Why Chigwell Resin Driveways
Most driveway failures start below the surface — poor base preparation on chalky clay leads to waterlogging, subsidence, and cracked resin within two seasons.
Cranham's chalky clay and gravel subsoil trap water beneath driveways, causing pooling and frost heave damage during winter.
Village properties face harsh winds that drive rain into poorly sealed edges, undermining sub-base integrity over time.
Freeze-thaw cycles expand trapped moisture in weak bases, causing resin surfaces to crack and lift by the second winter.
Type 1 MOT aggregate compacted in layers prevents subsidence on chalky clay, with geotextile membrane separating soil from stone.
Resin-bound topcoat allows rainwater to pass through to sub-base drainage, preventing pooling even during heavy downpours.
Who We Help
From village bungalows to detached cottages and modern family homes.
Owners of Cranham village bungalows dealing with failed concrete or tarmac driveways on chalky clay soils needing full excavation and permeable replacement.
Cottage owners along Salmon Street and Hall Lane installing first proper driveways where gravel or grass currently sits.
Owners of newer properties in eastern Greater London upgrading builder-grade tarmac to permeable resin for kerb appeal and drainage.
