About this Service
Ingatestone homeowners replacing worn or sinking block paving with resin gain a low‑maintenance, permeable surface suited to village cottages and period homes. The service is appropriate where blocks are loose, weeds reappear through joints, or drainage issues threaten thresholds. A resin-bound finish removes joints, prevents stone movement and improves surface drainage for properties on clay subsoil and damp sites.
The project starts with removal of existing paving and a base inspection. Ingatestone’s clay subsoil and winter frost mean installers look for saturated layers and sub-base movement; where found the base is excavated and rebuilt with compacted Type 1 MOT or a structural concrete slab to provide a uniform, load-bearing surface for resin-bonding. Resin is applied over stable concrete, tarmac or properly compacted Type 1; it will not adhere to loose or contaminated bases, so base repair is a common quoted item. Waste clearance and reinstatement of boundaries are typically included when specified.
Expect a quote that lists ground preparation, materials and waste disposal. Installation timing depends on base condition and weather; with a sound base the surfacing stage is brief, but full excavation and sub-base construction extend the schedule and cost.
