Maintaining VUBA Resin Surfaces

Regular cleaning is essential to keeping your VUBA resin-bound surface looking its best—especially with lighter colours, where dirt and debris are more visible. Power washing is highly effective, but always use the lance at a 90-degree angle and maintain a minimum distance of 300mm to avoid disturbing the aggregates.

Oil, Dirt & Debris

Oil spills from fuels or lubricants can quickly seep into the surface. To prevent staining, clean spills immediately using an absorbent material. For more stubborn marks, apply an emulsifying degreaser. Avoid prolonged use of harsh solvents, and consult VUBA for advice on particularly persistent stains.

Weeds, Moss & Lichen

A permeable membrane beneath the surface helps deter weed growth, but occasional weeds may still appear. These can be removed with a jet wash. In shaded or damp areas, moss, lichen, or algae may develop—treat using products approved by the manufacturer for safe and effective removal.

Fruit, Berries & Leaves

Organic matter such as fallen leaves or fruit should be cleared away promptly, as they can cause staining if left in place. For existing stains, use a cleaning solution made from:

1.5 litres of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO)

4.5 litres of water

100ml of a non-oxidising shampoo (e.g., baby shampoo)

Apply the solution evenly, gently scrub with a stiff brush, and rinse thoroughly—ensuring runoff does not damage nearby plants.

Rust & Tyre Marks

Rust stains may originate from metal objects like BBQs, garden furniture, or in rare cases, from pyrite within the aggregate when exposed to moisture. Use a non-acidic rust remover, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Tyre marks can usually be removed with steam cleaning or by scrubbing with hot water and a mild detergent.

Why Choose Resin Bound Aggregates For Your Driveway?

A seamless blend of beauty, strength, and practicality, resin-bound driveways offer a modern alternative to traditional materials like sandstone, limestone, porcelain, or composite decking. Here’s what sets them apart:

Eco-Friendly & Permeable by Design

Resin-bound surfaces are fully permeable, allowing rainwater to drain naturally through the system. As a SuDS-compliant (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) solution, this helps prevent surface water build-up, lowers flood risk, and encourages groundwater recharge—making it a smart, environmentally conscious choice.

Engineered for Longevity

Built to withstand heavy foot and vehicle traffic, resin-bound driveways are highly durable. They resist cracking, frost damage, weed intrusion, and the growth of moss or algae—keeping your surface structurally sound and visually appealing year after year.

Effortlessly Low Maintenance

Thanks to their smooth, non-porous finish, resin-bound driveways are easy to keep clean. Regular sweeping and the occasional power wash are usually all that’s required to maintain their fresh appearance. No sealing, patching, or intensive upkeep needed.

Slip-Resistant & Safe

With natural anti-slip properties, these surfaces remain safe underfoot—even in wet or icy weather. Ideal for families and homes in all climates, resin-bound paving offers extra reassurance when it comes to everyday safety.

Customisable Aesthetic

Choose from a wide array of colours, aggregates, and textures to perfectly complement your home’s style. Whether you're after a striking contemporary look or subtle elegance, resin-bound paving offers design flexibility that enhances curb appeal instantly.

Seamless & Weed-Resistant

The smooth, joint-free finish means no gaps for weeds to take hold and no unsightly cracks. The result is a clean, uniform appearance that requires far less maintenance than traditional paving options.

UV-Stable & Fade-Resistant

Formulated with UV-stable resin, these surfaces are built to retain their colour and vibrancy even after prolonged exposure to sunlight—ensuring your driveway looks as good as new for years to come.

Quick, Hassle-Free Installation

Most resin-bound driveways can be installed and ready to use within 24 to 48 hours. This fast turnaround minimizes disruption and means you can enjoy your newly transformed space almost immediately.

A Smart Long-Term Investment

While the upfront cost may be higher than some alternatives, the extended lifespan, reduced maintenance, and aesthetic benefits of resin-bound driveways deliver exceptional value over time.

The Verdict
Resin-bound aggregates offer a perfect harmony of form and function. With their eco-conscious features, enduring durability, and sleek, contemporary finish, they’re an excellent choice for modern driveways—adding lasting style and value to your home.
