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 Colchester we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Colchester has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
In Colchester we can price work such as linking a patio, path and garden room in one blend, laying a cool, pale surround for a garden pool and building a gentle ramp to a back door. More about resin patios.

Planning in Colchester
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 East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Colchester 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.
