Question 1

Do you install resin over concrete, and will water sit underneath?

Accepted Answer

If you have a non-porous base such as concrete, water will pass through the resin surface and follow the natural fall of the ground. If an area is known to hold water, we may recommend installing drainage to ensure proper water flow.

Question 2

Do you have any special offers?

Accepted Answer

Please contact our team directly to discuss any current offers or seasonal promotions.

Question 3

Do you only carry out residential work?

Accepted Answer

No, we carry out both residential and commercial resin installations. From small business car parks to larger public areas, we have the experience to handle commercial-scale projects across Yorkshire.

Question 4

What does your 15-year guarantee cover?

Accepted Answer

Our guarantee covers workmanship and installation quality on full dig-out resin driveways, ensuring long-term performance when installed under correct conditions.

Question 5

How long will my resin driveway last?

Accepted Answer

When installed correctly and maintained properly, resin driveways are designed to last for many years while maintaining strength and appearance. A properly prepared sub-base is the key factor in long-term performance.

Question 6

Do you still need drainage if resin is permeable?

Accepted Answer

Resin is permeable, but in some cases additional drainage may still be required depending on site conditions and water flow. We assess this at the free site survey and include any drainage in the quotation.

Question 7

How long before we can use the driveway?

Accepted Answer

Typically, resin bound surfaces are walkable after 4–6 hours and ready for vehicle use after 24–48 hours. Exact curing times depend on temperature and conditions at the time of installation.

Question 8

What preparation work is required?

Accepted Answer

Preparation depends on the site but may include excavation, sub-base installation, edging, drainage, and surface cleaning. We handle all groundwork as part of our full turnkey service.

Question 12

How and when do I pay?

Accepted Answer

No deposit is required before work begins. A 50% payment is taken once excavation is complete and all spoil has been removed from site. The remaining balance is only due upon completion — once you are completely satisfied with the finished work.

Question 13

What areas do you cover?

We cover Yorkshire and surrounding areas including Leeds, Harrogate, York, Wetherby, Skipton, Ilkley, Otley, Guiseley, Rawdon, Horsforth, Bramhope, Adel, Addingham, Ripon, Wakefield, North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, and more.

Question 14

Can resin be installed over existing surfaces?

Accepted Answer

Yes, resin can be installed over suitable existing surfaces such as concrete or tarmac, depending on condition. We assess the existing surface at the free site visit and advise whether an overlay is appropriate or a full dig-out is recommended.

Question 15

What is the difference between resin bound and resin bonded?

Accepted Answer

Resin bound is fully permeable and provides a smooth, trowelled finish where aggregate is mixed into the resin before application. Resin bonded is not permeable — resin is applied to the surface and stone is scattered on top, leaving a looser, grittier texture. We install resin bound only, as it offers superior performance and longevity.
