Resin bonded driveways across Greater London
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.
The finish looks like a gravel drive but behaves more like a sealed surface. It has excellent grip, which is why it is used on ramps, steep drives and the approaches to junctions, but it is impermeable, so water has to be managed with falls and drainage.
In Bexley we can price work such as replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put.
Prices in Greater London
Guide prices for Greater London are based on London rates, which are well above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Resin bonded driveways: £40–£120 per m².
Typical Greater London figures for a 39 m² drive: £1,650–£2,550 over sound tarmac or concrete; £3,050–£4,700 with a dig-out and new base. Both include VAT.
Planning in Greater London
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
London is one of the drier parts of the UK, but heavy summer downpours on small, mostly paved plots are exactly what front-garden drainage rules were written for. Laying days in Bexley are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
