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 Bicester, 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. Homes in Bicester range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
In Bicester we can price work such as widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Bicester
Guide prices for Bicester are based on South East rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
As a guide, a 42 m² drive in the OX6 area would be around £2,100–£3,300 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £3,550–£5,650 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Bicester
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 Oxfordshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
