Driveway, patio and gutter cleaning Kensington

Yes, Kensington is well within our regular coverage area. We’re a local, family-run exterior cleaning company based in Fazakerley, only a short drive away. We work across both L6 and L7, from Kensington Fields and the terraces off Jubilee Drive to Holt Road, Durning Road, Sheil Road and the houses around Newsham Park.

We also clean in the streets right next door, including Edge Hill and Tuebrook. Because we’re often working in this part of the city, we can usually get to you within a few days of your quote, and sometimes sooner if we have a gap nearby.

We’re open seven days a week from 7am to 7pm. If you work during the week or you’re juggling school runs, a weekend booking might suit you better. Just let us know what fits and we’ll do our best to work around you. We’ll always confirm the day and rough arrival time beforehand, and we’ll send you a message if anything changes on the day.

• L6 and L7 covered
• Often working in nearby streets
• Open 7 days, 7am to 7pm

Yes, and it’s some of the most common work we do in Kensington. A lot of homes here have a small front path and an enclosed back yard rather than a big drive or lawn. Yards tend to stay damp and shaded between high walls, so they turn green quickly and the corners collect leaves, moss and grime.

Our patio and yard cleaning uses a surface cleaner on flat areas for an even finish, and we treat any algae so it dies back properly. We take care around drains, back doors and airbricks, and we rinse everything down at the end so there’s no mess left behind.

If the yard has been left for a while and has weeds, ivy or rubbish built up, our garden restoration can clear it first. Access is usually through the house or a back entry, so let us know which works best and we’ll plan around it.

• Small yards and paths welcome
• Algae treated, not just rinsed
• Access through the house or back entry

Driveways and patios start from £100. The exact price depends on the size of the area and how much moss, algae or staining needs shifting. Many Kensington yards are fairly compact, but some have years of growth to deal with, and that’s what makes the biggest difference to the time a job takes.

The easiest way to get a firm figure is to send us a few photos over WhatsApp. We’ll take 10% off your quote for doing that, and we usually get a no-obligation price back to you the same day. If you’d rather, you can fill in our contact form and we’ll get back to you.

Every driveway or patio clean comes with a free bin clean, which is handy in yards where bins sit in the same corner all year. We’ll always confirm exactly what’s included before we start, so you know where you stand. There are no hidden extras and no pressure to book.

• From £100 for driveways and patios
• 10% off with WhatsApp photos
• Free bin clean included

Yes, we deal with traffic grime on brickwork a lot in this part of Liverpool. Homes on or near busy roads like Edge Lane, Holt Road and Sheil Road pick up a dark film from exhaust fumes and road spray. Over the years it dulls the brick and makes the front of the house look tired, even if the rest of it is in good shape.

Our brickwork cleaning uses lower pressure and suitable cleaning solutions to lift that film without damaging the face of the brick or washing out the mortar. Older terraced brick can be softer than modern brick, so we test a small area first and adjust our approach to suit.

Traffic film settles on window frames and sills too, so many customers add UPVC cleaning while we’re there. Doing the brick and the frames together gives the front of a terraced house a real lift, and it only takes one visit.

• Traffic film lifted gently
• Test patch on older brick
• Frames and sills done on the same visit

Yes, with a gentler approach than we’d use on modern paving. Some older Kensington homes still have natural stone flags in the yard or along the front path, sometimes York stone. These flags have real character, but they can be softer and more uneven than concrete slabs, so they need careful handling.

We use a lower pressure and a suitable treatment to lift moss, algae and black lichen spots, rather than blasting the surface. That protects the face of the stone and avoids washing out the old joints. We’ll check for loose or cracked flags before we start, and let you know if there’s anything that needs repair.

If you’d like to know more about this type of stone, our guide to cleaning and caring for York stone explains how it weathers and how to look after it. Old flags often clean up beautifully, and it’s a shame to replace them when a proper clean brings them back.

