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 Purley says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Purley mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.

Projects we quote in and around Purley include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about resin bound driveways.

Prices for resin bound driveways in Purley

Guide prices for Purley are based on London rates, which are well above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.

As a guide, a 41 m² drive in the CR8 area would be around £2,200–£3,450 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £3,700–£5,900 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Purley

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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.

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.
