Resin bound driveways across Hampshire
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.
It is not a cure for a bad base. Resin bound copies whatever is underneath it, so cracks, soft spots and failed edges in the old surface come straight back through. Most of the survey is spent deciding whether the existing tarmac or concrete is good enough to overlay, or whether it needs digging out.
Typical projects we can quote for in Southampton include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts.
Prices in Hampshire
For the South East, where typical costs are above the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Resin bound driveways: £50–£135 per m².
Worked example: a 43 m² drive in Hampshire laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £2,150–£3,350. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £3,600–£5,800.
Planning in Hampshire
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.
Weather and working days
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
