Resin driveway cleaning across Dorset
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.
Too much pressure, or a narrow lance held close, can loosen stones. A rotary cleaner spreads the pressure evenly, and a biocide slows regrowth on shaded areas.
Typical projects we can quote for in Bournemouth include diagnosing loose stones on a drive laid by someone else, repairing oil and fuel damage on a parking bay and treating moss and algae under trees.

Planning in Dorset
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.
Weather and working days
The South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. Laying days in Bournemouth are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
