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 Chichester, 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. Homes in Chichester range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Chichester include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Chichester
Labour and material costs in the South East run above the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
As a guide, a 55 m² drive in the PO19 area would be around £2,150–£3,400 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £4,000–£6,150 with a dig-out and new base.

| Resin bound driveways | £50–£135 per m² |
| Resin driveway cleaning | £90–£225 per visit |

Planning in Chichester
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in West Sussex, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
