Why Spalding properties need professional tarmac cleaning

Spalding is in the middle of the South Holland fens, with bulb fields around it and the River Welland running through. The fen soil is peat and silt, and wind and floodwater both carry it onto properties in wet seasons. The town is flat, so water sits on drives instead of draining off. That means staining and green growth come back sooner than on higher ground.

Why Spalding tarmac grows thick algae

With the Welland nearby and flat bulb fields all around, tarmac in Spalding stays damp and grows thick algae. It comes back quickly after cleaning unless the surface gets a biocide treatment as well.

✗
Thick algae
Flat, damp drives grow a thick green layer, so we kill it and then treat the surface to slow regrowth.
✗
Oil stains
Oil soaks deep into tarmac. A proper degreaser lifts it, whereas shop products barely touch it.
✗
Faded black
Over time tarmac turns grey, but cleaning off the grime brings much of its colour back.
✗
Silt and weeds
Fen silt settles in cracks and weeds soon follow, so we clear them out and treat the edges during the clean.

Step by step

1
A free survey
We check how much tarmac there is and its condition, then give you a fixed price. There's no obligation.
2
Pre-treatment
Biocide goes on first to kill algae and moss. Oil marks get degreaser, then it's left to soak in before washing.
3
The main wash
After that we pressure clean with hot water, set for tarmac, so it cleans thoroughly but doesn't lift or blister the surface.
4
Edges and weeds
We clear weeds from cracks and edges, then treat them so regrowth is slower.
5
Final clear-up
Finally the residue is rinsed off and cleared, so your tarmac is left clean and darker.

Tarmac cleaning in Spalding, your questions answered

Q: Does jet washing damage tarmac?
A: Only if too much force is used. We keep the pressure controlled, so the drive gets a deep clean and the surface stays put.
Q: Can you remove oil marks?
A: Generally. Degreaser goes on first to break the oil down, then we clean. Older stains may lighten rather than go completely, but most look much better.
Q: How long will my drive take?
A: Most home driveways take 2–3 hours, and we'll give you an estimate when we quote.
Q: Should I have it reblacked afterwards?
A: It's worth considering. After cleaning, a restoration coating (reblacking) brings back the deep black and helps protect the surface. We can quote for both together.

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 👌

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.
