Surface Upgrade
No more puddles or oily stains, a smooth, permeable driveway that drains heavy Rayleigh rain and stays vibrant.
What We Do
Covering tarmac removal or profiling, MOT Type 1 sub-base installation, drainage channel work, and UV-stable resin overlay or full resin-bound layer.
Full tarmac removal, new MOT Type 1 sub-base, drainage channels, and UV-stable resin-bound surfacing.
Profile and prepare sound tarmac, apply bonding primer and UV-stable resin overlay for a seamless finish.
Why Rayleigh Resin Driveways
Wrong base or poor bonding causes resin failures; the pain cards below explain common failures and how correct preparation prevents them.
Warm tarmac can move and telegraph through overlays. If bonds fail, resin cracks and fragments, creating safety and aesthetic issues.
Rayleigh's clay-rich ground holds water. Freeze-thaw cycles push weak bases, causing dips, cracks, and ponding across the surface.
Vehicle oil and impermeable tarmac stop drainage. Pools form near entrances, increasing slip risk and pushing water into garage thresholds.
Resin-bound surfacing specified to drain 600mm per hour using open-graded aggregate and SUDS-compliant bedding to prevent surface pooling.
Excavation and MOT Type 1 sub-base compacted to 95% density stabilises tarmac or new foundation, limiting movement that causes overlay failure.
Who We Help
Typical clients commission conversions to stop pooling, remove oil staining, and add resale value with low-maintenance surfacing.
Rayleigh homeowners facing puddles, oil stains, or faded black tarmac choose permeable resin to stop pooling and improve kerb appeal.
Developers require predictable schedules and SUDS-compliant surfaces that add curb appeal and avoid planning rework in Rochford District builds.
Landlords use UV-stable resin overlays to avoid repeated jet-washing and weed control, keeping lettings attractive and maintenance predictable.
How We Work
A clear three-step process covers assessment, base preparation, and resin installation so outcomes are predictable on clay soils and in wet seasons.
Site survey
A technician inspects tarmac condition, drainage, and subsoil (clay or loam) and records whether overlay or full removal is required.
Base preparation
We excavate where needed, install MOT Type 1 sub-base compacted to 95% density, and fit drainage channels for SUDS compliance.
Resin installation
Apply UV-stable resin with specified aggregate grading; finish includes edge restraints and post-install checks for drainage performance.

UV-stable resin formulations and lightfast aggregates resist fade, maintaining aesthetic value and reducing need for early reseal or replacement.
Specified slip-resistant aggregate graded to BS 7976-2 improves grip when surfaces are wet, lowering slip-and-fall risk for families and visitors.
Site survey and itemised quote list tarmac removal, edge restraint, drainage channels, and resin layer so decisions are cost-transparent.
