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.
Before quoting in Catford we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Catford mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around Catford include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Catford
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
London is one of the drier parts of the UK, but heavy summer downpours on small, mostly paved plots are exactly what front-garden drainage rules were written for. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.

You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
