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.
Any quote we prepare in Brighton says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Brighton has everything from tight terraced frontages to large suburban drives, so no two quotes look the same.
Projects we quote in and around Brighton include finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings, laying a curving path through a back garden and linking a patio, path and garden room in one blend. More about resin patios.

Planning in Brighton
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 East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
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 Brighton: questions
Do I need planning permission in Brighton?
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.
How much is a resin patio in Brighton?
As a guide, £50–£135 per m² in Brighton including VAT, depending mainly on whether your existing base can be overlaid. Your written quote follows a free survey.
Is the price fixed for Brighton jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
