At Synthetic Turf Maintenance, we provide expert wet pour rubber cleaning services across Tyne and Wear, helping local authorities, schools, and leisure facilities maintain surfaces that are safe, visually appealing, and built to last.
Wet pour rubber is a popular safety surface in playgrounds, parks, and recreational areas due to its slip resistance and impact-absorbing properties. However, over time, it can accumulate dirt, moss, algae, and debris, especially in Tyne and Wear’s damp and changeable climate.

Outdoor surfaces in high-use urban areas like Sunderland, Newcastle, Gateshead and South Shields are constantly exposed to foot traffic, wet weather, and air pollution. This creates ideal conditions for slippery moss and algae growth, which not only degrade the surface but increase the risk of injuries.
Without routine maintenance, wet pour rubber can become hard, brittle, or cracked, losing its shock-absorbing properties and visual appeal. Our professional cleaning service:
Restores slip resistance and cushioning
Improves hygiene and surface appearance
Prevents costly surface deterioration or failure
Ensures your site meets safety and compliance standards
STM’s cleaning programmes are designed to address these risks, extending the life of your surface while maintaining a safe environment for public use.
We start by clearing surface debris such as leaves, dirt, litter, and twigs. These materials trap moisture and contribute to moss and algae growth, particularly around shaded areas or under trees.
We use specialist low-pressure equipment to clean deep into the rubber pores without damaging the granules. Combined with pH-neutral, non-toxic detergents, this removes embedded dirt and staining, restoring a vibrant, clean surface.
In a climate like Tyne and Wear’s, moss and algae are common. We apply safe, effective anti-fungal treatments to remove existing growth and help prevent regrowth—reducing the risk of slips and injuries.
To maximise safety and performance, we recommend seasonal maintenance that aligns with the North East’s changing conditions:
Spring – Ideal time for deep cleaning and anti-algae treatment
Summer – Brushing and light washing to manage surface hardening
Autumn – Frequent debris removal to avoid moisture build-up
Winter – Preventative cleans to combat surface brittleness and frost damage
This seasonal approach keeps your surface safe, compliant, and in excellent condition all year round.

How often should wet pour rubber be cleaned?
High-use areas should be cleaned every 4–6 weeks, with at least two deep cleans per year recommended.
Can pressure washing damage the surface?
Yes, if done incorrectly. That’s why STM uses low-pressure, surface-safe equipment designed specifically for wet pour rubber.
Do you remove moss and algae?
Yes. We use non-toxic, specialist treatments to eliminate and prevent moss, algae, and mould.
Are your cleaning solutions safe for children and pets?
Absolutely. We only use eco-friendly, child-safe detergents designed for rubber surfacing.
Do you offer one-off cleans or regular maintenance contracts?
We offer both. Whether you need a one-time refresh or a scheduled plan, we tailor our service to suit your needs.
