Why Bourne properties need professional tarmac cleaning

Bourne sits where the South Lincolnshire fens meet the limestone, so it gets a bit of both. Older stone and brick properties pick up dust off the surrounding fields. Homes in the lower, fen-side parts of town stay damper, grow algae faster and get dark staining from the fen soil. It isn’t a big town, so plenty of houses are close to open farmland.

What builds up on tarmac in Bourne

On the fen edge, tarmac drives in Bourne stay damp and pick up soil from the farmland around the town. That gives you algae growth and dark peaty stains, and both come off with pre-treatment and a proper clean.

✗
Peaty staining
Soil off the farmland leaves dark marks, so we pre-treat them before the main clean rather than just hosing.
✗
Car oil
Drips from cars soak in and spread. Even so, the right degreaser shifts far more than anything from the shops.
✗
Losing its colour
As tarmac ages it turns grey. A good clean won't make it new, but it does bring back a lot of the darker colour.
✗
Weeds creeping in
Weeds in the cracks and along the edge make a drive look neglected, so we clear them and treat them while we clean.

Our tarmac cleaning in Bourne, start to finish

1
Coming to see it
We check the size and condition of the tarmac, then you get a fixed price. If you'd rather not go ahead, that's fine.
2
Pre-treatment
Then biocide goes on to kill algae and moss. Oil stains are treated with a degreaser, and it's given time to sink in before any washing.
3
Washing at the right pressure
Hot water pressure cleaning comes next, though we keep the pressure at a level tarmac can take, so it cleans without lifting the surface.
4
Edges and joins
Weeds get cleared from cracks and edges, then treated so they're slower to grow back.
5
Leaving it tidy
We rinse everything off and clear away the residue, so you're left with clean, darker tarmac.

Tarmac cleaning in Bourne, your questions answered

Q: Does pressure washing harm tarmac?
A: Not when it's done with care. We control the pressure and use the right technique, so the surface comes up clean without lifting or crumbling.
Q: How long does a drive take to clean?
A: Most home driveways take 2–3 hours. Because sizes vary, we'll give you a proper estimate at the quote stage.
Q: Will the oil stains come out?
A: Usually. We apply degreaser before the clean, although very old stains may lighten rather than go completely.
Q: Can the tarmac be reblacked after cleaning?
A: Yes, and it's often worth doing. A restoration coating goes on after the clean to bring back the black and protect the surface, so ask if you'd like the two done 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.
