Tarmac & Resin Driveways In Chelmsford & Across Essex

Resin Driveways In Essex

In Essex we have built up years of experience in resin driveways, including resin patios, resin pathways and modern resin driveways, all of which have been carried out with the precision and expertise for which we’re known.

Choosing a resin bound surface allows you to create a completely bespoke outdoor area that is eye-catching and unique to your property. With more than 40 different natural aggregates, and a variety of colours and patterns to choose from, we are happy to help advise on design and finish, and our quotes are free with no obligation. When it comes to installation we aim to complete within a single day, which isn’t achievable with traditional block paving or other such techniques.

There is no loose stone in resin bound surfaces because the process uses natural aggregate and clear resin, mixed together and hand troweled, giving a precise finish. Resin driveways also make for a very low maintenance surface with great benefits, including being durable and strong, with an anti-slip surface and attractive finish. Resin bound driveways are also popular because of their eco-friendly properties. As they are 100 percent porous, they are self-draining, which is a process that eliminates hazardous surface water. Refresh your property’s entryway with elegant and robust driveway paving in Essex, customised to align with your preferences and boost kerb appeal. If you want to transform your driveway in Essex, our resin driveways paving services offer a stylish and long-lasting solution that will enhance the curb appeal of your property.

When it comes to driveway contractors in Essex, our professional team stands out with their expertise, delivering high-quality installations and exceptional customer service for all your driveway needs.

We can apply a resin surface directly on top of almost any hard surface, including asphalt, tarmac, patio slabs, block paving and concrete, providing that their condition is good. By leaving the existing surface in place, and opting for a resin overlay system, you will save on the costs associated with removing a hard-landscaped surface. So it’s an economic option too.

Resin driveways, paths & patios process

In terms of process, the first thing we would do for you is inspect and repair your existing surface where needed, before power-washing it, removing all the surface dirt and any moss build up, ahead of the transformation of your outdoor space. Bringing the surface up to this condition means that the resin will immediately form a strong bond. If we can’t directly apply on top of your existing surface, we can cover the excavation and groundworks for you. During installation, the aggregate stone is hand-trowelled by one of our highly trained staff to form a strong and smooth finish. When it comes to edging, we offer a number of options and can also advise on things such as manhole covers, which are not a problem. The edging isn’t just reserved for the outside of your resin driveway, it can serve as a divide between any colours and patterns that you choose. All that’s needed to remove any bird droppings or mud is the odd light power-wash to keep your resin driveway looking as smart as the day we lay it. Where wet weather conditions and airborne seeds cause weeds to germinate on the top of the surface, weed killer is also fine to use up to twice a year. The only thing that we would strongly advise against is washing your car when it is parked on your resin bound driveway, as most car cleaning chemicals contain solvents that break down the resin hardener. Experience the transformation of your outdoor spaces with Essex driveways, designed for both longevity and visual appeal.

How we do surface dressing

To explain the process, firstly we prepare the surface ensuring no potholes or loose stones are visible, particularly working on areas where the existing surface has deteriorated over time. Then we cover the surface with an application of hot bitumen liquid tar, followed instantly with either the gold pea shingle – for that lovely natural look and country feel – or grey granite aggregate, which is a popular choice for commercial areas.

We are extremely thorough in our preparation and only use the highest quality tar. We know that, with this approach, your new surface will look great for years to come and we would be delighted to be the ones to install it for you here in Suffolk. From us you will get the most professional and efficient service throughout the job, as well as an end result of the best quality.

Turn your driveway into something special

Many people believe surfaces need to be practical and robust, not attractive and inviting. However, after combing both a modern look and practicality, tarmac driveways can more than handle the heavy duties in which a modern household requires. Excellent customer service and quality of work is a fundamental principle in our business, that is why we’ve decided to provide a 10-year guarantee on all of our tarmac surfaces installations.
