Estate & executive homes FAQs — driveways in Ilkley
Do you seal heritage stone?+
Only where it makes sense. Colour-safe breathable sealers are used on request; we'll walk the surface with you before recommending.
How is the invoice broken down?+
Every surface is itemised — driveway, terrace, courtyard, paths — so the land agent sees exactly what was treated.
Do you work outside Ilkley on nearby estates?+
Yes — we cover estates across LS29 and the surrounding villages, on the same careful method.
Will you use a rotary head on our hand-cut Ilkley stone?+
Not on heritage surfaces. We soft-wash or hand-scrub original flags — rotary heads are reserved for modern block paving.
Can the crew work discreetly around housekeeping?+
Yes — quiet arrival, uniformed but unbranded on request, and we coordinate with your house team on timing.
