Walkington is a village about three miles south-west of Beverley on the B1230, set on the edge of the Wolds with its pond at the heart of things. For cleaning services Walkington homeowners can book with confidence, A&R Cleaning looks after the glass, the roofline, the floors and the paving of your home.
We are a small, approachable team, and villages around Beverley are some of our favourite places to work. Prices are always free to ask for and come with no strings, and you are welcome to go regular or book just once.
Below, we explain how each of our four services suits Walkington’s homes and setting, so you can decide what would help yours most.
Around the pond, East End and Broadgate
Walkington’s main road, East End, runs past the pubs and through the centre of the village, with quieter streets such as Crake Wells branching off it. All Hallows Church, a Grade II* listed building, anchors the older part of the village, and the hamlet of Broadgate lies to the east. Homes range from older cottages in the historic core to detached and semi-detached houses on the newer roads.
That variety matters when it comes to cleaning, and it is one reason cleaning services Walkington residents choose should be flexible rather than one-size-fits-all. Cottage windows can be small and set deep in thick walls, while modern houses have broad panes and large patio doors. We plan each visit around the home itself, not a fixed checklist.
Hand-finished windows on the Wolds edge
Sitting on the rise towards the Wolds, Walkington catches the breeze coming off the open farmland to the west. Fields there are worked through the year, and dry, windy days can lift a fine chalky dust that settles on windows. Add the hard water common in East Yorkshire and rain drying on glass can leave a cloudy finish.
Our traditional window cleaning tackles this the old-fashioned way. We wet the glass with an applicator, clear it with a hand squeegee and finish the edges and sills with a cloth. Hand cleaning lets us spot and lift every mark, and it is gentle on painted frames and older glazing. Most Walkington households settle into a round every four to eight weeks, though a one-off clean before a special occasion is just as easy to arrange.
Leaves, moss and roofline cleaning
Mature trees line many Walkington gardens and lanes, and in autumn they fill gutters quickly. When a gutter is blocked, water overflows and runs down the wall, leaving stains and sometimes damp patches inside. Our fascia, soffit and gutter cleaning puts that right.
- Leaves, moss and debris are lifted out of the gutters by hand.
- Fascias, soffits and gutter fronts are washed to remove algae and grime.
- Downpipes are checked so rainwater drains away as it should.
White uPVC fascias on newer homes show green streaks clearly, so many customers ask us to wash them at the same time as the windows.
Gutters on older cottages can be trickier, with shorter runs, corners and outbuildings attached. We take the time to clear each section properly, because a single blocked joint can cause an overflow just as easily as a gutter packed end to end.
Carpets after country walks and family life
With the open country around Walkington Wold and Beverley’s Westwood within easy reach, plenty of locals love a good walk. Muddy boots, wet dogs and children’s shoes all leave their mark on hall carpets. A professional carpet cleaning session draws out the dirt that has worked down into the pile, lightens day-to-day spills and gives the room back its fresh feel.
We are happy to clean one room, the stairs and landing, or every carpet in the house. Lounges before the festive season and bedrooms ready for visiting family are popular bookings.
If you have pets, let us know when you get in touch. Favourite sleeping spots and the area by the back door usually need the most attention, and knowing about them helps us plan the visit.
Patios and drives ready for summer
For forty years, until its final run in 2007, the Walkington Hay Ride brought horse-drawn wagons out every June, and summer is still when village gardens come alive. Before you set out the table and chairs, a clean patio makes a huge difference. We use pressure washing to bring tired slabs, block paving and garden paths back to life.
Shaded corners and north-facing paving collect the most growth over winter, so late spring is a good time to book. Clearing the surface also makes it less slippery underfoot.
Tip: book a gutter clear and a patio wash on the same day in spring and the whole outside of your home will look refreshed in one go.

The cleaning services Walkington families use are also available in Beverley just down the road, in Cherry Burton to the north and in Cottingham to the south-east. Wherever you are in HU17, we would love to help.
