In this case study, we detail the rapid transformation of an outdated tarmac driveway into a beautiful, durable resin driveway in Hertfordshire. The existing tarmac was well-established but required some repairs to correct levels and ensure proper drainage. Despite these challenges, our team completed the entire project in just two days, delivering a stunning result that significantly enhanced the property’s curb appeal.
Day 1: Preparation and Repairs
Initial Assessment: Upon arrival, our team conducted a thorough assessment of the existing tarmac driveway. We identified areas needing repairs and determined the best approach to ensure a flawless resin installation.
Repairing the Tarmac:
- Level Corrections: We fixed any uneven surfaces to create a smooth, level base. This step is crucial for the integrity and appearance of the new resin surface.
- Drainage Adjustments: Proper drainage is essential to prevent water accumulation and potential damage. We adjusted the slope and installed additional drainage solutions where necessary to ensure efficient water runoff.
Surface Cleaning: To ensure optimal adhesion of the resin, we thoroughly cleaned the tarmac surface. This involved removing dirt, debris, and any loose material, leaving a pristine base ready for the next day’s resin application.
Day 2: Resin Installation
Application of the Resin:
- Primer Application: We started by applying a high-quality primer to the prepared tarmac surface. This primer helps the resin adhere properly, ensuring a long-lasting finish.
- Laying the Resin: Once the primer was set, we mixed and spread the resin evenly across the driveway. Using a trowel, we ensured a smooth and consistent application, carefully working the material to achieve the desired thickness and finish.
Curing and Finishing Touches:
- Curing Time: After the resin was applied, we allowed it to cure. This step is vital for the resin to harden and achieve its durable properties.
- Final Inspection: Once cured, we conducted a final inspection to ensure the quality of the installation. We checked for any imperfections and made minor adjustments to guarantee a flawless result.
Results and Client Satisfaction
