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.
Before quoting in South Croydon we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Many homes in South Croydon have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In South Croydon we can price work such as replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in South Croydon
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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
