FAQs
Why Resin Driveways?
Unmatched Aesthetic Appeal
Our resin driveways are the epitome of elegance. Crafted with attention to detail, they come in a variety of colours and patterns to perfectly complement your home’s exterior. Say goodbye to dull and mundane driveways!
Durability
Resin driveways are designed to withstand the test of time. They are highly resistant to cracks, oil stains, and weathering, ensuring that your investment remains as beautiful as the day it was installed.
Low Maintenance
One of the standout features of resin driveways is their minimal maintenance requirements. With a simple occasional clean, your driveway will retain its glossy finish year after year.
Permeability
Our resin driveways are permeable, allowing rainwater to naturally drain away, reducing the risk of flooding and puddles. This environmentally-friendly feature is a great addition to any property.
Safety
Resin driveways offer excellent grip, reducing the risk of slips and falls, making them a safe choice for your family and guests.
How do you install a Resin Driveway?
While we know that every job is unique, there are some basic principles which we follow because our resin drives quality and standards are second to none.
1. Pre-Installation Preparation
We focus heavily on preparation, as it is key to longevity.
- Site Inspection & Clean: Our team first conducts a final inspection and pre-cleans the existing surface to remove any dirt or debris, ensuring optimal adhesion.
- Drying and Priming: We then thoroughly dry the entire area using professional equipment. Once dry, we apply a high-quality adhesive primer to the surface. This crucial step guarantees a strong, permanent bond between the existing base and the new resin layer.
- Material Delivery: All high-quality, UV-resistant materials are delivered and staged on-site before mixing begins.
2. Expert Mixing (The Resin Bound Process)
To achieve the perfect mixture, we use specialist equipment.
- Precision Mixing: The liquid resin, hardener, and specially graded, dried aggregates (stone) are accurately measured and mixed together.
- Specialist Equipment: This is performed using a high-powered, specialist mixing machine, ensuring a consistent, even mix throughout the batch.
3. Application and Laying
The mixed materials are then quickly and expertly installed.
- Hand Application: The fresh resin mixture is immediately applied directly onto the prepared, primed base.
- Thickness Guarantee: Our skilled installers hand-trowel the material to a minimum depth of 18mm, ensuring maximum durability, strength, and a perfectly smooth, even finish.
4. Curing and Perfection
Once the application is complete, the curing process begins.
- Rapid Curing: The finished result is a highly decorative, durable, and functional surface.
- Ready to Use: You can typically use the area for foot traffic within just 4–5 hours, with vehicle use permitted shortly thereafter, minimising disruption to your routine.
How long does the Resin Driveway installation process take?
The duration of the installation process depends primarily on the size of your area and the amount of preparation required for the existing base.
Typical Timeline:
- 1 to 2 Days for Installation: Most standard domestic driveways can be fully prepared and installed within 1 to 2 days. This includes all necessary cleaning, base preparation (priming), mixing, and final application of the resin system.
- Minimal Disruption: We work efficiently to ensure minimal disruption to your home life, upholding our claim for ‘Quick Installations.’
Curing & Usability:
The installation is only complete once the resin has fully cured:
- Foot Traffic: The new surface is typically ready for foot traffic within 4–5 hours of completion.
- Vehicle Traffic: We recommend allowing a full 24 to 48 hours for the resin to fully cure and achieve maximum strength before driving vehicles onto the driveway.
Our team will always provide you with a clear, bespoke timeline during the free design consultation, so you know exactly what to expect.
How long does a Resin Driveway actually last?
A professionally installed, high-quality resin bound driveway is an excellent long-term investment.
While many traditional surfaces begin to deteriorate within a few years, a Rezitt resin bound system is engineered for longevity. You can typically expect your driveway to perform beautifully for 15 to 25 years or more with minimal maintenance.
Factors that Ensure Longevity:
- 10-Year Guarantee: We demonstrate our confidence in our materials and workmanship by providing a robust 10-year guarantee on all our resin driveways.
- Quality Materials: We only use UV-resistant, BBA Certified resins and durable, graded aggregates. This prevents the material from becoming brittle or fading under sunlight, a common issue with cheaper, lower-quality resins.
- Expert Installation: A poor base or improper mixing is the number one cause of failure. Our professional, trained installers ensure the base preparation, mixing ratios, and application depth (minimum 18mm) are executed perfectly to create a solid, durable structure that stands the test of time.
- When installed by an expert team like Rezitt, a resin driveway offers superior durability and lasting curb appeal compared to many other surfacing options.
Will a new Resin Driveway increase my property value?
Absolutely, installing a high-quality resin bound driveway is one of the most effective ways to boost both the value and saleability of your property.
Why Resin Driveways are a Valuable Investment:
- Exceptional Curb Appeal: The aesthetic impact of a clean, seamless, and well-maintained driveway is significant. It creates an outstanding first impression that buyers instantly register.
- Low Maintenance Promise: Buyers are highly attracted to features that save them time and money. Our resin driveways are low-maintenance and highly durable, translating into a hassle-free selling point.
- Practicality and Safety: Unlike cracked tarmac or loose gravel, a professional resin driveway offers a long-lasting, smooth, and slip-resistant surface, making the property more practical and safer for the new owner.
- Drainage Compliance: Our permeable resin bound systems comply with modern planning regulations by allowing water to drain naturally, eliminating flood risk and simplifying the sale process.
A new, professionally installed resin driveway from Rezitt is often viewed by prospective buyers and property valuers as a significant, high-quality upgrade that adds measurable financial value to your home.
What does being 'BBA Certified' mean for my project?
BBA certification means your project is using materials and systems that meet the highest UK standards for quality, safety, and durability.
The BBA (British Board of Agrément) is the UK’s leading body for providing certification for construction products and systems. When a product or installer is BBA Certified, it means they have successfully passed rigorous, independent testing and assessments.
For your Resin Driveway, BBA Certification assures:
- Verified Performance: The resin system has been tested against UK climate conditions and proven to perform as claimed—guaranteeing longevity, resistance to UV fading, and permeability.
- Independent Quality: Certification is not self-awarded; it’s a stamp of approval from an independent third party, giving you confidence that you are receiving a robust, high-quality installation.
- Trusted Materials: It confirms that the specific materials used—from the resin to the aggregates—are fit for purpose and will provide the performance required for a 10-year guarantee and beyond.
In short, BBA certification offers you the peace of mind that you are investing in a verified, top-tier product and system.
