Resin bound driveways across East Sussex
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.
It is not a cure for a bad base. Resin bound copies whatever is underneath it, so cracks, soft spots and failed edges in the old surface come straight back through. Most of the survey is spent deciding whether the existing tarmac or concrete is good enough to overlay, or whether it needs digging out.
Across East Sussex, the projects we price include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts.
Prices in East Sussex
Guide prices for East Sussex are based on South East rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Resin bound driveways: £50–£135 per m².
As a guide, a 47 m² drive in the TN area would be around £2,350–£3,700 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £3,950–£6,300 with a dig-out and new permeable base.
Planning in East Sussex
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.
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.
