What resin steps involve
Resin steps are concrete or masonry steps finished with resin bound on the treads and, where wanted, the risers. A contrasting nosing on each step edge makes them easier to see and protects the resin from chipping.
Any quote we prepare in Colchester says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Drives in Colchester range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Across Essex, the projects we price include linking a patio, path and garden room in one blend, finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings and replacing rocking patio slabs with a seamless resin patio. More about resin steps.

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. Laying days in Colchester are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
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 steps in Colchester: questions
Do I need planning permission in Colchester?
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.
Can you lay resin in Colchester in winter?
On dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, yes. 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.
