Questions

How It Works

Will a resin surface hide cracks and dips?

No. A resin finish does not correct a failing base on its own. Surface defects can telegraph through or reappear if the underlying area is not dealt with first. Any cracks or level variation are identified and scoped during the base assessment.

What is checked before work starts?

The specialist checks the base condition, existing levels, drainage falls, and edge restraint options. This confirms whether the surface can take a resin finish directly or needs repair, levelling, or additional sub-base work beforehand.

Is resin paving only suitable for driveways?

No. The same design approach applies to paths, patios, side returns, and front garden areas. Aggregate mix, border style, and drainage planning are adapted to suit the specific area and how it is used.

What happens if I delay fixing a failing base?

A deteriorating base continues to move and crack. Laying a resin finish over it later will cost more because the preparation work grows with the damage. Drainage problems left unaddressed can also undermine the sub-base further, increasing excavation depth and cost.

What is the difference between resin bound and resin bonded?

A resin bound surface mixes aggregate into the resin before laying, it is permeable and SuDS-compliant. A resin bonded surface scatters aggregate onto a resin coat, it is not permeable. The specialist explains which suits your base and drainage situation at survey.
