Why Lincoln properties need professional tarmac cleaning

Homes in Lincoln have different problems depending on where they are. Uphill around the Cathedral, old limestone sheds dust onto everything, while the heavy clay of the lower city and riverside gets walked and driven onto drives all year. Victorian terraces and Georgian townhouses in the Cathedral quarter grow thick moss on north faces that rarely see the sun, and newer estates like Birchwood and Skellingthorpe get clay mud washing onto them from Lincoln’s lower ground.

What Lincoln does to tarmac

Tarmac in Lincoln gets limestone dust from uphill and heavy clay from the lower city, so it picks up mineral deposits and green growth faster than you’d expect. Drives go grey and tired, and clay in the cracks helps weeds get going.

✗
Clay in the cracks
Heavy clay from the lower city settles in cracks, so weeds soon follow. We clear them, then treat what's left.
✗
Oil from cars
With so many cars about, oil drips are common. Because tarmac soaks them up, we use a proper degreaser.
✗
Grey and tired
Drives across the city go grey as they age, but a deep clean takes off much of the dull film.
✗
Green growth
Shaded drives grow algae and moss faster than you'd expect, so we kill the growth instead of just rinsing it off.

How tarmac cleaning in Lincoln works

1
A free quote first
We see how big your tarmac is and how dirty, then give you a fixed price. There's no obligation.
2
Pre-treatment
Then biocide goes on any algae and moss. Oil stains get degreaser as well, and it's left to sink in before the wash.
3
Hot water, right pressure
Next comes hot water pressure cleaning at a setting that suits tarmac, so mineral dirt and grime come out without the surface lifting.
4
Weeds cleared
We clear weeds from the cracks and edges, then treat them so they take longer to come back.
5
Rinse down
Finally we rinse off the residue and clear it, so the tarmac is left clean and visibly darker.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Can a pressure washer damage tarmac?
A: Only if it's used too hard. We control the pressure and keep the technique steady, so the drive gets cleaned and the surface stays put.
Q: Do you remove oil stains?
A: Usually, yes. Degreaser goes on first so it can break down the oil. Very old stains may lighten rather than disappear, although the difference is usually big.
Q: How long does a drive take?
A: Most home driveways take 2–3 hours, though larger areas take longer, and we'll estimate yours when we quote.
Q: Is it worth having the tarmac reblacked?
A: Often it is. A restoration coating (reblacking) goes on after the clean, so the deep black returns and the surface is protected. We can quote for both at once.

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.
