What resin bonded driveways involve
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.
Any quote we prepare in Canvey Island says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Homes in Canvey Island range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Across Essex, the projects we price include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Canvey Island
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.
General information for England, not legal advice.
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 Canvey Island jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
