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.
In Croydon, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. Croydon has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
Across Greater London, the projects we price include linking a patio, path and garden room in one blend, laying a cool, pale surround for a garden pool and finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings. More about resin patios.
Prices for resin patios in Croydon
Labour and material costs in London run well above the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Typical Croydon figures for a 19 m² patio: £1,200–£1,850 over sound tarmac or concrete; £1,950–£3,150 with a dig-out and new permeable base. Both include VAT.

Planning in Croydon
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
London is one of the drier parts of the UK, but heavy summer downpours on small, mostly paved plots are exactly what front-garden drainage rules were written for. 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 Croydon: questions
Do I need planning permission in Croydon?
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.
Who approves dropped kerbs in Croydon?
Dropped kerb consent comes from your council as local highway authority. We help with the application and get your drive ready to meet the new crossing.
Can you match a resin colour I have seen in Croydon?
Often, yes. Tell us where you saw it or show us a photo, and we will bring the closest blends to the survey to compare in daylight.
