Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about resin driveways in Leigh-on-Sea

Answers covering coastal challenges, costs, and installation requirements for Essex properties.

In Leigh's coastal climate, salt air accelerates crack expansion. A 5mm crack allows water penetration, causing freeze-thaw damage that widens gaps to 20mm+ within one winter. Hydrostatic pressure then destabilises the sub-base, requiring full excavation costing £3,000-£5,000 more than early resin overlay at £40-£60 per m².

Standing water from poor drainage seeps into garage floors and foundations, causing damp and structural movement. Coastal properties face accelerated damage from high water tables. Delayed action means repair costs escalate from £2,000 for permeable overlay to £8,000+ for foundation underpinning and full driveway replacement.

Salt air accelerates UV degradation and surface pitting on standard resin. UV-stable formulations with salt resistance maintain colour and integrity for 15+ years, while non-resistant resin fades to grey and develops surface cracks within 3-5 years near the Thames Estuary.

Yes, if the concrete base is stable, level, and free from major cracks. Installers assess base condition during site survey, apply anti-crack mesh if needed, then overlay 18-20mm resin-bound layer. Unstable bases require full excavation to prevent future cracking.

Full excavation installations cost £60-£90 per m² including MOT Type 1 sub-base, edging, and resin layer. Resin overlays on stable concrete cost £40-£60 per m². Coastal properties may require salt-resistant resin adding £5-£10 per m². Site survey provides itemised quote covering all groundwork and materials.

Victorian terraces in Old Leigh often have restricted vehicle access requiring compact excavation equipment and hand-mixed resin batches. Installers assess access during site survey and adjust methods accordingly. Narrow lanes may add 10-15% to labour costs but don't prevent installation.

Tarmac costs £30-£50 per m² initially but requires resealing every 2-3 years at £10-£15 per m². Resin costs £60-£90 per m² upfront but needs only occasional sweeping for 15+ years. Over 10 years, resin saves £500-£1,000 on a typical 50m² driveway while providing better drainage and UV resistance.
