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.
Before quoting in Crawley we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Crawley has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
Projects we quote in and around Crawley include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Crawley
For the South East, where typical costs are above the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Worked example: a 26 m² drive in Crawley laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,300–£2,050. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £2,200–£3,500.

Planning in Crawley
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Crawley jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
