Services
Resin Bound Systems
Resin bound systems create seamless durable surfaces by mixing natural aggregates with UV-resistant resin. Ideal for driveways and pathways, this permeable solution prevents water pooling. Our installations meet SUDS compliance standards for sustainable drainage.
Resin Bonded Systems
Our resin bonded systems apply decorative aggregates over existing surfaces using high-strength adhesive. This cost-effective option transforms patios and walkways into attractive low-maintenance areas while maintaining slip resistance.
Playground Surfacing
Impact-absorbing rubber bark systems meet critical fall height requirements for playgrounds. This shock-absorbent surface eliminates trip hazards from loose chippings while maintaining accessibility for wheelchair users.
Driveway Refurbishment
Driveway refurbishment extends lifespan through surface preparation and resin coating application. Our process restores faded block paving and concrete while adding enhanced anti-slip properties and colour rejuvenation.
Anti Slip Treatments
Anti-slip safety treatments transform slippery surfaces using aggregate-infused resin coatings. Ideal for commercial decking and public walkways, our solutions achieve Pendulum Test Values exceeding 36 for extreme wet weather safety.
