Why Chigwell Resin Driveways
Most driveway failures start below the surface—poor excavation depth, inadequate compaction, or missing drainage leads to settling, cracking, and water pooling within the first winter.
Properties near Epping Forest border face constant leaf debris. Impermeable driveways pool water and organic matter, creating slip hazards and staining.
Buckhurst Hill's sandy loam and forest gravel require 150mm+ MOT Type 1 sub-base, compacted in layers. Skipping this causes dips and cracks.
Water trapped in concrete or tarmac expands when frozen, widening cracks each winter until the surface fails completely.
Excavation to 200mm depth, then MOT Type 1 aggregate compacted in 50mm layers using vibrating plate. Prevents settling on sandy loam soils.
Resin-bound aggregate allows rainwater and leaf runoff to drain through to sub-base, eliminating pooling and meeting SUDS compliance for planning.
