Surface Upgrade
Cracking tarmac upgraded to permeable resin surface — no pooling, no potholes, just smooth drainage that lasts.
What We Do
Covering tarmac condition assessment, surface scarification, crack filling, bonding primer application, and resin-bound overlay with permeable aggregate.
Tarmac Prep & Scarification
Surface scarified to 5mm depth, cracks filled, and primer applied for resin bond
Resin Overlay Installation
Permeable resin-bound aggregate applied over prepared tarmac with 24-hour cure
Why Chigwell Resin Driveways
Most tarmac conversions fail because installers skip proper surface preparation. Without scarification and primer, resin peels within months, leaving you with a worse surface than you started with.
Chigwell's freeze-thaw cycles cause tarmac to crack and break up, creating trip hazards and water pooling that worsens each winter.
Concern that resin won't bond properly to tarmac or will peel, requiring costly removal and replacement within months.
Clay soil beneath tarmac shifts during wet weather, creating dips and cracks that standard resurfacing doesn't address.
Resin-bound aggregate drains water through the surface at 300mm per hour, preventing pooling during Chigwell's high winter rainfall.
Applying resin over stable tarmac avoids removal costs, saving roughly £20-30 per square metre compared to full replacement.

How We Work
From tarmac assessment to permeable surface installation.
Tarmac Condition Assessment
Installer inspects tarmac for cracks, potholes, and subsidence to determine whether overlay or removal is needed.
Surface Scarification & Primer
Tarmac is scarified to 5mm depth, cracks filled, and bonding primer applied to create mechanical key for resin.
Resin-Bound Overlay Install
Permeable resin-bound aggregate applied over prepared tarmac, troweled smooth, and left to cure for 24 hours.

Surface scarification roughens tarmac to 5mm depth, creating mechanical key for primer coat that prevents peeling.
Resin-bound surface lasts 15-20 years with occasional sweeping, versus tarmac requiring resealing every 3-5 years.
