Simply put, resin bound paving is a permeable surface solution that can be used on your driveway, patio, or garden pathways.
It’s important not to confuse this with resin bonded surfacing, where a thin layer of resin is applied and loose gravel scattered on top. Over time, that gravel can become loose and scatter. Resin bound paving, on the other hand, involves thoroughly mixing the resin and aggregate before laying — creating a completely bound, seamless surface.
Resin bound paving is created by mixing thoroughly dried natural aggregates with a UV-stable polyurethane resin in a forced-action mixer. This ensures every stone particle is fully coated, producing a smooth, trowel-applied finish that is completely bound — with no loose stones whatsoever.
This porosity is important: it means resin bound paving complies with SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) regulations, and in most cases you won’t need planning permission to install it over your existing driveway or front garden in Marple.
In addition to being affordable, flexible and crack-resistant, resin bound paving offers numerous other benefits that make it the ideal choice for driveways in Marple, Greater Manchester.
Rainwater drains directly through the surface, eliminating puddles and meeting planning regulations without additional drainage works.
Every aggregate particle is fully bound. No stones tracked indoors, no scatter onto the road, no damage to lawnmowers or vehicles.
A simple jet wash or brush down is all that’s needed. No sealing, no re-sanding, no weeding — a clean, sturdy surface year after year.
We use UV-stable resin that won’t yellow or degrade in sunlight, ensuring your chosen aggregate colour stays vibrant for the life of the surface.
Thanks to its porous nature, resin bound paving is SuDS compliant. In most cases you won’t need planning permission to install it in Marple.
The textured finish provides excellent grip in wet conditions, and the porous nature prevents standing water that can freeze in winter months.
Choose from a wide range of colours and sizes, with optional contrasting edging for enhanced visual appeal. Create a finish that’s unique to your home.
Resistant to diesel, petrol and oil — making resin bound paving ideal for driveways. No staining, no deterioration from everyday vehicle use.
Properly installed on a sound sub-base, resin bound paving can last well over 20 years. Warranties typically range from 10 to 21 years — we back ours with a 5-year guarantee.

Pricing on a per square metre basis can vary as every project has unique requirements. Most installations generally start from around £40 per square metre. The final cost depends on factors such as the size of the area, the condition of the existing surface, and the type of aggregate selected. For an accurate quote, we always recommend a free site assessment.
There are two main types of resin used for driveways: epoxy and polyurethane. These days, epoxy is rarely used because it lacks the load-bearing strength required for long-term performance. Polyurethane is specifically engineered for this purpose, with polymers that enhance strength and resilience. We also use UV-resistant resin, chosen based on the colour of the stone, to ensure your surface maintains its appearance over time.
Absolutely. Resin bound paving is one of the most popular driveway surfaces in Marple and across Stockport. It’s fully porous — meeting SuDS drainage regulations — hard-wearing, low maintenance and looks exceptional for years. It suits all property types, from Victorian terraces to modern detached homes.
A resin bound driveway is a highly appealing alternative to traditional tarmac. Not only is it more durable and longer-lasting, but it also offers a visually striking appearance — a refreshing change from the bland, dull look of tarmac, asphalt or concrete. It’s also fully porous, unlike tarmac, which means no planning permission is typically required.
Resin bound paving is a highly durable, long-lasting surface solution. While warranties typically range from 10 to 21 years, when installed and maintained properly it can easily last for over 25 years. It requires minimal upkeep — no weeding, no loose stones to sweep, just a clean, sturdy surface that will stand the test of time. We back every installation with a 5-year workmanship guarantee.
Yes, resin driveways are often more affordable than block paving, particularly in the long run. While the initial installation cost may be comparable, resin driveways require less maintenance, have a quicker installation process, and offer superior durability — making them a cost-effective option over time.
Tarmac and concrete are the most suitable bases for resin driveways. The permeable nature of resin bound materials means they can be laid directly onto an existing tarmac surface, provided it remains in good condition. Alternatively, resin can be applied to a newly laid tarmac or concrete base after it has had adequate time to cure. We’ll assess your existing surface during the free survey.
