Why Horncastle properties need driveway cleaning

Horncastle is where the River Bain and the River Waring meet, low down at the foot of the Wolds, and the town tends to stay damp, so moss and algae grow on most outside surfaces. The antiques shops are in some of the oldest and most delicate buildings in the area, and the estates on the edge of town get heavy moss like most sheltered inland towns. With the rivers so close, things rarely dry out properly between autumn and spring.

Why Horncastle drives go green

The clay soils around Horncastle get onto driveways and paths in the farming season. With the damp in the valley, that turns into green staining that needs a pre-treatment to lift fully.

βœ—
Black algae, especially in shade
Algae settles into the surface pores, so a stiff brush won't shift it.
βœ—
Moss that won't dry
Moss on a valley drive rarely dries out, so it stays slippery from autumn to spring.
βœ—
Weeds pushing up
Weeds and grass in the joints gradually lift the blocks out of place.
βœ—
Oil and tyre stains
Car drips and tyre marks look permanent, although a degreaser lifts most of them.

What we clean in Horncastle, including stone

We clean block paving and concrete across Horncastle, and we reseal drives as well.

Block paving cleaning
A high-pressure clean takes off the moss and algae, then clears joint weeds so the colour shows again.
Tarmac cleaning
Tarmac washed at a pressure that won't break it up.
Concrete drives
Plain concrete and imprinted patterns both cleaned.
Stone and flags
We use a low-pressure soft wash on stone, especially older sandstone and limestone.
Driveway resealing
After the clean we can seal the surface, so it keeps cleaner for longer.
Oil treatment
A degreaser goes onto oil and fuel spills first.

How driveway cleaning in Horncastle works

1
Free assessment
We assess the surface, and then advise you on the right method.
2
Pre-treatment
Before washing, a biocide or degreaser goes on to break down algae and oil.
3
Pressure wash
Then the pressure is set for the surface, so it gets clean without harm.
4
Joint sand, if needed
Block paving joints get topped up with kiln-dried sand as soon as we've finished.

Horncastle as well as the Wolds villages

We clean drives across Horncastle and also in the villages and towns round about. Here are a few.

Horncastle driveway questions

Q: Do you cover properties near the River Bain in Horncastle?
A: Yes. Houses by the river in Horncastle stay damper and algae comes back faster. For riverside and low-lying properties around Horncastle we put down a biocide treatment with the clean.
Q: Will pressure washing damage block paving?
A: No. We adjust the pressure for each surface, so block paving loses only as much joint sand as it has to.
Q: Can you reseal the drive when it's clean?
A: Yes, as an optional add-on. It means your drive can go longer before it needs cleaning again.
Q: How long will my drive take to clean?
A: Most house drives take 2–4 hours. We'll give you a time estimate when you book.

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.
