Before and after
Recent tarmac driveway cleaning work in Chorley.


What tarmac driveway cleaning includes
The same considered process on every job, adapted to the tarmac in front of us.
- Initial conversation, then assessment — we talk the job through first and check the tarmac's condition where a visit is needed.
- A clear written quotation — scope, inclusions, exclusions and the expected finish.
- Property protection — planting, borders, drains and garage doors protected before we start.
- Cleaning method suited to tarmac — a rotary surface cleaner at controlled pressure, then hand-lancing along edges and kerblines.
- Edge and weed clearance — growth along kerblines and joints removed as part of the clean.
- No re-sanding — tarmac has no joints to refill, so nothing is added back in afterwards.

Cleaning removes general dirt, moss, algae and surface grime very well — it doesn't restore tarmac to its original black, and it doesn't repair cracking or potholes.
| Surface age | Tarmac oxidises and greys with age. Cleaning lifts dirt but won't bring back the original colour. |
|---|---|
| Oil or fuel staining | Absorbed into the tarmac rather than sitting on top — expect lightening, not full removal. |
| Moss and algae level | Usually the biggest single improvement, especially on shaded drives. |
| Drainage | Standing water softens tarmac edges over time. Cleaning does not change the falls. |
| Cracking or potholes | Cleaning doesn't repair structural damage — we'll flag it, not paper over it. |
| Edge and joint growth | Weeds at kerblines and joints are cleared as part of the visit, not left behind. |

Tarmac is one of the most common driveway surfaces in and around Chorley. We assess the actual condition, drainage and any pre-existing damage in person before anything is quoted, rather than assuming from the kerb.
How it works
A short enquiry, then a conversation with Kieran about the work. Where a site visit is the right next step, we look at access, drainage and condition in person before anything is priced — then you get a clear written quotation, and only pay once the work is finished and you're happy with it.

Will cleaning make my tarmac black again?
It will lift dirt, moss and algae, but tarmac naturally oxidises and greys with age and UV exposure — cleaning doesn't reverse that fading.
What does tarmac driveway cleaning cost in Chorley?
We don't publish prices. Cost depends on the measured area, how much growth there is, and access for hoses and waste water. Send an enquiry and Kieran will talk it through with you.
What do you need from me on the day?
Access to an outside tap, the area clear of vehicles where possible, and somewhere sensible to park. Our equipment is petrol-powered so we don't need your electricity.
Will you fix cracks or potholes?
No — that's a separate repair job. We'll clean around any damage and tell you honestly what we see, but we don't patch tarmac.
How long will it stay clean?
It depends on aspect and drainage more than the clean itself. A shaded, damp drive under trees will green up again within a season; an open, sunny drive can look good for a couple of years.
