Footpaths and cycle paths across Essex
Resin footpaths and cycle paths are resin bound surfaces laid on a compacted base for schools, parks, housing estates and public spaces. They give a smooth, permeable, natural-looking route that suits wheelchairs, buggies and bikes.
For shared paths the base and edges do most of the work. A firm, well-drained base and robust edging stop the surface breaking up where mowers and maintenance vehicles cross.
Across Essex, the projects we price include surfacing a car park with marked bays, adding anti-slip resin to an entrance ramp and laying a shared path through a school or park.

Planning in Essex
Commercial and development sites often have planning conditions on surfacing and drainage, including sustainable drainage. We work to the approved drawings and conditions and can supply product details for discharge of conditions.
Weather and working days
The East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Southend-on-Sea jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
Footpaths and cycle paths in Essex: questions
Do I need planning permission in Essex?
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Who approves dropped kerbs in Essex?
Dropped kerb consent comes from your council as local highway authority. We help with the application and get your drive ready to meet the new crossing.
Is the price fixed for Essex jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
