SureSet: Raising the Standard in Resin Bound Surfacing

When it comes to resin bound surfacing, quality, durability, and customer satisfaction should always be at the forefront. At SureSet, we’ve spent over 25 years perfecting our trade in the resin bound industry, delivering surfaces that not only meet but exceed expectations. With a strong focus on exceptional customer service, our clients trust us for our experience, the superior quality of our products, and our proven track record of longevity. But our dedication to maintaining the highest standards also means we are sometimes called upon to rectify mistakes made by others.

One such instance recently occurred in North West London, where a residential property was left with a substandard resin bound driveway, installed by a competitor. The result? A failed product that the homeowner could not ignore. Thankfully, SureSet was called in to right this wrong, and the outcome speaks volumes about the importance of using a reputable company and top quality materials.

A Case Study: Rectifying a Failed Resin Bound Driveway

In North West London, SureSet was tasked with transforming a driveway that had a failed competitor product. The previous resin surface had shown early signs of degradation and a surface that simply couldn’t hold up to the demands of everyday vehicular traffic. The homeowner was left disappointed, not only in the aesthetics but also in the functionality of the surface and turned to SureSet for a solution they could trust.

To restore the driveway to its intended glory, we used our 6mm Ocean Grey SureSet resin bound product, applied at an 18mm depth, which is our recommended specification for a driveway of this size (165m²) that regularly experiences vehicular use. This depth ensures durability and performance, especially on a base of tarmac, which provides a solid foundation for the resin to adhere to.

Before we could begin the transformation, however, we had to plane off the existing surface, this is crucial in rectifying poor installations, as it allows us to start with a clean slate and ensure the new surface adheres properly without compromising longevity.

The Difference SureSet Makes

There’s a reason our resin bound surfaces are trusted nationwide, and it all comes down to our attention to detail and commitment to quality. For this particular North West London driveway, the choice of Ocean Grey resin offered not just the perfect blend of aesthetic appeal but also the strength required for high-traffic areas. The 6mm aggregate ensures a smooth yet robust finish, while the 18mm depth provides the resilience needed for a long-lasting driveway surface.

At SureSet, we use only the highest quality UV-stable resins, which means our surfaces won’t fade, discolour, or degrade under the sun’s harsh rays. This attention to material quality is often where competitors fall short—choosing cheaper, inferior products can result in quicker deterioration, cracking, and an uneven finish. The driveway we restored in North West London is now a testament to the longevity and performance of SureSet's product, setting it far apart from the previous installation.
