Driveway and patio cleaning Edge Hill

Yes, Edge Hill is well within our regular patch. We’re a local, family-run exterior cleaning company based in Fazakerley, and we work on yards, driveways, patios and gutters across L7, from the terraces off Wavertree Road and Smithdown Lane to the streets round Durning Road, Tunnel Road and Crown Street. We’re in and around the area most weeks.

Edge Hill has a real mix of homes. There are long rows of Victorian terraces with small back yards, newer townhouses with block paved parking, and plenty of shared houses. Each needs a slightly different approach, and our patio cleaning and yard cleaning is set up to work in tight spaces as well as big gardens.

We also work right next door, including Kensington to the north and Wavertree to the south east. If your street sits on the border, that’s no problem. We’ll come to you wherever you are, seven days a week, between 7am and 7pm.

Our driveway and patio cleaning starts from £100, and every driveway or patio clean comes with a free bin clean. The exact price depends on the size of the area, the surface and how much moss, algae, weeds or staining needs shifting. A small terraced yard will usually sit at the lower end, while a larger drive with heavy growth and re-sanding takes more time.

The easiest way to get a firm figure is to send us a couple of photos over WhatsApp to 07469 539 068. Take one wide picture of the whole area and a close up of the worst bits. When you send photos for your quote, we take 10% off the price.

If the joints have emptied out or the blocks have started to move, it’s worth asking about driveway sanding at the same time, as it’s much easier to price both together. We’ll always break down what’s included so you know exactly what you’re paying for, and there’s no obligation to go ahead.

We’re local, so we try not to keep anyone waiting. Edge Hill is on our regular routes across the south and east of the city, which means we’re often working nearby and can fit in a quote visit or a job around the others we already have booked.

The fastest way to get things moving is to send us photos. If we can see the job clearly, we can usually price it without visiting first, which saves you waiting in. Once you’re happy with the quote, we’ll agree a day and time that suits you and we’ll turn up when we say we will.

How soon we can book you in depends on the time of year and the weather. Spring and autumn are our busiest months, and gutter work is in high demand once the leaves come down. If you want your gutter cleaning done before winter, it’s worth getting in touch early. You can reach us through our contact page, by phone or on WhatsApp.

No, not when it’s done properly. Damage usually comes from using too much pressure in one spot or holding a lance too close to the surface. We use a twin-jet surface cleaner that spreads the pressure evenly, so you don’t get stripes, etched lines or blown out joints on block paving, concrete or stone.

Different surfaces get different treatment. Older flags and natural stone in Edge Hill’s back yards are softer than modern paving, so we turn the pressure down and let a biocide do more of the work. Delicate surfaces get a lower pressure wash instead, and we always test a small area first if we’re not sure.

Block paving naturally loses some joint sand during a deep clean. That’s why we re-sand afterwards to keep everything stable. If you’d like to know exactly what comes off during a professional wash, our guide on what professional jet washing removes from a patio explains it, and our driveway cleaning page covers our process in more detail.

Quite a lot more than driveways and patios. Alongside our ground level cleaning, we clear gutters, remove roof moss, clean decking, sand and seal block paving, wash brickwork, clean fascias and UPVC, clean wheelie bins and tackle overgrown gardens. If it’s on the outside of your home and it needs cleaning, there’s a good chance we can help.

In Edge Hill, a lot of our work is on the front of the house as well as the ground. Terraces close to busy roads like Edge Lane and Wavertree Road pick up traffic grime on the brick and windows, and our UPVC cleaning brings frames, sills and doors back to a bright finish.

Many customers book two or three services together so it’s all done in one visit. That saves time and means the whole property looks fresh at once rather than in bits. For yards and gardens that have got away from people, our garden restoration clears weeds and overgrowth before we clean the hard surfaces.

Yes, and this is one of the most common jobs we do in Edge Hill. Most of the Victorian terraces round Overbury Street, Spekeland Road and the streets off Wavertree Road have a small front step and a back yard reached through the house or from a back entry. We bring the hoses through or down the entry, so there’s no need for a driveway.

Small yards in L7 get very little direct sun, so they stay damp and go green and slippery, especially in the colder months. We pressure wash the floor, treat any algae or black spot with a biocide, and can also clean the yard walls and steps so the whole space feels lighter.

We’ll need an outside tap or an indoor tap we can connect to, and a spot nearby to park the van. If parking on your street is tricky, let us know before the day. While we’re there, we can give your wheelie bins a proper wash with our bin cleaning service, free with any patio or yard clean.

In most cases, yes. Edge Hill sits beside some of the busiest roads and railway lines in the city, and over the years brickwork picks up a dark layer of traffic film, soot and general grime. On older red brick terraces it can make the whole front look much darker than it really is.

Our brickwork cleaning uses the right cleaning solution for the type of dirt, followed by a careful rinse at a pressure that’s safe for old brick and mortar. We never blast period brick at full power, because it can damage the face of the brick and wash out the joints.

Results depend on how long the staining has been there and what’s caused it, so we’ll always be honest about what we expect before we start. Once the brick is cleaned, tired roofline boards can stand out, so our fascia cleaning is worth adding if the gutters and fascias have gone grey or green.

Yes. With the universities and hospitals close by, Edge Hill has a lot of rented houses and shared homes, and we’re happy to work with landlords, letting agents and tenants. Yards and paths at rented properties often get overlooked, so they can end up mossy, full of weeds and slippery.

We can clean between tenancies, before a new let goes on the market, or as a regular job once or twice a year. A clean yard, clear gutters and fresh bins all help a property look cared for, and it cuts down on complaints about slippery paths or overflowing gutters. Our gutter cleaning is especially useful on terraces where the gutters are hard for tenants to reach.

If you look after several houses in L7 or nearby Fairfield, we can plan them on the same day to keep things simple. Just send us the addresses and a few photos and we’ll work out a quote for each one.

For most Edge Hill homes, once a year keeps things under control. Shaded terraced yards, paths next to busy roads and patios under trees can need doing a bit more often, especially if they get slippery in autumn and winter.

A good sign it’s due is when you start to see green or black patches spreading across the slabs, weeds pushing up through the joints, or a slimy feel underfoot after rain. Leaving it longer doesn’t make the clean impossible, but growth gets deeper into the surface and takes more work to shift.

Treating the surface after cleaning and, on block paving, adding driveway sealing can stretch the time between cleans. For more detail on what affects how often a surface needs doing, have a look at our guide on how often you should jet wash a driveway. If you’re not sure, send us a photo and we’ll give you an honest answer.

Only if they need it. We’ll never push extra work, but if we notice heavy moss on the roof or a slippery deck while we’re on site, we’ll mention it so you can decide. Plenty of Edge Hill terraces have older slate or concrete tile roofs where moss collects on the north side and gets washed into the gutters every time it rains.

Our roof cleaning removes moss by hand and then treats the roof with a biocide. We don’t pressure wash roofs, because that can damage tiles and push water underneath. Clearing the moss also helps keep your gutters running freely for longer.

For homes with a raised deck or timber steps in the yard, our decking cleaning uses a softer wash that’s kind to wood and composite boards. Doing these jobs alongside your patio or yard clean saves a second visit and gets the whole property looking right in one go.
