Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about resin bound patios in Benfleet

Answers to help you decide if resin surfacing is right for your outdoor space.

Cracks widen with every freeze-thaw cycle, allowing water underneath that lifts slabs and creates trip hazards. Ignoring a small crack leads to unstable surfaces requiring full replacement within 2-3 years. Early resin overlay seals cracks and prevents water ingress, saving roughly £800-£1,200 in replacement costs.

Upfront cost is higher than paving slabs (£60-£90/m² vs £40-£60/m²). Installation requires dry weather and proper base preparation. Colours can fade slightly over 10+ years without UV-stable resin. However, minimal maintenance and 15+ year lifespan offset initial investment compared to slab resealing and weed control costs.

Expect £60-£90 per square metre for full installation including base preparation, resin layer, and edging. Overlay on existing stable concrete costs £50-£70/m². A typical 20m² patio runs £1,200-£1,800. Quote includes site survey to assess base condition and itemise all preparation work needed.

No. Paving slabs cost £40-£60/m² installed vs £60-£90/m² for resin. However, slabs require resealing every 2-3 years (£200-£400) and constant weeding. Resin needs only occasional sweeping. Over 15 years, resin saves roughly £600-£1,000 in maintenance vs slabs.

Yes, if slabs are stable, level, and clean. Installer assesses base during site survey, checking for movement or damage. Loose or cracked slabs need removal or stabilisation first. Properly prepared bases accept resin overlay without excavation, saving time and cost vs full replacement.

No. Exposed aggregate texture provides slip resistance meeting BS 7976-2 standards. Unlike smooth slabs that grow moss, resin surfaces drain water through open pores, preventing algae buildup. Slip resistance remains consistent in rain, making surfaces safer for kids and elderly year-round.
