Tarmac to Resin Conversion in Chigwell, Essex

Common Challenges

• Tarmac cracking and potholing from freeze-thaw cycles

  Chigwell's freeze-thaw cycles cause tarmac to crack and break up, creating trip hazards and water pooling that worsens each winter.

• Uncertain whether resin adheres to existing tarmac

  Concern that resin won't bond properly to tarmac or will peel, requiring costly removal and replacement within months.

• Clay-heavy London clay causing tarmac subsidence

  Clay soil beneath tarmac shifts during wet weather, creating dips and cracks that standard resurfacing doesn't address.

How We Help

• Permeable Surface Handling 300mm/hr Rainfall

  Resin-bound aggregate drains water through the surface at 300mm per hour, preventing pooling during Chigwell's high winter rainfall.

• Overlay Saving £20-30 per m² vs Removal

  Applying resin over stable tarmac avoids removal costs, saving roughly £20-30 per square metre compared to full replacement.

• Scarification Creating Mechanical Bond

  Surface scarification roughens tarmac to 5mm depth, creating mechanical key for primer coat that prevents peeling.

• 15-20 Year Lifespan with Minimal Upkeep

  Resin-bound surface lasts 15-20 years with occasional sweeping, versus tarmac requiring resealing every 3-5 years.
