What We Do
Resin Driveways Services
From new installations and overlays to repairs and permeable paving, we cover the full range of resin surfacing work.
Block Paving Removal & Resin Replacement
Leaving block paving in place to save money risks surface failure if the base beneath has moved or drainage falls are wrong. A specialist lifts and removes the blocks, inspects the sub-base, rebuilds and compacts it to the correct depth and falls, then lays the resin bound finish on a stable, level base.
Custom Resin Paving Design
Design choices for resin paving, aggregate colour blends, border strips, edging profiles, and finish texture, are confirmed after the base condition and drainage falls are assessed. Choosing a finish before the base is checked risks selecting an option the existing surface cannot support without additional preparation work.
Driveway Resurfacing
Where the existing base is stable and drainage falls are correct, a resin bound overlay avoids the cost and disruption of a full dig-out. A specialist checks the sub-base condition and carries out crack and patch repairs before any resin is laid, so the overlay bonds correctly and meets Building Regulations surface water drainage requirements.
New Build Driveway Installation
A new build plot starts with unknown ground conditions and no existing base to assess. A specialist surveys the ground, checks drainage requirements, and confirms whether a soakaway or channel drainage is needed before any surface is laid. Permeable resin bound surfacing avoids planning permission for most front garden installations under current UK rules.
Permeable Paving Installation
Permeable paving works through a layered system: porous blocks or pavers sit over open joint gaps, a compacted crushed stone sub-base, and a geotextile membrane that filters water without blocking flow. Each layer is specified to suit the ground conditions, so the system drains correctly rather than simply delaying runoff.
Resin Bound Driveway Installation
A correctly installed resin bound driveway starts with a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base, set edge restraints, and confirmed drainage falls before any resin is mixed. The UV-stable polyurethane binder and aggregate are trowelled to a permeable finish that meets SuDS requirements, so most front garden installations in England need no planning permission.
Resin Bound Paths & Walkways
Resin bound aggregate is mixed with UV-stable polyurethane binder and trowelled to a textured, permeable finish that drains rainwater through rather than pooling it. Edge setting and border trim are especially important on narrower paths and side passages, where neat join lines are visible from the street.
Resin Bound Patios
Resin bound aggregate is mixed with UV-stable polyurethane resin and trowelled over a compacted sub-base, creating a smooth, permeable finish that drains rainwater through rather than pooling it. The weed-resistant surface needs no jointing sand and is easier to keep clean than paving slabs or gravel.
Resin Bound Steps & Staircases
Resin bound surfacing is applied to step treads and risers using shuttering to hold the aggregate and resin mix in place while it cures. The textured, non-slip finish is bonded directly to the concrete base after surface preparation and priming, giving a consistent finish that can match an adjacent resin bound driveway or path.
Resin Driveway Repair & Restoration
Resin driveway repairs start with a surface and base inspection to identify whether cracking, loose aggregate, or pooling water has a base-level cause. Fixing the surface without addressing the underlying fault means the same damage returns. The specialist matches the repair method, patch repair, resin reapplication, or drainage correction, to what the inspection finds.
Resin Driveways
Resin bound surfacing uses UV-stable polyurethane resin mixed with natural aggregate, trowelled over a prepared MOT Type 1 sub-base. The permeable finish is SuDS compliant, so most front driveway installations in England do not require planning permission.
Resin Overlay on Existing Surfaces
A resin overlay avoids full excavation when the existing concrete or patio base is structurally sound, level, and draining correctly. The specialist inspects the base, fills cracks and expansion joints, applies a polymer primer for adhesion, then lays the resin bound aggregate finish, keeping disruption low without compromising how long the surface holds.
Tarmac to Resin Driveway Conversion
Converting a tarmac driveway to resin bound surfacing avoids full excavation when the existing base is stable and draining correctly. A specialist inspects the tarmac for cracking, movement, and drainage falls, carries out patch repairs, applies a priming layer, then lays the resin bound aggregate finish over the prepared surface.
