Entrance Step and Threshold Work in Essex

The steps and threshold at your front door are used every single day. They need to be safe, solid, and good looking. At Elite Resin Driveways Ltd, we build and resurface entrance steps and thresholds across Essex. Whether you need new steps built from scratch or existing steps brought back to life, we deliver work you can rely on.

What We Mean by Threshold Work

The threshold is the area right at your front door — the step you stand on while getting your keys out, the landing at the top of the steps, and the transition between the path and the doorway. It is one of the most-used parts of your property and often one of the most neglected.

Over time, thresholds crack, sink, and wear smooth. This is not just unsightly — it can be a trip hazard. We rebuild and resurface thresholds so they are level, safe, and match the rest of your entrance.

New Entrance Steps

If your entrance needs new steps, we build them from concrete and blockwork on solid foundations. We calculate the correct rise and going for each step so they are comfortable and safe to use. Building Regulations have specific requirements for steps, and we follow these carefully.

Once the structure is built, we finish the steps in resin bound aggregate to match your driveway or pathway. The resin bound surface provides a slip-resistant finish that is safe in wet weather. It also looks fantastic — a smooth, clean surface with the same colour and texture as the rest of your frontage.

Resurfacing Existing Steps

If your existing steps are structurally sound but look worn or tired, resurfacing is a great option. We apply a resin bound finish over the existing treads and risers. This transforms the appearance of the steps without the cost of demolition and rebuilding.

We check the steps carefully before recommending resurfacing. The concrete underneath must be solid, with no crumbling, no deep cracks, and no movement. If the steps are not sound, we will tell you honestly and recommend rebuilding instead.

Safety at Your Front Door

Entrance steps and thresholds need to be safe in all conditions. Essex gets plenty of rain, and a wet step by the front door is a slip waiting to happen. Resin bound surfaces have a natural texture that provides grip even when wet. Water drains through rather than sitting on the surface, which also reduces ice forming in winter.

We can add contrasting nosing to step edges so they are easy to see, especially in low light. This is a simple detail that makes a real difference to safety, particularly for older family members or visitors unfamiliar with your steps.

Matching Your Property

We design entrance steps and thresholds to fit your property perfectly. A Victorian home in Chelmsford might suit a traditional brick and resin combination. A modern property in Basildon could look best with clean concrete steps finished in grey aggregate. A detached home in Billericay might call for granite edging with a warm golden resin surface.

Whatever style your home has, we find the right combination of materials and colours to create an entrance that feels like it belongs.

Commercial Entrance Steps

We also build entrance steps for commercial properties across Essex. Office buildings, shops, and restaurants all need safe, attractive steps that handle heavy daily use. We build to commercial standards with materials that cope with high traffic.
