Resin patios across Dorset
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.
Typical projects we can quote for in Bournemouth include laying a curving path through a back garden, finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings and replacing rocking patio slabs with a seamless resin patio.
Prices in Dorset
Labour and material costs in the South West run above the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Resin patios: £50–£130 per m².
For a 18 m² patio in Dorset: about £1,000–£1,550 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £1,650–£2,650 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.
Planning in Dorset
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
The South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
