About this Service
Resin bound steps and staircases in Hockley suit village homes where clay soils and traditional layouts are common. This service addresses slippery treads, moss build-up, and uneven risers by applying a grippy resin-bound aggregate finish with defined nosing.
In clay-rich locations, installers commonly specify excavation to the correct depth and an MOT Type 1 sub-base compacted to 95% density to reduce movement from freeze-thaw cycles. Anti-slip aggregate is selected to meet BS 7976-2 pedestrian testing. Where steps form part of a rural approach, drainage is designed to tie into field or highway gullies while maintaining SUDS compliance for planning.
Practical boundaries: heavily settled or undermined steps may require reprofiling or local underpinning prior to resin work. Curing is weather-dependent; cooler, damp conditions lengthen the window to 48–72 hours. After installation, occasional sweeping and prompt removal of leaf debris prevent moss colonisation and maintain slip resistance.
