Surface Renewal
Worn concrete or tarmac refreshed without removal. Bonding primer and aggregate skim coat applied over stable bases in Chigwell.
What We Do
Covering surface preparation, bonding primer application, aggregate skim coat, and compatibility assessment for concrete or tarmac bases.
Overlay Application
Bonding primer and 10-15mm aggregate skim coat applied over stable concrete or tarmac.
Surface Compatibility Check
Assessment confirms base is crack-free, stable, and suitable for overlay before work starts.
Why Chigwell Resin Driveways
Most overlay failures happen when installers skip proper surface preparation. Without cleaning, crack repair, and bonding primer, the new layer peels away within months.
Chigwell's winter freeze-thaw cycles exploit any weakness in the existing surface, causing overlay to lift and crack if base repairs are skipped.
Clay-heavy London clay expands when wet, pushing against thin resin layers that aren't bonded properly to a stable base.
Existing concrete or tarmac may look stable but hide cracks or subsidence that will cause overlay to fail prematurely.
Specialist primer creates chemical bond between existing surface and resin layer, preventing peeling even under freeze-thaw stress.
Thin resin layer with 2-6mm aggregate provides renewed surface without adding significant weight to existing base.
