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 Dover says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Many homes in Dover have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Dover include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Dover
Guide prices for Dover are based on South East rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
For a 61 m² drive in Dover: about £2,400–£3,750 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £4,450–£6,850 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new base.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Resin bonded driveways | £40–£110 per m² |
| New resin driveways (full dig-out) | £85–£135 per m² |
| Resin garden paths | £55–£155 per m² |
Based on South East rates. See the full price guide or price your own project.
Planning in Dover
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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
