Ormskirk, Aughton, Burscough and the surrounding villages — rural, open and prone to heavy moss and lichen growth.

What we help with in West Lancashire

- Moss and lichen on roofs, outbuildings and barn conversions
- Brick and stone elevations on farmhouses and converted buildings
- Gutters and downpipes filling with moss and vegetation debris

How we assess the work
On rural plots the area involved is usually larger than it looks in photographs, so we measure rather than estimate. We also check the water supply, where we can set up, and whether outbuildings are worth including in the same visit while we are on site.
- Driveways and courtyards are priced by measured area, with the surface confirmed before quoting.
- Growth is pre-treated so it is dealt with at the root rather than only stripped off the top.
- Roof moss is removed by hand where the covering allows, then gutters are cleared.
- Brick, stone and rendered elevations are cleaned at the lowest pressure that will do the job.
- Outbuildings and barn conversions can be added to the same visit, which is usually more economical than a separate trip.
What to expect
- Open rural sites stay damp longer, so growth returns sooner than on sheltered suburban plots.
- Weathered stone and old brick will clean up but keep their patina, and should not be forced.
- Cleaning is not repair: loose slates, failed pointing and broken flags need a repair trade.

Why people in West Lancashire get in touch
- A long drive or courtyard has gone green and is now slippery for vehicles and on foot.
- Moss has built up on a roof or outbuilding and is starting to shed into gutters.
- Preparing a rural property for sale, letting or a family event.
- A conversion or extension has finished and the surrounding hard standing is marked.
- Wanting the whole plot — house, outbuildings and drive — brought back in one organised visit.
What affects the quote
Every property is priced on what is actually there. These are the things we look at before giving you a figure in writing.
- The measured area of driveway, courtyard, yard and hard standing.
- The surfaces involved: block paving, flags, setts, concrete, tarmac or gravel margins.
- How much of the property is included — house only, or outbuildings and barns as well.
- Water supply and where equipment can be set up on a large or remote plot.
- The condition of joints, edging and drainage before cleaning starts.
- Whether pre-treatment or re-sanding is needed to make the result last.
DIY or professional cleaning?
Plenty of exterior upkeep is reasonable to do yourself, and doing it regularly genuinely reduces how often you need us. The line is usually drawn by the surface, the height and how far the growth has gone.
Sensible to do yourself
- Keeping gullies, channels and yard drains clear so water is not standing.
- Sweeping courtyards and yard areas to keep surface growth down.
- Cutting back hedging and overhanging growth that keeps a surface permanently wet.
- Topping up joint sand on small sections of block paving.
Better left to us
- Large drives and courtyards, where uneven DIY passes leave permanent banding.
- Roof and outbuilding work, which needs proper access equipment rather than a ladder.
- Old stone and lime-mortared masonry, where too much pressure opens joints.
- Heavy lichen, which needs the right treatment and dwell time rather than more force.
