Katy meets... Resin Driveways

By Katy O’Regan

For Sarah, opening The Resin Driveway Showroom in Crewe is about far more than launching a new business. It is about creating a welcoming space where homeowners can see, touch and understand the products available before making an important investment in their property.

Based on Market Street in Crewe town centre, the showroom is helping breathe new life into the high street as part of Cheshire East Council’s Repurposing Our High Streets initiative. The scheme supports businesses moving into vacant commercial premises through grants that help cover refurbishment, fit-out and equipment costs. Thanks to this support, Sarah has transformed an empty unit into a modern showroom that not only showcases resin surfaces but also contributes to the wider regeneration of Crewe’s town centre.

The showroom itself offers something unique. Rather than relying solely on brochures or online images, visitors can experience resin-bound surfaces first-hand. From walking on the finished product to exploring a range of colours and textures, customers can gain a real understanding of how a resin driveway could transform their home. Seeing and feeling the product in person helps remove uncertainty and allows homeowners to make informed decisions with confidence.

Sarah’s journey into the industry is built on strong foundations. Her father has spent more than 40 years working within the resin flooring sector, primarily on commercial and industrial projects, providing a wealth of expertise and technical knowledge. Sarah has combined that experience with her own successful background in hospitality and events management, bringing a fresh perspective and exceptional customer service skills to the business.

As a female business owner in a sector traditionally dominated by men, Sarah is proud to be challenging perceptions. She believes professionalism, knowledge and attention to detail are what truly matter and hopes her success encourages other women to explore opportunities within the construction and home improvement industries. Her approach focuses on creating a friendly, approachable environment where customers feel comfortable asking questions and exploring their options.

A key advantage for customers is the company’s exclusive partnership with Vuba Surface, one of the UK’s leading and most recognised resin-bound surfacing brands. Renowned for innovation, quality and durability, Vuba products offer homeowners a premium solution that combines practicality with exceptional kerb appeal.

The Resin Driveway Showroom specialises in permeable resin surfaces, allowing rainwater to drain naturally through the driveway rather than pooling on the surface. The material is UV-resistant, slip-resistant and available in a wide variety of colours and finishes, making it an increasingly popular choice for homeowners seeking a long-lasting and attractive alternative to traditional paving.

Installation is carried out by trained and approved specialists, ensuring every project is completed to the highest standards. Customers can visit the showroom, discuss their ideas, view samples and receive expert guidance throughout the process. Convenient parking is available nearby at Delamere Street Car Park, making it easy for visitors to explore the showroom and its extensive range of resin-bound surface displays.

With extensive industry expertise, an exclusive partnership with Vuba Surface, and a commitment to revitalising both homes and the local high street, Sarah is bringing a fresh, modern and customer-focused approach to resin driveways across Crewe, Cheshire and beyond.
