What resin patios involve
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.
Before quoting in Durham we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Homes in Durham range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Projects we quote in and around Durham include laying a cool, pale surround for a garden pool, finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings and laying a curving path through a back garden. More about resin patios.
Prices for resin patios in Durham
Prices in the North East are below the UK average. These are guide ranges including VAT; your quote follows a free survey.
As a guide, a 13 m² patio in the DH1 area would be around £600–£950 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £1,000–£1,600 with a dig-out and new permeable base.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Resin patios | £40–£105 per m² |
| Dropped kerb applications | about £1,000–£2,500 per crossing, set by the highway authority |
| Resin garden paths | £45–£125 per m² |

Planning in Durham
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.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The North East has cool winters, so resin is laid in the warmer months or on dry, mild days when ground and air are above about 5°C. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
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.
Resin patios in Durham: questions
Do I need planning permission in Durham?
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.
