Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Resin Bound Patios

Answers to help you understand costs, installation, and maintenance for Leigh-on-Sea properties.

Cracks widen with freeze-thaw cycles, allowing water to penetrate the sub-base. This causes further settlement and uneven areas, eventually requiring full excavation and replacement costing £3,000-£5,000 more than early resin overlay. Coastal salt air accelerates deterioration in Leigh-on-Sea properties.

Weeds push roots deeper into joints, breaking apart slabs and creating trip hazards. Moss growth makes wet surfaces dangerously slippery, risking falls near doorways. Ignoring the problem leads to costly slab replacement instead of simple resin overlay, with repair costs doubling within two seasons.

Most resin patio installations are permitted development and don't require planning permission. However, properties in conservation areas or listed buildings may need approval. Installers confirm requirements during site survey and advise on permeable surface compliance with local drainage regulations.

Resin overlay on stable concrete slabs typically costs £50-£70 per square metre. Full excavation with new sub-base adds £30-£40 per square metre. Coastal properties may require salt-resistant resin formulations adding £5-£10 per square metre. Site survey provides itemised quote covering all preparation and materials.

Resin overlay on stable slabs costs less than full paving replacement. New block paving runs £60-£90 per square metre including excavation, while resin overlay costs £50-£70 per square metre. Resin also eliminates ongoing weeding and jet washing costs, saving maintenance time and money long-term.

Upfront cost is higher than basic paving. Resin requires stable base preparation or overlay suitability assessment. Colours can fade without UV-stable resin, and cheaper formulations may not resist coastal salt air. Professional installation is essential as DIY kits often fail within months due to improper mixing or base preparation.

Standard resin formulations degrade faster near the Thames Estuary due to salt exposure and high humidity. Salt-resistant polyurethane resin is essential for coastal properties, preventing surface cracking and colour fade. Installers familiar with Leigh-on-Sea conditions specify appropriate resin chemistry during site survey.
