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 Guildford, the first step is finding the cause: a moving base, a thin or under-mixed layer, or staining. The fix follows from that. Many homes in Guildford have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Across Surrey, the projects we price include deep-cleaning a resin drive that has gone green in the shade, treating moss and algae under trees and repairing oil and fuel damage on a parking bay. More about resin driveway cleaning.

Planning in Guildford
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 East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Surrey, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
