What resin driveway cleaning involves
Resin driveway cleaning removes dirt, moss, algae and organic staining from a resin bound surface using a rotary surface cleaner at a moderate pressure, followed where needed by a biocide treatment. The aim is to clean the pores without damaging the resin.
We start every Durham repair or clean by looking at why the surface has changed, so the work deals with the cause and not just the symptom. Many homes in Durham have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Across County Durham, the projects we price include cutting out and refilling a cracked patch with a matched blend, diagnosing loose stones on a drive laid by someone else and deep-cleaning a resin drive that has gone green in the shade. More about resin driveway cleaning.

Planning in Durham
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Permitted development rights apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, and some conservation areas have Article 4 directions that remove them. Listed buildings can need consent if railings or historic walls are affected.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The North East has cool winters, so resin is laid in the warmer months or on dry, mild days when ground and air are above about 5°C. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
