Why Chigwell Resin Driveways
Many overlay failures start with poor surface preparation — skipping cleaning or ignoring cracks means the overlay won't adhere properly and will peel within months.
Full removal and disposal of concrete or tarmac adds thousands to the project cost and weeks of disruption.
Without proper surface preparation and bonding primer, overlay can peel or crack within the first year.
Theydon Bois's chalky boulder clay can shift under driveways, causing cracks that overlay won't fix.
Bonding primer and 18mm aggregate skim coat applied over cleaned surface — no excavation or removal downtime.
Surface inspection identifies cracks, movement, or drainage issues requiring repair before overlay application.
Who We Help
