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 Ilford says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Ilford has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
Projects we quote in and around Ilford include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Ilford
Labour and material costs in London run well above the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
As a guide, a 66 m² drive in the E18 area would be around £2,750–£4,350 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £5,150–£7,900 with a dig-out and new base.

Planning in Ilford
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
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
