Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about resin driveways in South Benfleet

Answers covering costs, installation, drainage, and what to expect from resin-bound surfaces on Castle Point clay ground

On Castle Point clay ground, small cracks expand rapidly as moisture seeps in and freezes. A 5mm crack becomes a 50mm gap within two winters, allowing water to undermine the base and cause total surface failure. Early resin overlay saves roughly £3,000 in full excavation costs.

Water pooling on impermeable driveways seeps into garage floors and foundations, causing damp and structural damage. Ignoring drainage problems leads to hydrostatic pressure buildup, cracking walls and requiring £8,000+ foundation repairs. Permeable resin surfaces drain 600mm/hr, eliminating pooling entirely.

Full excavation installations typically cost £60-£90 per square metre including MOT Type 1 sub-base, edging, and resin layer. Resin overlays on stable concrete or tarmac cost £40-£60 per square metre. Site survey provides itemised quote covering all groundwork and materials before work starts.

Yes, if the concrete base is stable, level, and free from major cracks. Installer assesses surface condition during site survey. Anti-crack mesh is laid before resin application to prevent existing cracks telegraphing through. Unstable bases require full excavation and MOT Type 1 sub-base.

Tarmac costs £30-£50 per square metre vs £60-£90 for resin, but tarmac is impermeable and cracks within 5-10 years on clay ground. Resin lasts 15-25 years, drains properly, and needs minimal maintenance. Long-term cost per year favours resin for Castle Point properties.

Full excavation installations take 3-5 days depending on area size and existing base removal. Resin overlays on stable surfaces take 1-2 days. Resin cures in 24 hours for foot traffic, 48 hours for vehicle use. Weather delays installation during heavy rain or freezing temperatures.

Aggregate blends range from natural stone greys and browns to warmer golds and reds. Installer brings samples during site survey to match existing brickwork or property colours. Custom blends mix multiple aggregates for bespoke finishes tailored to South Benfleet homes.
