Frequently Asked Questions

Your Resin Bound Driveway Installation Questions Answered

Common concerns about foundations, drainage, costs, and planning compliance for Hadleigh properties.

Wrong sub-base causes shifting within months, creating dips and cracks that trap water. Repairing a failed driveway costs £8,000-£12,000 for full excavation and re-laying. Proper MOT Type 1 base compacted to 95% density prevents this, saving thousands in future repairs.

Non-permeable driveways cause water pooling that damages garage floors and foundations. Standing water accelerates freeze-thaw cracking each winter. SUDS-compliant drainage prevents flooding and meets planning regulations, avoiding council enforcement notices.

Excavate to 150-200mm depth, lay MOT Type 1 sub-base compacted to 95%, install drainage layer, then apply 18mm resin bound top layer. Site survey assesses soil conditions first. Proper slope ensures runoff away from property. Curing takes 24-48 hours before vehicle use.

Remove existing surface and excavate to required depth. Lay MOT Type 1 sub-base in layers, compacting each to 95% density. Install drainage membrane if needed. Ensure proper slope for water runoff. Edge with kerbs or restraints before resin application.

Resin costs £50-£80 per m² installed vs £40-£60 for block paving. However, resin eliminates weed growth and joint maintenance required by block paving. Over 10 years, resin saves £500-£800 in maintenance costs, making it cheaper long-term.

Higher upfront cost than tarmac or gravel. Requires proper sub-base preparation—shortcuts cause failure. Curing time means no vehicle use for 24-48 hours. Needs experienced installer—poor mixing or application leads to surface issues. Not suitable for steep slopes without proper edging.

Properly installed resin bound driveways last 15-25 years with minimal maintenance. UV-stable resin resists fading. Permeable surface prevents water damage. Lifespan depends on sub-base quality—MOT Type 1 compacted to 95% ensures decades of use without cracking or shifting.
