Can your driveway transform your home exterior?

Kerb Appeal
One of the things that always puts me off when I view houses, or even just have a Rightmove snoop, is a tired looking exterior. I always think, that’s something I’ll either never get round to doing or, it’ll be a really big project. But that’s before I knew about resin driveways as most of the time these can be laid over existing surfaces so there’s no need for digging up your old driveway and having to hire a skip or spend your weekends at the tip. Of course sometimes there’ll be excavation needed, especially if you have flagstones or paving as a resin driveway can’t be laid on top of these but a good local resin driveway company like Yorkshire Resin will be able to let you know more about your particular project.
Low Maintenance Revamp
Transform your old grubby home exteriors into a fresh and modern entrance for your home with a low maintenance resin driveway. No, I’d never heard if it either but I’ve definitely seen them and thought that they looked really smart. It’s all about knowing what things are called and what to search for when buying a house and renovating or decorating but when you’re a first or second time buyer and new to renovating your home it can be tricky to know where to start. As you can see, this method doesn’t just have to stop at your driveway, you can take it all the way up to your front door with exterior steps and create a really striking look.
The Lowdown
So, how does it work? Once your existing driveway is cleaned and repaired (if necessary), it’s primed with a resin primer which protects the surface and ensures maximum adhesion to the existing surface. You would have already chosen from over 30 colours for your driveway from bright white to shiny black and everything in between – you can even create your own if there isn’t a finish in the wide range to suit your particular tastes. You’ll end up with a lovely smooth and hard wearing driveway which is ideal for children, the older generation and anyone with mobility issues as the finish is anti-slip. It’ll be ready in no time too as you can walk on in within 6 hours and drive onto it within 24 hours.
AD – Poundland Riverside Retail Park
Recently I headed to check out the brand new Poundland store (actually their largest ever store, can you believe?) in Nottingham’s Riverside Retail Park. This is the largest Pep&Co fashion and homes departments in the country with loads of brands like Russell Hobbs, Rimmel, Lenor, Cadburys, you name it – they got it!
There’s also a meal deal, PoundBakery and ‘To Go’ area at front with a Costa Express, perfect for jumping off the ring road for some purse-friendly snacks on a road trip. Or, if you’re shopping around the retail park at Boots, B&Q and the other essential places there’s fresh and frozen food aisles, the classic snack sections from Poundland and beer, wine and spirits.
The Pep&Co fashion section is great for families on a budget and had a tonne of stuff for the whole family. There’s styled mannequins in store so that you can get lots of outfit inspiration – this is a first for a Poundland or Pep&Co store. They had some very cute, easy to wear trend led piece like shackets and big collared tops.
