Whether you’re replacing an old, tired driveway or installing a completely new surface, our professional resin driveway solutions deliver exceptional results that stand the test of time.
Why Choose Resin Bound Driveways?
Resin bound driveways have become increasingly popular among homeowners for several compelling reasons:
Exceptional Durability
Resin bound surfaces are incredibly durable and can withstand heavy vehicle use without cracking, rutting or sinking. Unlike traditional surfacing options, a properly installed resin driveway maintains its appearance and structural integrity for 15-25 years with minimal maintenance required.
Permeable and SUDS Compliant
One of the most significant advantages of resin driveways is their permeability. These surfaces allow water to drain through naturally, reducing puddles and surface water. This permeable quality makes resin driveways fully compliant with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) regulations, helping to prevent flooding and reduce environmental impact.
Stunning Aesthetics
Resin driveways offer unparalleled visual appeal. The smooth, seamless finish creates a sophisticated look that complements any property style, from traditional to contemporary. With a vast range of colours and aggregate options available, you can customise your resin driveway to perfectly match your home’s exterior.
Low Maintenance Requirements
Unlike block paving that can develop weeds between joints or tarmac that can crack and fade, resin driveways require minimal upkeep. A simple pressure wash a few times per year is typically all that’s needed to keep your resin surface looking pristine.
Rapid Installation
Most resin driveway installations can be completed within just a few days, causing minimal disruption to your daily routine. Once cured, the surface becomes usable quickly, allowing you to enjoy your new driveway almost immediately.
Complete Resin Driveway Installation Services
Our comprehensive resin driveway installation process ensures exceptional results that last for years to come:
1. Initial Consultation and Design
Resin bound surfaces are incredibly durable and can withstand heavy vehicle use without cracking, rutting or sinking. Unlike traditional surfacing options, a properly installed resin driveway maintains its appearance and structural integrity for 15-25 years with minimal maintenance required.
2. Ground Preparation
Proper ground preparation is crucial for a long-lasting resin driveway. Our professional team will assess your existing surface and either prepare it for overlay or excavate to create a completely new sub-base, depending on the condition of your current driveway.
3. Edging Installation
We install robust edging to contain the resin bound surface and provide a clean, defined boundary between your driveway and surrounding areas.
4. Sub-base Preparation
For new installations, we lay a solid sub-base of MOT Type 1 limestone, which is then compacted to create a stable foundation for your resin driveway.
5. Resin Bound Installation
Our specialists mix premium resin with your chosen aggregates before applying the mixture to create a smooth, seamless surface. We ensure precise depth control and thorough compaction to maximise durability.
6. Curing and Completion
After installation, the resin driveway requires a short curing period. Once complete, you’ll have a stunning, durable surface that enhances your property’s appearance and functionality.

Comparing Resin Driveways to Traditional Options
When considering a new driveway, it’s important to understand how resin compares to traditional surfacing materials:
Resin vs. Tarmac
While tarmac offers an economical option, it lacks the aesthetic appeal and permeability of resin. Tarmac driveways often soften in hot weather, are prone to cracking in freezing conditions, and can fade significantly over time. Resin driveways maintain their appearance regardless of weather conditions and offer superior longevity.
Resin vs. Concrete
Traditional concrete driveways are prone to cracking and staining, requiring regular sealing and maintenance. Resin driveways resist cracking, provide better slip resistance, and offer significantly more aesthetic options than plain concrete.
Resin vs. Block Paving
Block paving provides a traditional look but often suffers from weed growth between blocks and settlement over time. Resin driveways deliver a seamless surface without joints where weeds can grow, while still offering the visual appeal of natural stone aggregates.
SUDS Compliant Resin Driveways
Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) have become increasingly important in modern construction and property improvement. Our resin driveways fully comply with these regulations, offering significant environmental benefits:
Superior Drainage Solutions
The permeable nature of resin bound surfaces allows rainwater to drain naturally through the driveway rather than running off into storm drains. This helps to reduce the risk of local flooding and eases the burden on municipal drainage systems.
Groundwater Replenishment
By allowing water to permeate through to the ground below, resin driveways help to replenish natural groundwater levels, supporting local ecosystems and maintaining environmental balance.
Reduced Pollution Transport
The filtering effect of a permeable resin driveway helps to reduce the transport of pollutants into water systems, contributing to cleaner waterways and healthier environments.
Complete Outdoor Surfacing Solutions
In addition to resin driveways, we offer a comprehensive range of outdoor surfacing options:
Resin Bound Patios
Create a seamless transition from your driveway to patio with our matching resin bound patio surfaces. These provide the same benefits of durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic appeal as our driveways, creating cohesive outdoor spaces.
Decorative Landscaping
Our landscaping services complement your new resin driveway with thoughtfully designed planting, lawns, and decorative elements that enhance your property’s overall appearance.
Block Paving Options
For those who prefer traditional block paving for certain areas, we provide expert installation using premium materials that coordinate beautifully with resin surfaces.
Comprehensive Exterior Design
We can develop a complete exterior design plan that incorporates various surfacing options, including resin driveways, patios, pathways, and complementary landscaping features.

Frequently Asked Questions About Resin Driveways
How long will a resin driveway last?
With proper installation and minimal maintenance, a resin driveway typically lasts between 15-25 years. The longevity depends on several factors including usage levels, the quality of installation, and the materials used. Our high-quality resin and installation techniques ensure maximum durability for your investment.
Are resin driveways suitable for all properties?
Resin driveways are remarkably versatile and suitable for most properties. However, the condition of your existing surface or the ground beneath needs careful assessment. Our specialists will evaluate your property’s specific conditions and advise on the best approach for your situation. In most cases, we can install resin driveways on properties of any age or style.
How do resin driveways compare to block paving in terms of cost?
While the initial investment for a resin driveway may be slightly higher than standard block paving, the long-term value is exceptional. Resin driveways require minimal maintenance compared to block paving, which often needs regular attention to prevent weed growth and settle shifting blocks. When considering lifetime costs including maintenance, resin driveways typically offer better value for money.
Do resin driveways need any maintenance?
Resin driveways are low maintenance but benefit from occasional care. We recommend a pressure wash two to three times per year to remove dirt and maintain the surface’s appearance. Unlike other surfaces, resin driveways don’t require sealing, don’t develop weeds between joints, and resist staining from oil or fuel spills, making them exceptionally easy to maintain.
Can resin be laid over my existing driveway?
In many cases, resin can be installed over existing concrete or tarmac driveways if they’re in good structural condition. This overlay approach can reduce installation time and costs. However, if your current driveway shows signs of significant damage, cracking, or drainage issues, we may recommend removing it first to ensure the longevity of your new resin surface. Our team will assess your existing driveway and provide expert advice.
