Resin bound driveways across the Isle of Wight
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.
Resin bound is the system most people mean when they ask for a resin driveway. The aggregate and resin are weighed, mixed on site in a forced-action mixer, then spread and finished with steel trowels in one continuous pour, so there are no joints for weeds to root in.
Across the Isle of Wight, the projects we price include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive.
Prices in the Isle of Wight
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.
For a 54 m² drive in the Isle of Wight: about £2,700–£4,250 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £4,550–£7,250 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.
Planning in the Isle of Wight
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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
