Resin Driveways
Resin Bound Specialist Driveways - Durham
Why Choose a Resin Bound Driveway?
Resin bound driveways combine a stone aggregate with a UV-stable resin binder to create a smooth, durable, low-maintenance surface with no loose stones. They're fully permeable, so water drains through into the ground rather than pooling on the surface - reducing the risk of flooding and, in many cases, meaning no separate drainage system is required. The surface resists weeds, oil and grease staining, and is available in a wide range of colours and finishes to suit any property. The same material also makes stunning resin bound patios, ideal if you want a seamless look between your driveway and garden seating area.
Cost & Installation
A resin bound driveway typically costs between £60 and £80 per square metre, depending on size and design complexity, with additional costs where excavation or levelling is needed beforehand. Installation starts with dust-free diamond grinding to prepare an even sub-base, followed by multiple layers of resin to bond the aggregate to the base material, plus an anti-slip finish. We offer free site surveys and no-obligation quotations before any work begins - see our driveway cost guide for how this compares to other surfaces.
Durability & Maintenance
Resin bound surfaces typically last around 25 years, with occasional resurfacing needed every 3 to 10 years depending on footfall, vehicle use and UV exposure - always best left to a professional for a lasting finish. Day-to-day maintenance is minimal: a sweep to clear debris and an occasional pressure wash is normally all that's required, and unlike block paving there's no sealing or resealing needed.
Resin Bound vs Resin Bonded
Resin bound and resin bonded driveways are often confused, but they're built differently. A resin bound surface mixes the aggregate directly with the resin before laying, producing a smooth, seamless, slip-resistant finish that's fully permeable. A resin bonded surface instead applies a layer of adhesive to the base first, then scatters loose stone on top - it doesn't require curing so can be used sooner, but the finish is less durable and not permeable in the same way. For driveways and other high-traffic areas, resin bound is generally the stronger long-term choice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Resin Driveway Cost - How Much is Resin Bound Per Square Metre?
The cost of a resin-bound driveway varies depending on the size and design of the driveway, as well as the materials used. Generally, you can expect to pay between £60 - £80 per square metre for a standard resin-bound driveway. For larger projects or those that require more complex designs, prices may be higher. It is also important to consider other costs associated with installing your new resin-bound driveway such as excavation and groundwork. These costs will depend on how much preparation work is necessary before installation can begin. For example, if the area is already level then it will not require any excavations. However, if the area needs to be levelled out then this is an extra cost that must be factored in when considering the total cost of your project. It is also importan

How long do resin driveways last?
Resin bound driveways are becoming an increasingly popular option, as they tend to last longer than other materials such as tarmac and asphalt. Their life expectancy is approximately 25 years, making them a cost-effective alternative which you can use time and time again. The resin surface may need maintenance during this time, and varies depending on many factors such as the amount of footfall, vehicular access and exposure to UV light. A resin surface can last from 3 up to 10 years before it needs a refreshment. It's vital that a professional resurfaces your resin bound driveway for a perfect finish every time - we wouldn't recommend that you attempt this yourself!
Is Resin Bound permeable and SuDS compliant?
Yes, resin-bound paving is permeable and SuDS compliant . This makes it an ideal choice for a driveway or patio area since it allows water to pass through the surface without pooling on top of it. It also has a porous structure that can help reduce local flooding by controlling runoff and reducing pollutants in waterways. The aggregate particles used in resin bound are also specially selected to ensure they won't block up drainage systems, meaning that the surface is SuDS compliant and can be used in residential areas. So if you're looking for a permeable driveway or patio surface then resin-bound paving could be the perfect solution. With its low maintenance requirements and long-lasting durability, it's a great choice for any outdoor space. Resin-bound paving is a popular choice for resi
