Wetherby resin driveway care — LS22
UV yellowing, oil marks and surface film on resin-bound gravel.
Nine in ten Wetherby resin drives we quote were installed post-2015 and are fine underneath — the surface just needs a resin-safe lift.
We work Wetherby and the surrounding LS22 postcodes every week, so a Resin-bound surfacing job here is a scheduled call, not a special trip.
What we use, and why
Neutral biocide and a resin-compatible degreaser only — never solvent-based cleaners or acidic hazers.
How we clean resin-bound surfacing
soft-wash biocide across the full area at working dilution
low-pressure warm-water rinse at fixed distance, fan lance only
hand-work oil marks with a resin-safe degreaser and clean rinse
targeted top-up of the seal coat only where the resin has clearly worn through
What ruins resin-bound surfacing in LS22
- 1high-pressure jetting can pop individual aggregate stones from the matrix
- 2solvent-based cleaners soften the UV resin and cause chalking
- 3hot-water rotary passes fog the surface resin permanently
Defining traits in Wetherby
- seamless finish with no joints or bays
- permeable surface with visible aggregate texture
- clear UV-stable resin binding a natural aggregate blend
- installed as a wearing course over a permeable sub-base
Keeping it right
Sweep the surface monthly, address oil spills within a day, and get a professional inspection every 3–5 years.
When to book
Late spring to early autumn — resin repairs need surface temp above 10°C and 48 hours dry to cure.
Typical use: premium front drives, path connections, school and healthcare walkways, high-end forecourts.

Wetherby Resin-bound surfacing FAQs
- Insured?
- Fully insured, family-run, based in Baildon — certificates on request for Wetherby bookings.
- Do you re-seal resin-bound?
- Only where the resin has clearly worn through in high-traffic areas — full re-seals aren't usually needed on Wetherby drives under 10 years old.
- Weekend availability in LS22?
- Yes if weather aligns — we book to the forecast, not the calendar.
- Will the drive be permeable after cleaning?
- Yes — our method restores permeability rather than blocking it; we clear any silt from the aggregate voids.
- Can you get old oil off resin?
- Yes with a resin-safe degreaser; deep old marks fade rather than disappear — we'd rather set the right expectation.
The right result on a LS22 resin drive is a matte, even surface with no aggregate pops and no oil ghost.
