About us

  

For 20 years national companies have been at the forefront of Dorset’s home improvements industry. This has meant the Dorset way of life has been missed.

Therefore, Dorset Showhomes was formed to counter the poor reputation that has developed in the area.
Above all else, we have made a commitment to quality and genuine customer care and is very much the heart of our customer promise.
As a result we have established a reputation for the superiority of our products and services.
Since then we have grown as a company, consequently we now have a showroom in Dorset and our commitments remain the same; providing homeowners with quality and value so that every customer has a great experience and will return to us time and time again.

We class ourselves as Experts when it comes to laying resin, because that’s the main thing we do. At the time of writing we have laid over 250 driveways in Dorset in the last 18 months. We only use High Definition UV resistant resin and we have exclusivity on this resin! We offer a 10 year insurance backed guarantee. We are recognised by Checkatrade and WHICH? Trusted Traders as being the BEST at what we do. We hold an accredited Deposit Protection Scheme, Public Liability Insurance to ten million pounds and we take absolute pride in everything we do. 


We are registered in England And Wales under company number 10501683. Our registered office is: 12a Albnay Road, The Granby Industrial Estate, Weymouth, Dorset, DT49TH

Frequently asked questions

Do I need planning permission?

No! All of our products are SUDs (Sustainable Urban Drainage System) compliant. So, the UK Government says: "You will not need planning permission if a new or replacement driveway of any size uses permeable or porous surfacing."

What exactly is a "resin driveway?"

The "resin" refers to an epoxy-like substance that bonds together fine coloured aggregates, creating a beautiful and long lasting finish with almost unlimited colour and design possibilities.

Will my new driveway ever fade or change colour?

No. We only use UV-resistant and High Definition resin ensuring your driveway will look brand new forever!

There’s a local builder who offers resin-bound surfacing and he’s cheaper than you, why is this?

Well, the short-and-sweet answer is you get what you pay for! We class ourselves as experts - specialists, not generalists! No other company can offer the same package that we do, which is why we have laid over 300 driveways in 18 months. We aren't 'giving it a go', we truly are masters of our craft!

What are the benefits of Resin over tarmac of block paving?

Resin is anti-slip, SUDs compliant, anti-weed, anti-crack and anti-flood. And let's be honest, it looks a lot better for a similar price!

What if I have an issue after installation?

Call us and we will fix it!  Where we cannot resolve any complaints using our own complaints procedure, as a Which? Trusted trader we use Dispute Resolution Ombudsman for dispute resolution. In the unlikely event of a complaint arising and you wish to refer the complaint to them please contact 0117 981 2929 or via their websitehttp://www.disputeresolutionombudsman.org/which-trusted-traders-partnership/