• Lower pressure for natural stone
• Lichen treated at the root
• Loose flags pointed out first

They can be, because older terraces often rely on gutters and downpipes working well to keep walls dry. When gutters fill with moss, leaves and grit, water spills over the edge and runs down the brickwork. Over time that can lead to green streaks, damp patches inside and damage to the pointing.

Our gutter cleaning uses a high-reach vacuum from the ground, which is ideal on terraced streets where there isn’t much room for ladders. We clear the whole run, check the downpipes are flowing and let you know if we spot any loose brackets or leaking joints.

While we’re working on the roofline, fascia cleaning can remove the dirt and algae from fascias and soffits. If your neighbours are thinking of having theirs done too, we’re happy to do several houses on the same day. It saves everyone time, and a whole row of clear gutters works better than one.

• Downpipes checked every time
• Neighbours can book on the same day

We can clear them properly and slow down how quickly they come back. Weeds love the joints in Kensington yards and paths because grit, soil and leaves collect there. Once roots get in, they push the paving apart and make the gaps even bigger, so the problem gets worse each year.

Our driveway cleaning clears the joints out and treats the surface so the growth dies back. On block paving, we refill the joints with kiln-dried sand afterwards to firm the blocks up and leave less room for new weeds to settle.

For extra protection, driveway sealing helps bind the joint sand in place and makes it harder for seeds to take root. It isn’t right for every surface, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s worth it on yours before you decide anything. Pulling small weeds as soon as they appear between cleans also makes a big difference, and it’s far easier once the joints have been cleared.

• Sealing to slow regrowth

Yes, and we do it without high pressure. Moss on terraced roofs is common in Kensington, especially on the side that gets less sun. It holds water against the slates or tiles, lifts edges and washes down into the gutters, which is often why gutters keep blocking even after they’ve been cleared.

Our roof cleaning uses hand scraping to remove the moss, then a biocide treatment that kills the remaining spores so it’s slower to come back. Pressure washing a roof can crack slates and force water underneath, so we never do it.

Because terraced roofs are joined, we only work on your section unless your neighbours ask us to do theirs too. We’ll clear the moss that falls into the gutters on the same visit, so you’re not left with a blocked gutter after the roof has been done. We’ll also mention any slipped or broken slates we notice, so you can get them looked at before they cause a leak.

• Hand scraping, no high pressure
• Biocide to slow regrowth
• Gutters cleared afterwards

Yes, we’re happy to help landlords, letting agents and property managers. Kensington has plenty of rented homes, and a clean yard, path and frontage makes a big difference when you’re showing a property to new tenants. It also helps keep on top of slip hazards and blocked gutters between tenancies.

We can work around tenants, collect keys if needed and send before and after photos so you can see the work without visiting. Our bin cleaning is popular with landlords too, as bins left in yards can get very grubby between tenants.

We look after rental homes in nearby Fairfield as well, so if you have a few properties in this part of the city we can often plan them for the same day. Just send us the addresses and a few photos and we’ll price them up. We can also set up regular visits so your properties stay looking their best all year.

• Work around tenants
• Before and after photos sent
• Several properties on one day

Yes, especially if the surface has turned green and slippery. Shaded yards between high walls get very little sun in winter, so algae spreads quickly and the surface can become a real slip risk. Clearing that layer makes the area safer to walk on, particularly for older residents and anyone carrying bins out.

We can clean in most winter weather, though we won’t work in freezing conditions, and sanding or sealing needs a dry spell. Our guide on whether winter is a good time for exterior cleaning explains what works well in the colder months and what’s better saved for spring.

Booking a winter clean can also mean shorter waiting times, as spring is our busiest season. Pairing it with our driveway cleaning and a gutter clear after the leaves drop keeps the outside of your home in good shape until the weather picks up. It’s a simple way to avoid a slippery yard all winter.

• Removes slippery winter algae
• No work in freezing conditions
• Shorter waits than spring
