Resin patios across County Down
A resin patio is a resin bound surface laid in a garden for seating and dining areas. Because it is trowelled in one piece, it has no joints for weeds or ants, it can follow curves easily, and it can be laid over sound concrete or old slabs that are solidly bedded.
Patios next to the house need to fall away from the walls and stay below the damp-proof course, so levels at back doors and bifolds are checked on survey.
In Bangor we can price work such as finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings, building a gentle ramp to a back door and linking a patio, path and garden room in one blend.
Prices in County Down
Labour and material costs in Northern Ireland run below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Resin patios: £40–£105 per m².
Typical County Down figures for a 26 m² patio: £1,050–£1,600 over sound tarmac or concrete; £1,700–£2,750 with a dig-out and new permeable base. Both include VAT.
Planning in County Down
Patios, paths and steps in a rear garden are generally permitted development for houses. Listed buildings, flats and raised platforms are the main exceptions, and any part that is in front of the house follows the front-garden drainage rules.
Weather and working days
Northern Ireland has frequent rain spread through the year, so laying days are planned around dry spells and permeable builds make sense. Laying days in Bangor are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.

Resin patios in County Down: questions
Do I need planning permission in County Down?
Northern Ireland has its own permitted development order for houses, with conditions on hard surfaces and drainage: the simplest route is a surface that keeps rainwater within your boundary. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
What postcodes do you cover around County Down?
We cover BT and the surrounding districts, including Bangor and Newtownards.
Can you lay resin in County Down in winter?
On dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, yes. Northern Ireland has frequent rain spread through the year, so laying days are planned around dry spells and permeable builds make sense.
