The Cost Of A Resin Driveway In Torquay: Factors To Consider
What influences the cost of your resin driveway in Torquay?
In Torquay, resin driveways have become a very popular choice. The durable and visually stunning product is slowly appearing in every single neighbourhood, estate, main road, etc. With that being said, we think it's important to share certain factors regarding costs that can influence the overall price for your driveway. With these factors in mind, you can easily make a conscious decision.
1. The Size Of The Driveway
The size of your driveway is by far the most important factor to consider. As you would expect, larger drives require more materials, more manpower, more time, and higher costs. Usually, we are happy to throw in a special offer for customers with large driveways.
2. The Preparation Work
The current state of your driveway will also have a big impact on the total cost, because it will determine the amount of preparation work that is required. If the surface is currently uneven, cracked, or made of grass/gravel, etc., we must create a new base, which naturally adds to the price. However, if you have a tarmac or concrete driveway in good knick, you will essentially be getting one of our driveways for half price, because the existing surface could be used as the base.
3. The Choice Of Blend
The choice you make regarding colour and design can have an impact on the price, as well. In normal time, all colour blends and designs are the same price, but we sometimes have clearance offers, because resin can go out of date. In this case, we offer a clearance discount to any customers who are interested. For the design side, you might choose to have block borders, or a two-tone border, or shapes stencilled into the drive, which can all slightly increase the cost.
4. Drainage Systems
Although resin driveways are permeable, some driveways still require additional drainage systems. For example, if your driveway is on a big hill, leading down to your home, it might be advisable to add drainage. The cost is not substantial for this type of work, but it must be considered.
5. Professional Installation
The person or company you choose for your resin driveway can impact the overall cost. Of course, with national companies, the overheads are very big, which naturally raises their prices. With local one-man-bands, they are often not qualified and/or experienced enough with resin to guarantee a long-lasting and perfect installation. The best fit is usually a local company, who provides a guarantee, has lots of previous work in the area, good reviews, etc. It can be tempting to opt for the cheaper alternative here, but you would deeply regret it a few years down the line.
To finish, the cost of a resin driveway in Torquay relies on a few vital factors: size, preparation work, colour and design, drainage systems, and the installer(s). With these elements in mind, you have a good idea of where to find high-quality, reasonably priced resin driveways that fit your budget and personal necessities.
