The performance of any surface is determined by the work beneath it.

In many failed installations the visible surface is not the problem — the failure originates from poor ground preparation, weak base construction or inadequate drainage.

Hinchliffe Surfacing approaches every installation as a structural system built from the ground up.

Controlled Excavation

Existing surfaces and unsuitable ground conditions are removed to allow proper base construction.

Excavation depths are determined by ground conditions, loading requirements and the chosen surface system.

Structural Base Construction

Engineered base layers are installed to provide structural stability and load distribution.

For resin installations this may include VubaMac base construction, creating a monolithic base system designed for durability and long-term performance.

Drainage Integration

Correct drainage is essential for long-term surface performance.

Drainage channels, falls and permeable systems are integrated during base construction to manage water effectively and protect the surface structure.

Professional Surface Installation

Once the structural groundwork is complete, the selected surface system is installed using professional surfacing techniques and specialist equipment.
