Resin Driveways

Resin-bound driveways have become our most-requested install across the West Midlands. They look smart, drain rainwater straight through (so you'll never need planning permission), and they keep their colour for decades.

About our resin driveways service

A resin-bound driveway is made by mixing natural decorative aggregate with a clear UV-stable resin, then trowelling it across a properly prepared base — usually open-graded asphalt or sound concrete. The result is a seamless, slightly textured surface with no loose stones, no weeds in the joints, and full permeability. Because rainwater drains through rather than off, resin-bound systems comply automatically with the SUDS regulations and never need planning permission. We install across Stourbridge, Halesowen, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Kidderminster and the wider West Midlands. Every driveway gets the same approach: a site survey, drainage assessment, full base prep where needed, edge restraints, and a finish laid to a consistent 18mm depth. Done properly, expect 20–25 years before any major refurbishment.

Resin Driveways — Frequently Asked Questions

Do resin driveways need planning permission?+

No. Permeable resin-bound surfaces are exempt from planning permission under the SUDS regulations — rainwater drains through the surface rather than off to the highway.

How long does a resin driveway last?+

Properly installed, expect 20 – 25 years before any major refurbishment is needed. The resin is UV-stable so it won't fade, and the surface is unaffected by frost.

Can you overlay an existing concrete or tarmac driveway?+

Often yes. If the existing base is sound, level, and crack-free, a resin overlay is the cheapest upgrade — no dig-out or disposal costs. We assess at the site visit.
