Professional Resin Driveway Installations in Rochester ME1-ME3

Resin bound surfacing is a blend of natural aggregate and clear resin, mixed on site and trowelled by hand to a smooth, even finish. It is porous, so rainwater soaks through instead of running off onto the road, which makes it a sensible choice for front drives in Rochester under the planning rules for hard surfaces.

The finish is only as good as what lies beneath it. We lay resin over a new porous base on a compacted sub-base, or over an existing surface if it is sound enough, with edging to hold the resin layer neatly in place.

Replace Your Old Rochester Driveway with Resin Bound

Sunken block paving, cracked concrete and tired tarmac can all be replaced with resin bound. In some cases a sound tarmac or concrete drive can stay as the base, which saves the cost and disruption of a full dig out.

Where the existing drive has failed, we take it up, remove the waste and build a new base before the resin goes down. Either way, you choose the aggregate blend for your Rochester drive from samples before work begins.

Resin Bound Quality You Can Depend On

Resin is sensitive to mixing and weather. Every batch is measured to the correct ratio of resin to aggregate, and we do not lay in rain or cold conditions that would spoil the cure.

Resin bound is often confused with resin bonded, where loose stone is scattered onto a resin coat. We lay both, but for a smooth, permeable drive in Rochester, resin bound is usually the one to choose.

20+ Years of Rochester Driveway Experience

Over two decades we have laid driveways in tarmac, block paving, gravel and resin, so you get a straight comparison rather than a push towards one material.

Experience also shows in the details that decide how a drive wears around Rochester: falls that carry water away from the house, edges that hold their line and a tidy join where the drive meets the footway.

More Reasons to Choose Us for All Your Resin Bound Needs

Resin bound needs little upkeep. An occasional sweep and wash keeps it looking fresh, and with no joints between blocks, weeds have far fewer places to take hold. The smooth surface is also comfortable for pushchairs and wheelchairs.

We are approved under the Trading Standards Buy With Confidence scheme, and every quote for a Rochester resin drive is free with no obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Resin Bound Driveways in Rochester: What People Ask

Does a resin bound drive need planning permission?

Resin bound laid over a porous base counts as a permeable surface, so a front drive over 5 square metres does not normally need planning permission. If it goes over a non-porous base, the rainwater has to be directed to a soakaway or planted area instead. We confirm which approach suits your drive at the quote stage.

Can resin go over my existing driveway?

Sometimes. A sound tarmac or concrete drive without serious cracks or movement can be used as a base. Block paving and gravel cannot, so those are lifted and removed, and a new base is built.

Do you install resin driveways in Rochester?

Yes, Rochester is part of the area we cover from our Staplehurst office. Call 01634 871905 to arrange a free quote.

What is the difference between resin bound and resin bonded?

Resin bound has the stone mixed into the resin, giving a smooth, porous surface with no loose stones. Resin bonded has stone scattered onto a resin coat, giving a rougher, gravel-like texture that does not drain through.

Is a resin driveway permeable?

Resin bound is, provided it is laid on a base that drains. Laid over solid tarmac or concrete, the water passes through the resin but then needs falls to carry it off the base.
