Those cracked concrete drives dotting Thornton Heath's Victorian terraces deserve better. Resin bound surfacing brings contemporary elegance to CR7 properties whilst solving drainage headaches that plague South London's clay soil.
Response within 24 hours
Thornton Heath homeowners face unique challenges with traditional paving materials. Heavy London buses rumbling down the High Street create vibrations that crack tarmac, whilst our notorious clay expands and contracts with the seasons. Resin bound surfaces flex naturally with ground movement, creating a seamless finish that withstands everything from delivery vans to the school run. Properties from Brigstock Road's Edwardian semis to modern developments near Bensham Manor benefit from this weatherproof solution.
Installation begins by assessing your existing surface - many CR7 drives simply need minor repairs before the resin application. A primer bonds to concrete, tarmac or even existing block paving, followed by a 15-18mm layer of UV-stable resin mixed with natural aggregates. The permeable structure allows 850 litres of water per square metre to drain through hourly, preventing those puddles that plague Thornton Heath during autumn downpours. Each mix gets trowelled by hand, ensuring proper compaction around manholes, edges and any quirky angles typical of converted Victorian front gardens.
Living in Thornton Heath since 2008, our team understands how local planning considerations affect driveway projects. CR7's position between conservation areas means balancing modern materials with neighbourhood character matters.

Absolutely - from Thornton Heath Pond across to Grangewood Park, including all residential roads throughout CR7. Regular projects span Parchmore Road, Melfort Road and the quieter streets behind the recreation ground.
Light foot traffic resumes after 4-6 hours in good weather. Cars can return to the driveway within 24 hours, though full chemical cure takes 5-7 days depending on temperature.
Every CR7 installation includes decade-long coverage against UV fading, surface delamination and aggregate loss. This warranty transfers to new owners, protecting your property investment through London's variable weather patterns.
Fresh oil spills clean easily with warm soapy water if tackled quickly. Established stains may need specialist resin-safe degreasers, but the non-porous surface prevents deep penetration unlike traditional tarmac or concrete.
