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 Rochester 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. Many homes in Rochester have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Across Kent, the projects we price include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Rochester
Prices in the South East are above the UK average. These are guide ranges including VAT; your quote follows a free survey.
As a guide, a 38 m² drive in the ME1 area would be around £1,900–£3,000 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £3,200–£5,100 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Rochester
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
