Why Chigwell Resin Driveways
Resin applied over unstable tarmac peels within months. Proper assessment identifies whether overlay or removal is needed, preventing costly rework.
Freeze-thaw cycles expand cracks in aging tarmac, creating potholes that collect water and accelerate breakdown across the surface.
Loughton's clay soil holds water beneath non-permeable tarmac, creating soft spots that crack under vehicle weight during wet seasons.
Tree canopy shelter keeps tarmac damp, encouraging moss growth that creates slippery patches and undermines surface integrity.
Resin-bound aggregate drains at 600mm per hour, channeling rainwater through to sub-base instead of pooling on surface like tarmac.
Mechanical scarification roughens tarmac surface creating 3-5mm texture for bonding primer to grip, preventing resin layer from peeling.
