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 resin job in Leicester starts the same way: we check whether your existing surface is sound enough to overlay or needs digging out, because that decides both the price and how long the surface lasts. Leicester has everything from tight terraced frontages to large suburban drives, so no two quotes look the same.
In Leicester we can price work such as laying a curving path through a back garden, linking a patio, path and garden room in one blend and finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings. More about resin patios.
Prices for resin patios in Leicester
Labour and material costs in the East Midlands run close to the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Worked example: a 19 m² patio in Leicester laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,000–£1,550. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £1,650–£2,600.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Resin patios | £45–£120 per m² |
| Permeable SuDS driveways | £75–£120 per m² |
| Dropped kerb applications | about £1,000–£2,500 per crossing, set by the highway authority |

Planning in Leicester
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 Midlands sits around the UK average for rainfall, with a mix of clay vales and lighter ground that changes what the base needs. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Leicester jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
Resin patios in Leicester: questions
Do I need planning permission in Leicester?
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.
What postcodes do you cover around Leicester?
We cover LE1, LE3, LE4 and LE5 and the surrounding districts, including Oadby and Wigston.
Who approves dropped kerbs in Leicester?
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.
