Why Chigwell Resin Driveways
Tarmac driveways crack, pothole, and pool water when the base fails. Conversion to resin requires proper assessment—overlay works on stable tarmac, but compromised bases need removal to prevent future failure.
Heavy clay moisture in Gidea Park traps water under tarmac, accelerating cracking and potholing each winter.
Small cracks widen with freeze-thaw cycles, letting water penetrate and break up the tarmac base underneath.
Concern that resin won't bond properly to tarmac or will peel if the existing surface isn't prepared correctly.
Resin-bound surface drains at 600mm per hour, eliminating water pooling that tarmac traps on clay ground.
Surface scarification creates mechanical key for bonding primer, preventing resin from peeling or delaminating over time.
