“How We Work”

NO OBLIGATION QUOTE & SURVEY

We will come out to see you and do a on site survey and advise you on your option’s and discuss what you would like to achieve.

We would go through all the factors such as block edgings, drainage, how we would integrate your manholes etc..

We will also bring samples for you to look at the different colours.

Then send you a written no obligation quotation & step by step guide of the work to be carried out just to make things clearer for you.

We know it’s a sizeable investment you would be making and appreciate you may need sometime to make an informed decision and you might want to get quotation’s from other companies which is understandable, all we would advise is that you do your research before you choose.

WELCOME PACK

Once the price has been agreed we will give you a welcome pack containing everything that’s been agreed upon.

We will take pictures of the area, do a more in-depth survey to ensure we have exact measurements. We would finalise what colour resin you would like also any edging, key Kurbs etc..

Depending on what work you are having done we will let you know how many days the work will take to complete  and also what we would require from yourselves,  IE: Water supply / Electricity.

OUR OVERLAY SYSTEM (subject to suitable surface)

When using our overlay system one of the main factors is the preparation, when done correctly it can work out more cost effective for a resin bound driveway. ( depending on size). Other companies do not always work to the manufacture’s Specifications that leads to an inferior installation,(do your research) we pride ourselves in making sure all our teams work within the manufacturing guide lines.

So firstly we would prepare any steps, edgings, manholes, repair any holes etc…

When you have any cracks in the concrete what we would do is make them wider, infill them with resin to strengthen the surface, so when the final layer of resin is laid this will create a concealed drainage system leading the water away.

Put in any expansion joints if required.

Then make sure all the surface is cleaned thoroughly  from all debris and weeds, we would use a high powered jet wash to remove this. We would also apply a pet friendly weed killer to the whole area.

If the surface  is concrete a primer will be applied before the resin is laid , however it is not required for a tarmac surface.

After all the preparation is completed we lay the resin bound overlay system at 18-22mm.

EXCAVATION AND GROUNDWORKS

On arrival the team manager will introduce themselves for conformation of works and will walk around with you just to make sure all plans are clear.

On dig outs & excavations – the work can take up to 3-7 days on average to get it to the stage it’s ready to accept UVR resin bound system. Just depending on the size and complexity of the project it could take longer.

Once the area has been excavated to the required depth, it would be replaced with type 3 open graded hardcore at approx 150mm topped with 20mm tarmac binder base coat at 100-125mm. We would replace any manholes, place edgings, walls, fencing etc..

When all the preparation is completed it’s ready for the for the UVR resin bound system to be laid of 18-22mm depth. On a resin overlay system project this can take anything from 1-3 days on average to get the existing surface ready to except the URV resin bound system.

All the site debis will be removed, cleaned and washed.

LAYING THE RESIN

The first thing the team leader would do is confirm your chosen colour .They would then set the specialised mixer up. The resin mixture has to be prepared in the correct quantities, the resin mix is then applied over the prepared area continuously from start to finish to ensure a seamless finish, as the resin is laid we would add a crushed quartz which sets into the curing  surface giving it a anti-slip surface.

The area is then cornered off to set and not to be walked onto for  4-6 hours , full cure takes approximately 24-36 hours to allow for vehicle traffic.

JOB FINISHED

Once your job is completed we will make sure the whole area is clean & free from any rubbish/debris.

The site team leader will have a walk around with you to make sure you are happy with everything.

Once your account has been settled we will date and sign activating your 10 year guarantee. This will be sent along with the invoice, recommendation vouchers & the aftercare pack. Leaving you to enjoy your new beautiful UVR Resin Surface.
