Resin bound driveways across Leicestershire
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.
It is not a cure for a bad base. Resin bound copies whatever is underneath it, so cracks, soft spots and failed edges in the old surface come straight back through. Most of the survey is spent deciding whether the existing tarmac or concrete is good enough to overlay, or whether it needs digging out.
Across Leicestershire, the projects we price include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put.
Prices in Leicestershire
Prices in the East Midlands are close to the UK average. These are guide ranges including VAT; your quote follows a free survey.
Resin bound driveways: £45–£120 per m².
Typical Leicestershire figures for a 57 m² drive: £2,550–£4,000 over sound tarmac or concrete; £4,300–£6,850 with a dig-out and new permeable base. Both include VAT.
Planning in Leicestershire
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 East Midlands sits around the UK average for rainfall, with a mix of clay vales and lighter ground that changes what the base needs. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
