Driveway, patio and gutter cleaning Hunts Cross

Yes, Hunts Cross is well within our regular coverage area. We’re a local, family-run exterior cleaning company working out of Fazakerley, and south Liverpool is a big part of our week. We clean driveways, patios and gutters on Hillfoot Road, Hillfoot Avenue, Woodend Avenue, Mackets Lane and the estates around Hunts Cross Station, as well as the streets heading towards Speke Hall Road.

Because we already have plenty of customers in the surrounding area, we can often slot Hunts Cross jobs in alongside work in Woolton or Halewood. That keeps our travel down and usually means we can get to you within a few days of your quote.

We’re open seven days a week, 7am to 7pm, so if weekdays are tricky we can often look at a weekend slot instead. Just tell us what works for you and we’ll do our best to fit around it. We’ll always confirm the time with you the day before.

• All of L25 covered
• Regular south Liverpool bookings
• Weekend slots often available

Our driveway and patio cleaning starts from £100. The exact price depends on the size of the area, the type of surface and how much moss, algae or staining needs shifting. A small rear patio on a terraced home near the village is a lighter job than a double drive on one of the newer builds, so we price each one individually rather than guessing.

The easiest way to get a firm figure is to send us a couple of photos over WhatsApp. We’ll take 10% off your quote for doing it that way, and we’ll usually get a no-obligation price back to you the same day. If you’d rather not use WhatsApp, you can send us a message through our contact page instead and we’ll get back to you quickly.

Every driveway or patio clean also includes a free bin clean. We’ll always explain what’s included before we start, so there are no extras sprung on you on the day.

• Driveways from £100, patios from £90
• 10% off with WhatsApp photos
• Free bin clean with every job

Usually a same-day quote, and work booked in within a few days. Being local means we don’t keep you waiting for weeks. Photos let us see the surface, the size and the level of growth, so in most cases we can price the job without needing to visit first.

Once you’re happy with the quote, we’ll offer you a date and a rough arrival time. We’ll always turn up when we say we will, and if the weather forces a change we’ll let you know as early as we can and rebook you at the first sensible opportunity. Heavy rain doesn’t always stop us cleaning, but it can affect sanding and sealing, which need a dry surface.

If you’re booking our patio cleaning ahead of a family event or a garden party, tell us the date when you message. We’ll do our best to get it done in good time so the patio is dry and ready to use.

• Quotes from photos, usually same day
• Clear dates and arrival times
• Event deadlines taken into account

Yes, when it’s done properly. Our twin-jet surface cleaner spreads the pressure evenly, so there’s no striping or damage to block paving, concrete or natural stone. Many of the newer drives in Hunts Cross use concrete block paving, which cleans up well but relies on the sand in its joints to stay stable.

That’s why our driveway cleaning doesn’t stop when the surface looks clean. A deep clean washes out old joint sand along with the weeds and moss, so once the blocks are dry we refill the gaps with kiln-dried sand. It locks the blocks together, helps stop them rocking and gives weeds much less room to get going again.

Delicate surfaces, like softer natural stone or older slabs, get a gentler low-pressure soft-wash instead. We always check what we’re working with before we start, and we’ll point out any loose or cracked blocks so you know about them up front.

• Even pressure, no striping
• Joints refilled with kiln-dried sand
• Soft-wash for delicate surfaces

Quite a lot more than just driveways and patios. Alongside driveway, patio and gutter cleaning, we cover roof moss removal, decking cleaning, driveway sealing and sanding, brickwork cleaning, fascia and UPVC cleaning, bin cleaning and full garden restoration. Many Hunts Cross customers book two or three of these together because it saves a second visit.

A popular combination is a driveway clean followed by UPVC cleaning and fascia cleaning. Once the ground is clean, grubby window frames and grey fascias stand out a lot more, so finishing the front of the house in one go gives the best overall result.

If the back garden has got away from you, our garden restoration clears weeds, brambles and overgrowth before we wash the patio. It’s a good option if you’ve just moved in or you’re getting the house ready to sell. Just mention everything you’d like doing when you ask for a quote and we’ll price it all together.

