Resin bonded driveways across Cambridgeshire
A resin bonded driveway is a solid base coated with a layer of resin onto which loose aggregate is scattered. The stones stick to the resin, giving a textured, gravel-like finish that is grippy underfoot. Unlike resin bound, it is not permeable.
Resin bonded is the scatter-coat system. The resin is rolled onto a solid, sound base, the aggregate is broadcast over it until it is fully covered, and once the resin has cured the excess stone is brushed off and reused.
Across Cambridgeshire, the projects we price include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface.
Prices in Cambridgeshire
Labour and material costs in the East of England run above the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Resin bonded driveways: £40–£110 per m².
For a 62 m² drive in Cambridgeshire: about £2,350–£3,700 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £4,350–£6,700 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new base.
Planning in Cambridgeshire
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. Resin bonded is not permeable, so on a front garden it needs to drain to a permeable area within your property.
Permitted development rights apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, and some conservation areas have Article 4 directions that remove them. Listed buildings can need consent if railings or historic walls are affected.
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
