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.
Any quote we prepare in Exeter says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Drives in Exeter range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
In Exeter we can price work such as turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Exeter
For the South West, where typical costs are above the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Worked example: a 59 m² drive in Exeter laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £2,850–£4,400. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £4,750–£7,600.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Resin bound driveways | £50–£130 per m² |
| New resin driveways (full dig-out) | £80–£130 per m² |
| Driveway extensions and widening | £80–£130 per m² |

Planning in Exeter
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 South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. Laying days in Exeter are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
How it works
