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 resin job in Tonbridge starts the same way: we check whether your existing surface is sound enough to overlay or needs digging out, because that decides both the price and how long the surface lasts. Many homes in Tonbridge have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Tonbridge include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Tonbridge
Guide prices for Tonbridge are based on South East rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
As a guide, a 36 m² drive in the TN9 area would be around £1,400–£2,200 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £2,600–£4,050 with a dig-out and new base.

Planning in Tonbridge
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.
