Resurfacing a retail frontage

Retail Forecourts and Shop Frontages

A forecourt is the most walked-on surface a retail business owns, and the most visible. Uneven slabs and patched tarmac read as neglect before a customer reaches the door.

Trip hazards are also a liability issue in a high-footfall setting.

Surface performance

Seamless resin-bound gives a smooth, trip-free, wheel-friendly surface with no joints to lift, and it handles trolleys, pushchairs and delivery traffic well.

Slip resistance and consistent falls matter where footfall is constant and the surface is regularly wet.

Access and compliance

Level thresholds, defined crossing points and tactile considerations at level changes support accessible use.

Drainage must keep water clear of entrances rather than channelling it toward them.

Minimising disruption

Forecourt works are phased so the entrance stays open, with temporary routing and safe segregation from customers.

Out-of-hours and overnight working is possible where the site allows.

Frequently asked questions

How long until we can use it?

Resin-bound typically needs a curing period before traffic; we programme phases around it.

Can you keep the shop open?

Yes, by phasing the works and maintaining a safe access route.

Forecourt looking tired?

We resurface commercial frontages with minimal disruption.
