Question 1

How long does resin bound paving last?

Accepted Answer

A professionally installed resin bound driveway by Black Pearl Paving will typically last 15-25 years depending on usage and maintenance. We provide a comprehensive 10-year guarantee covering structural integrity.

Question 2

What is the cure time for new asphalt?

Accepted Answer

While new asphalt can usually be walked on within a few hours, we strictly advise keeping vehicles off it for 3-5 days. It fully cures and hardens over 6-12 months.

Question 3

Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?

Accepted Answer

If you are using a permeable material like our Resin Bound or porous block paving, you generally do NOT need planning permission under SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) regulations. We handle all compliance checks for you.

Question 4

How completely do you excavate the old surface?

Accepted Answer

Unlike inferior contractors who 'overlay' old surfaces, we completely excavate down to a minimum of 250mm, ensuring a flawless new sub-base foundation that will absolutely never sink or crack.
