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 Clacton-on-Sea says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Many homes in Clacton-on-Sea have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Clacton-on-Sea include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, 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.

Planning in Clacton-on-Sea
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. Laying days in Clacton-on-Sea are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
