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 Christchurch we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Christchurch mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Christchurch we can price work such as laying a curving path through a back garden, laying a cool, pale surround for a garden pool and replacing rocking patio slabs with a seamless resin patio. More about resin patios.
Prices for resin patios in Christchurch
Guide prices for Christchurch are based on South West rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Typical Christchurch figures for a 12 m² patio: £650–£1,050 over sound tarmac or concrete; £1,100–£1,750 with a dig-out and new permeable base. Both include VAT.

Planning in Christchurch
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 South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Christchurch jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
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.
Resin patios in Christchurch: questions
Can you lay resin in Christchurch in winter?
On dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, yes. The South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive.
How much is a resin patio in Christchurch?
As a guide, £50–£130 per m² in Christchurch including VAT, depending mainly on whether your existing base can be overlaid. Your written quote follows a free survey.
Do I need planning permission in Christchurch?
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.
