Most Allerton semis came with a proper drive, and ninety years on they run the full spread: original concrete, tarmac, newer block paving and gravel pulled about by daily parking. The villa plots near the park add long driveways behind high sandstone walls that sit in shade for most of the day. Leaf fall off the street trees breaks down into a slippery film every autumn, and the joints in older block work lose their sand and fill with moss and weeds.
We wash every Allerton drive with controlled pressure set to suit the surface, so the muck comes off without chewing up concrete and flags that have sat there since the houses were built.
From Prescot we take the M57 south to Tarbock Island, run west on the M62 to the Queens Drive turn-off, then follow Queens Drive down to Menlove Avenue, which brings us into Allerton past Calderstones Park in around 16 minutes.

Yes, Allerton and the L18 postcodes is on our regular patch, about 16 minutes out from our base in Prescot.
There is no set price list, because what you pay comes down to the square metreage, whether it is block paving, concrete, flags or tarmac, and how much weed growth and oil staining has got into it.
Yes, wherever it’s needed. Cleaning washes some of the jointing sand out, so once the drive has dried we brush kiln-dried sand back into the joints. An empty joint is an open invitation to weed seed, so topping the sand up is part of the job, not an extra.
It depends on the surface. On block paving and imprinted concrete a seal helps repel oil and holds the moss off for longer, so the clean lasts. On some surfaces it adds little. It’s optional, and we’ll give you an honest steer when we quote.
