Why Alford properties need professional tarmac cleaning

Alford is a market town on the edge of the Wolds, with plenty of Victorian and Georgian brick buildings around the centre. Clay soil blows in off the farmland, and the town’s established trees keep a lot of north and west-facing surfaces in shade, where algae grows quickly. Over time the brickwork picks up a reddish-brown film of Wolds clay dust.

When Alford tarmac starts to look tired

Tarmac in Alford collects fine clay dust from the fields, mostly at harvest when it’s dry. The town sits lower and more sheltered than the open Wolds above it, so drives stay damp and that dust soon has algae growing in it.

✗

Green and slippery

Shaded drives under Alford's old trees grow algae fast, so we kill it off rather than just rinse it.

✗

Drips from the car

Oil sinks deep into tarmac. Because of that we use a degreaser, since washing-up liquid won't shift it.

✗

Gone grey

Years of sun and rain take the black out of tarmac, but a proper clean brings a lot of the colour back.

✗

Weeds at the kerb

If weeds are pushing up along the kerbs and cracks, we pull them out and treat the roots during the same visit.

Local experts

Alford drives tend to carry clay dust as well as algae, so we pick the method to suit what's actually on your surface before we start.

💧

Matched to your drive

Older, thinner tarmac gets gentler handling than a newer drive, so nothing is damaged.

✅

Fully insured

We also hold £1m public liability insurance on every Alford job.

How our Alford tarmac cleaning works

First, a free survey

We come out, look at the size and state of the tarmac, then give you a fixed price. There's no obligation.

Pre-treatment

Then the pre-treatment. Biocide goes on the algae and moss, while any oil marks get a degreaser that we leave to soak in.

Hot water, sensible pressure

We clean with hot water, but the pressure stays low enough that the surface doesn't lift or blister. It's still plenty to get the dirt out.

Weeds and edges

Next the cracks and edges are cleared, then treated so weeds are slower to return.

Clearing up

Finally we rinse off the residue and take it away, so you're left with darker, cleaner tarmac.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Is pressure washing safe on an Alford drive?

A: Yes, as long as the pressure is controlled. Too much force can lift tarmac, so we keep it at a level that cleans properly while the surface stays intact.

Q: Can you get oil marks out of tarmac?

A: Mostly, yes. A degreaser goes on first to break the oil down. Very old stains may fade rather than vanish, but they generally look far better afterwards.

Q: How long will my drive take?

A: A typical home driveway takes 2–3 hours, though we'll give you a proper estimate when we quote.

Q: Is it worth resealing tarmac once it's clean?

A: It can be. After cleaning, a restoration coating (reblacking) brings the deep black back and also protects the surface. If you'd like both, we can quote for them 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 👌

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

We would not hesitate to recommend his work.
