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.
For resin surfaces already down in Chelmsford, the first step is finding the cause: a moving base, a thin or under-mixed layer, or staining. The fix follows from that. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Chelmsford, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
Projects we quote in and around Chelmsford include restoring a tired, patchy resin drive, cutting out and refilling a cracked patch with a matched blend and treating moss and algae under trees. More about resin driveway cleaning.

Planning in Chelmsford
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 East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. Laying days in Chelmsford are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
