Why Chigwell Resin Driveways
Tarmac driveways crack, pothole, and break up over time. Applying resin without proper preparation leads to peeling, delamination, and wasted money within months.
Abridge's clay-heavy soil shifts under tarmac, creating cracks and potholes that worsen each winter freeze-thaw cycle.
Non-permeable tarmac traps surface water, leading to standing puddles and accelerated surface breakdown around Albyns Lane.
Concern that resin won't adhere properly to aging tarmac or will peel within months without proper scarification and primer.
Resin-bound surface allows water to drain through to gravelly loam sub-base, preventing pooling and freeze damage in rural frost pockets.
Stable tarmac receives scarification and bonding primer before resin application, avoiding £30-40/m² tarmac removal and disposal costs.
