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 Dover, 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. Dover mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Kent, the projects we price include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Dover
Guide prices for Dover are based on South East rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Worked example: a 68 m² drive in Dover laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £3,450–£5,350. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £5,700–£9,150.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Resin bound driveways | £50–£135 per m² |
| Permeable SuDS driveways | £85–£135 per m² |
| Resin over tarmac and concrete | £50–£80 per m² |

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