• Book several services in one visit
• Front of house finished in one go
• Garden cleared before the patio clean

We can usually lift a lot of it, and fresh stains come out far better than old ones. Oil and diesel soak into concrete and block paving, especially where cars sit in the same spot every day. Older, baked-in stains may fade rather than disappear completely, and we’ll always be honest about what we expect before we start.

We pre-treat oil marks with a suitable degreaser, give it time to break the oil down, then clean the area with the surface cleaner along with the rest of the drive. Doing it this way avoids blasting one patch harder than the rest, which can leave a lighter spot that stands out just as much as the stain did.

Once the drive is clean, driveway sealing helps stop new oil drips soaking in so deeply. Spills then sit nearer the surface and are much easier to deal with, which is useful on busy family drives where two or three cars come and go every day.

• Degreaser used on oil marks
• Even clean across the whole drive
• Sealing helps resist new stains

Late autumn, once most of the leaves have dropped, is usually the best time. Plenty of Hunts Cross roads have mature trees nearby, and leaves, seeds and twigs collect in gutters over the autumn. If they’re left, they rot down into a heavy sludge that blocks downpipes and can push water over the edge and down your walls.

Our gutter cleaning uses a high-reach vacuum from the ground, so we can clear the whole run without ladders resting on your gutters. We check the downpipes are flowing freely and let you know if we spot any loose brackets or leaking joints.

If you’d like to understand why the timing matters, our guide on why gutter cleaning before winter matters goes through the problems blocked gutters cause in cold, wet weather. Homes right under big trees may benefit from a clean in spring as well. We’ll give you an honest view on how often your gutters really need doing.

• Best done after leaf fall
• Ground-based vacuum clearing
• Downpipes checked every time

Most patios lose moss, algae, weeds, dirt and a lot of staining in one clean. In Hunts Cross we see plenty of patios that have turned green in shaded corners, with weeds growing through the joints and dark patches where plant pots or furniture have stood. A proper clean lifts all of that and brings back the original colour of the stone or slabs.

Black spots are usually lichen, which grips the surface tightly. We treat these with a soft-wash solution that breaks them down at the root, and some will keep fading for a few days after we leave. Rust marks and some deep stains may need a specific treatment, and we’ll tell you honestly if something won’t fully come out.

Our guide on what professional patio jet washing removes explains each type of mark in more detail. It’s worth a read if you’re trying to work out whether your patio needs a clean or something more.

• Moss, algae and weeds lifted
• Lichen treated at the root

Yes, as long as they’re used correctly, and that’s something we take seriously. We only use sodium hypochlorite or biocide where it’s actually needed, and we explain what we’re using before we start. Most of the cleaning is done with water and a surface cleaner, so treatments are kept to the areas that really need them.

We ask that pets are kept indoors while we work and until the area has been rinsed and dried. We rinse nearby plants and lawns with clean water before and after, which dilutes any overspray and protects your borders. If you have prized plants right next to the patio, let us know and we’ll take extra care around them.

The same thinking applies to our roof cleaning, where we use a biocide on the tiles after scraping off the moss. We work carefully around gutters and downpipes so run-off is controlled, and we’re happy to answer any questions before you book.

• Treatments only where needed
• Plants rinsed before and after
• Pets kept in until it’s dry

Yes, and older brick needs a gentler touch than people expect. Homes on the station side of Hunts Cross have been around long enough to pick up years of soot, carbon and green algae, particularly on walls that face the railway or get little sun. Over time it darkens the brick and makes the whole house look tired.

Our brickwork cleaning uses lower pressure and suitable treatments to lift that grime without damaging the face of the brick or washing out the mortar. We test a small area first so you can see the difference before we carry on, and we take care around windows, doors and airbricks.

We clean a lot of similar brickwork in neighbouring Allerton, where many homes are of a similar age. If your boundary walls or garden walls have gone green as well, we can do those on the same visit. It’s a simple way to make the whole property look cared for again.

• Lower pressure for older brick
• Test patch before we start
• Boundary walls done on the same visit
