A resin-bound driveway is a mixture of aggregate stones and resin, which is combined to create surfaces such as footpaths, driveways, and patios. As a flexible surfacing material, it is resistant to cracking and offers a durable and long-lasting surfacing option. We only use high-quality aggregates and resin for driveways to achieve the best possible finish for our customers.
Before our team being the installation process of your resin bound driveway surface, we need to know if the material beneath it is any good condition. The long term health of your paving can also depend on this, the overall permeability of your surface can also depend on what lies beneath. In most cases we see, everything is fine, it’s important to check so we can avoid any problems later on and also talk to you about any extra work that your driveway may need. Your new driveway should be a fully permeable surface, so a new porous base is needed and any existing concrete or tarmac will be replaced. For a new non permeable surface, existing tarmac or concrete will both be fine as base materials, if they’re in good condition, for more information if you’re unsure about whether you need a permeable or non permeable surface.
Cracks or crumbling on your base are signs that are your existing concrete or tarmac base is not of high enough quality to support the installation. The resin bound solutions that we provide won’t not mend or hide problems underneath, so even if the cracked or crumbled area appears to be minor, this may spread later, beneath your new surface, it could also create problems if its not replaced first. Should you have trees nearby, then this is fine, but if they’re large in size or too close, they could create problems as their roots sometimes lift and will disturb the paving.

If it’s time for a new driveway at your property, you may consider a resin bound installation. Before you do this it’s important that you evaluate all of the resin-bound surfacing pros and cons. At Central Group, as a professional resin bound installation team, we’re specialists when it comes to resin bound and bonded solutions, to help you decide if a resin bound installation is for you, take a look at the pros and cons below.
Resin Bound Firm – Using a reputable driveway company or contractor means that you can ensure a top quality service. This may sound standard but there’s no regulations for resin bound driveways, making sure that you use a respectable firm will help you to make sure that your installation is of the highest standard. You can guarantee that your new driveway installation is provided by a professional company like Central Group. When it comes to a new driveway service, a makeover on the cheap is tempting and resin-bound overlays are an option, they come at half the cost of a full resin installation, but not all surfaces will be available for this type of installation, so it’s important to do your research first.
Quality Resin Surfacing – There is a big difference in the types of resin that are available, so if you’re going to go for a darker stone and are aiming for an overall darker finish, UV protection is going to be less of a concern. This is also true when it comes to the majority of the surfacing area being shaded as the UV protection will then be less important. If you are thinking of going for a lighter coloured stone and are in need of a lighter resin finish, we also recommend using a resin material that offers UV protection.
Stone Sizes and Drainage – Using smaller stone aggregates won’t allow surface water to drain as easily as a larger stone. It’s a good idea to consider only using a smaller stone if drainage bedding or a drainage system is in place.
Maintenance – The maintenance of a resin bound drive installation can be easy to overlook, regular cleaning of your resin driveways will be the key to ensuring that organic growth like moss and weeds don’t take over, as well as not looking good, this can also be a slip hazard.
Heavy Traffic – Central Group recommends that you don’t use resin as a surfacing option for your driveway, if the area is heavily trafficked and vehicles regularly have to turn it on, then frequent turning can cause resin to lift.
Visual Appeal – Resin bound driveways are a modern driveway option, they’re known for their stunning look. We provide a range of professional installations here at Central Group and can help to enhance the appearance of any property. We also have a large range of colour combinations available and you can choose a drive that blends in with its surroundings.
No Drainage Issues – Should your resin-bound driveway be installed properly, there should be no drainage issues, technology also allows the water to go through resin neatly. A resin driveway is a permeable option, but true permeability will only be possible if the surface underneath is permeable to. If there are slopes, gradients and falls then you shouldn’t have any drainage issues.
Value for Money – Should a resin bound driveway be installed onto an existing base, the costs will then reduce significantly, so you can expect to pay in the region of £70 to £80 per square metre for an overlay. Full resin bound surface installations will be priced and vary depending on the size.
Quick Installation Process – Overlays of resin bound can be installed using the existing concrete or tarmacadam surface, this is used as a sub-base and will save money and time. Even in groundworks, the preparation and laying of sub-base is required, a resin bound installation can usually be completed within a week.
Maintenance – There shouldn’t be weed or moss growth as long as the resin-bound surface is kept clean, this is a low maintenance option as a driveway surface.
