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 resin job in Brentwood 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. Homes in Brentwood range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Across Essex, the projects we price include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Brentwood
Guide prices for Brentwood are based on East of England rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
For a 52 m² drive in Brentwood: about £2,550–£3,950 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £4,200–£6,750 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Resin bound driveways | £50–£130 per m² |
| Resin over tarmac and concrete | £50–£75 per m² |
| Dropped kerb applications | about £1,000–£2,500 per crossing, set by the highway authority |

Planning in Brentwood
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Brentwood jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
