At Synthetic Turf Maintenance, we offer expert wet pour rubber cleaning services across Durham, helping schools, local councils, nurseries, and recreational facilities maintain surfaces that are clean, safe, and long-lasting.
Wet pour rubber is a widely used surface in playgrounds, parks, and sports areas because of its slip resistance and shock-absorbing properties. But like any outdoor surface, it requires regular cleaning—especially in a region like Durham, where moisture, moss, and leaf build-up are common.

With frequent rainfall and seasonal changes, surfaces in Durham are especially prone to moss, algae, and grime, which can make wet pour rubber slippery and unsafe—particularly in shaded or high-traffic areas.
Without maintenance, the surface can become:
Visibly stained and discoloured
Hardened and cracked, losing its impact absorption
Unsafe due to moss and algae buildup
Costly to repair or replace prematurely
Regular professional cleaning not only restores the appearance but also helps prolong the life of the surface while improving safety and hygiene for users.
We begin by removing leaves, dirt, and other organic matter. This prevents blockages in drainage and reduces the conditions in which moss and algae thrive.
Using specialist low-pressure equipment, we clean the surface without damaging the rubber granules. Combined with rubber-safe, pH-neutral detergents, this lifts stains and restores the surface's original look and texture.
We treat the surface with non-toxic anti-fungal solutions to remove moss, algae and mould, and prevent them from returning—keeping the play area cleaner for longer.
Durham’s moist climate and varying temperatures require a seasonal approach to surface maintenance:
Spring – Clear moss and algae growth after winter
Summer – Manage surface hardening and dirt build-up
Autumn – Remove fallen leaves to protect drainage and prevent moss
Winter – Gentle preventative cleans to reduce frost-related wear
STM can recommend a seasonal cleaning schedule tailored to your site to ensure your surface performs well all year round.
