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 quote we prepare in Tunbridge Wells says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Homes in Tunbridge Wells range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Tunbridge Wells include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Tunbridge Wells
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Kent, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
