Looking after your new surface.
General care for each surface we install. Your handover pack gives the specific product guidance for the materials used on your job, and that always takes priority.
Resin bound
- Keep off for the curing time we give you on handover; it varies with temperature.
- Sweep regularly and rinse with a garden hose to keep the pores open.
- Remove oil and fuel spills promptly using the cleaner the manufacturer recommends.
- Avoid sharp turning of steering wheels while stationary on hot days.
- Don't use salt-free de-icers or solvents without checking manufacturer guidance.
Tarmac & asphalt
- Avoid heavy point loads (skips, caravan jacks) while the surface is new; use boards to spread loads.
- Wash off fuel and oil spills, which soften bitumen.
- Keep edges clear of soil build-up so water drains off.
Block paving
- Top up jointing sand as needed, especially in the first months.
- Brush weeds and moss from joints; don't pressure-wash the sand out of the joints.
- Re-level any settled block early before it spreads.
