How driveway cleaning in Lincoln works

1
Free assessment
We look at your surface first, then explain which method suits it.
2
Pre-treatment
Biocide or degreaser goes down before washing, so algae and oil begin to break down.
3
Pressure wash
Pressure is set for the surface, because too much would damage it.
4
Re-sanding if needed
When washing is done, block paving joints get kiln-dried sand if they need it.

Serving Lincoln and the surrounding area

We clean drives all over Lincoln and also in the villages and towns around the city. Here are a few.

πŸ“ Parking is restricted in the city centre in LN1 and LN2, so we book Cathedral quarter jobs for early in the morning.

Driveway questions from Lincoln

Q: Can you clean period stone and limestone properties near Lincoln Cathedral?
A: Yes. We use a low-pressure soft wash that’s safe for Lincoln’s old limestone and medieval stonework, and we never use high pressure near lime mortar or period stone. We’ve worked on plenty of properties in Bailgate and the Cathedral quarter.
Q: Is pressure washing safe on block paving?
A: Yes, so long as it's set right. We adjust the pressure for each surface and only take out the joint sand we have to.
Q: Can you reseal a drive after cleaning it?
A: Yes, as an add-on. It generally means the drive goes a good while longer before it needs cleaning again.
Q: How long does a drive take to clean?
A: Most house drives take 2–4 hours. When you book, we'll give you an estimate.

From the initial consultation through to the completion of our roof cleaning, including the thorough removal of all debris afterwards, the Fenland Property Care team were consistently professional, courteous and meticulous. We were also very pleased with the cost of the works, which represented excellent value for the service provided.

The operative arrived on time, as arranged. Brought the necessary kit to clean an accumulation of dirt, weeds and debris over several years from our drive and patio. This was accomplished by the end of the working day when all was looking pristine. Surfaces had been cleaned down. A week later they were back to fill the gaps with kiln dried sand and now it looks like new.

Absolutely brilliant service. Very professional and friendly. Came to give a quote and was pleasantly surprised. My front and back garden look brand new. All slabs are the original colour and weedless and the front is weed free and looks amazing. They worked really hard throughout the day and also returned to finish the work, due to really hot weather. Very good customer service, had a concer and called me back within 30 minutes. Would definitely recommend πŸ‘Œ

An excellent job. From start to finish what an absolute pleasure. No pushy salesman just an authentic genuine quote. Even when I added a couple of bits, nothing was too much trouble. The price was really good too. Paul and Dale turned up on time on the date stated. Even though the weather was horrible they got cracked on with the job. They grafted all the time they were there. The work carried out was exceptionally good. They cleaned up all of the mess afterwards and let the place spotless. I cannot praise them enough. They treated my mum and her bungalow with the utmost respect.

Fenland did a great job cleaning and re-sanding my block paving path and my patio. Polite and efficient and cleaned the doors and windows where the dirt had splashed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Paul cleaned my drive, paths and patio the other day and I have never seen them look so clean. He cleaned the windows and left everything clean and tidy. We were very pleased with the way he worked and have had a lots of compliments from other people. We would not hesitate to recommend his work.
