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.
In Sandown, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. In and around Sandown, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across the Isle of Wight, the projects we price include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Sandown
For the South East, where typical costs are above the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Worked example: a 24 m² drive in Sandown laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,100–£1,700. The same area with a dig-out and new base would be nearer £2,000–£3,100.

Planning in Sandown
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 South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Laying days in Sandown are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
