Why Gainsborough properties need professional tarmac cleaning

Gainsborough is on the River Trent, and the river keeps the town damper than most inland Lincolnshire towns. Old mill terraces and workers’ cottages near the bank sit in shade and damp, where moss and algae take hold fast. Up around the market area it’s drier, but soil from the farmland round about still blows in, and some of the older industrial streets carry a layer of grime.

What the river does to Gainsborough tarmac

Near the Trent, tarmac in Gainsborough can grow heavy green algae in a single season. Around the old industrial areas there’s oil staining too, and with the damp from the river the two together take a proper clean to shift.

✗

Heavy green growth

Drives near the river can grow thick algae in a single season, so we kill it rather than just rinse the top off.

✗

Oil and old grime

Around the older streets you get oil staining as well as dirt. We use a degreaser, since ordinary cleaners won't lift it.

✗

Grey with age

Tarmac fades as the years go by, but a deep clean still brings a lot of its darker colour back.

✗

Weeds taking hold

When weeds root in cracks and edges, they make a drive look neglected, so we clear and treat them while we clean.

Step by step

Free quote visit

We see how big the tarmac is and what state it's in, then give you a fixed price. There's no obligation.

Pre-treatment

Next comes biocide on the algae and moss. Oil stains get a degreaser as well, and it's left to soak in before we start washing.

The hot water clean

Then we clean with hot water at a pressure that suits tarmac, so the grime comes out but the surface doesn't lift or blister.

Edges and weeds

Weeds are cleared from the edges and cracks, and then treated so they're slower to return.

Clearing away

Finally we rinse down and clear the residue, so the drive is left clean and noticeably darker.

Serving Gainsborough and the Trent villages

We clean tarmac right across Gainsborough as well as in the villages and towns nearby, including these.

Tarmac cleaning in Gainsborough, your questions answered

Q: Can pressure washing damage tarmac?

A: It can if it's overdone, which is why we keep the pressure controlled. The surface gets a thorough clean while it stays intact.

Q: Can you deal with oil stains?

A: In most cases. We put degreaser on first so it breaks the oil down. Older, deeper stains may only lighten, although the difference is still usually big.

Q: How long will it take to clean my drive?

A: Most home driveways take 2–3 hours. We'll give you an accurate estimate when we quote.

Q: Should I think about resealing afterwards?

A: It's an option. Once the clean is done, a restoration coating (reblacking) can go on, so the colour comes back and the surface is protected. Ask us about doing 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.

 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.
