What resin bound driveways involve
A resin bound driveway is a surface of natural stone aggregate mixed with clear polyurethane resin and trowelled by hand to a depth of around 18 mm on driveways. Every stone is fully coated, so the finish is smooth, has no loose gravel, and lets rainwater drain straight through it.
In Cambridge, 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. Cambridge has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
Typical projects we can quote for in Cambridge include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Cambridge
For the East of England, where typical costs are above the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
For a 37 m² drive in Cambridge: about £1,800–£2,800 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £3,000–£4,800 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Cambridge
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. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
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 East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
