Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Resin Bound Patios in Hadleigh

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

Cracks widen each winter as freeze-thaw cycles expand ice in joints. Water seeps underneath, destabilising the base and causing more slabs to lift. Within two seasons, you face full patio replacement costing £3,000-£5,000 instead of early overlay at £1,200-£2,000.

Loose slabs create trip hazards, especially for elderly visitors. Moss buildup on wet surfaces causes slips and potential injury claims. Weeds spread roots that lift more slabs, accelerating damage. Early resin overlay prevents these issues and costs 40-60% less than full replacement.

Expect £60-£90 per square metre for full installation including base preparation, or £40-£60 per square metre for overlay on stable concrete. A typical 20m² patio costs £1,200-£1,800 for overlay or £1,800-£2,400 for new installation. Quote includes materials, labour, and edging.

Resin costs £60-£90/m² vs £40-£70/m² for slabs upfront. However, resin eliminates ongoing costs: no weeding, no joint sand replacement, no slab relevelling. Over 10 years, resin saves £500-£800 in maintenance vs traditional paving.

Higher upfront cost than slabs, not suitable for DIY application, requires professional mixing and trowelling. Colours can fade slightly after 10-15 years in direct sun. Surface can be slippery if wrong aggregate used—specify BS 7976-2 compliant slip-resistant aggregate.

Yes, if slabs are stable, level, and crack-free. Installer assesses base condition during site visit. Unstable or badly cracked slabs need removal first. Overlay saves excavation and disposal costs, typically 30-40% cheaper than full installation.
