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 Margate, 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. Many homes in Margate have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Margate include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Margate
For the South East, where typical costs are above the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
As a guide, a 62 m² drive in the CT8 area would be around £2,450–£3,800 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £4,500–£6,950 with a dig-out and new base.

Planning in Margate
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 Margate are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
