Why Chigwell Resin Driveways
When tarmac is cracking or potholing, conversion to resin offers a modern alternative. But overlay only works if the base is sound — poor preparation leads to peeling and failure within months.
Potholes and surface cracks worsen each winter, letting water underneath and accelerating damage
Clay expansion during wet autumns pushes tarmac up, creating uneven patches and drainage problems
Concern that resin overlay will peel or crack if tarmac isn't properly prepared with scarification
Surface scarification creates mechanical key for bonding primer, allowing resin to adhere without full tarmac removal
Resin-bound aggregate drains at 600 litres per square metre per minute, preventing pooling during heavy rain
