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 Gillingham we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Drives in Gillingham range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Across Kent, the projects we price include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about resin bonded driveways.

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