Resin bonded driveways across Kent
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.
Across Kent, the projects we price include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden.
Prices in Kent
Guide prices for Kent are based on South East rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Resin bonded driveways: £40–£110 per m².
Typical Kent figures for a 57 m² drive: £2,250–£3,500 over sound tarmac or concrete; £4,150–£6,400 with a dig-out and new base. Both include VAT.
Planning in Kent
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
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Maidstone jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
