Maintenance
A pre-winter driveway checklist for Worthing homeowners
Check drainage, debris, defects and product-specific care before winter weather arrives.

Clear and inspect before problems grow
Remove leaves and debris, then check drainage openings and the areas near doors and garages. Look for new movement, loose material or recurring water. A brief inspection after rain often reveals more than a tidy appearance on a dry day.
Choose maintenance appropriate to the finish
Resin bound, block paving and tarmac have different care requirements. Before using de-icing or cleaning products, consult the installed system’s guidance. In Worthing, focus on your own driveway’s shade, planting and drainage rather than assuming every property has the same exposure. Arrange advice on persistent defects before covering them with another surface or strong treatment. If you request a survey, bring photographs and any previous specification or aftercare notes. That helps distinguish a simple maintenance task from a construction or drainage issue.
Your project checklist
- Remove leaves and inspect drainage openings.
- Check winter products against the manufacturer’s advice.
- Record defects and arrange advice for recurring problems.
Should I use the same winter treatment on every surface?
No. Check the guidance for the actual resin, paving or asphalt system before applying products.
