Drive to success
When exterior specialist Resin Drives
found the next customer on its order book
was property developer and Channel 4
TV celebrity, Sarah Beeny, the staff were
thrilled. Not only had Sarah identified that
“Resin is definitely the perfect drive finish’,
but she had chosen Resin Drives with
their ten-years of experience as the best
company for the job at her own home.
The original surface was a mix and match
tired drive and pathway in a combination of
gravel, tarmac and block paving. It looked
tired and keeping it tidy and combating
weeds breaking through was a constant
challenge. Sarah wanted a new driveway
which would be easy to maintain and
smart to look at; providing that instant
first impression ‘kerb appeal’ which is so
important.
The successful pioneers in developing this
functional, attractive, safer and surprisingly
environmentally friendly surface for drives,
patios and pathways, Resin Drives was
the natural choice and the team were not
fazed by what might otherwise have been a
challenging project.
No planning permission is required for
resurfacing with Resin Drives, so the
hardest part, with a choice of 40 colours,
was choosing the optimum look.
Natural aggregate stone is mixed with
resin, a synthetic organic polymer liquid
that solidifies when it dries. Sarah observed
“It has the massive advantage of being a
bit like a little black dress. You can dress it
up glitzy glam if you want a real Hollywood
look or it can blend perfectly with a rural
setting.” She opted for a rich golden brown
shade.
Sarah’s home in south west London, in had
a sizeable 600 metre drive which meant
that four fitters were put onto the job, each
able to surface around 200 metres a day.
Application is a relentless operation for the
fitters on site, as realistically there is only
a 15 minute window before it becomes too
viscous to spread with a trowel.
It’s definitely a job for an experienced crew,
particularly when there is a large area to
cover.
Sarah was delighted with the result and
is happy to recommend Resin Drives to
others, saying “They arrived when they said
they would, gave us a clear time schedule
for the work and were finished early,”
she says. “All the fitters were polite and
charming and properly cleaned up after
themselves. They did a beautiful job and
were complete perfectionists.”
