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 resin job in Folkestone starts the same way: we check whether your existing surface is sound enough to overlay or needs digging out, because that decides both the price and how long the surface lasts. Folkestone mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Typical projects we can quote for in Folkestone include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Folkestone
Guide prices for Folkestone are based on South East rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.

Planning in Folkestone
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
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Laying days in Folkestone are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
