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.
In Surbiton, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. Surbiton mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Surbiton we can price work such as building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Surbiton
Labour and material costs in London run well above the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.

Planning in Surbiton
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Surbiton jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
