Gum removal
Chewing Gum Removal
Trodden-in chewing gum is a blight on commercial forecourts and busy entrances. We remove it cleanly from resin surfaces with resin-safe methods that lift the gum without marking the surface.
What you get
Gum gone, surface intact
Gum bonds stubbornly and high-footfall areas collect a lot of it. We lift it without the scraping and harsh solvents that damage resin.
Clean lift
Gum is removed cleanly from the surface rather than smeared or part-scraped.
Resin-safe method
We avoid aggressive scraping and solvents that scar or bleach the resin.
Ideal for high footfall
Forecourts, entrances and walkways that accumulate gum are restored to a clean finish.
No surface marks
The removal method protects the surface so you’re not left with patches where gum was.
Even finish
Treated across the affected area so the surface looks uniformly clean.
Commercial scheduling
We can work around opening hours to minimise disruption to a business.

Why choose us
Gum is stubborn — but scraping it off is worse than the gum
The temptation with trodden-in gum is to scrape and solvent it off. On resin, scraping scars the surface and harsh solvents bleach it, so you swap gum spots for damage spots. We use methods that release the gum’s bond and lift it cleanly, leaving the surface unmarked.
Part of our resin driveway cleaning service — see the full range and how it fits together.
High-footfall commercial surfaces accumulate gum faster than anywhere, and it’s the kind of detail that makes a frontage look neglected. Regular removal keeps a business entrance presentable.
We treat the affected area evenly, so you don’t end up with clean gum-free spots dotted across an otherwise grimy surface. Often gum removal pairs naturally with a wider clean.

FAQs

We even out the surrounding area so the cleaned spots blend in rather than standing out.
