Why Brentwood Resin Driveways

Sub-base preparation and drainage channels built before resin application

Most resin driveway failures start below the surface — weak sub-base or missing drainage leads to cracks, pooling, and uneven settling within the first year.

Common Challenges

Wrong ground prep causes early failure
Skipping sub-base assessment or drainage channels leaves resin sitting on unstable ground that shifts and cracks.
Poor mixing leads to uneven surface
Incorrect resin-to-aggregate ratio creates patchy colour, soft spots, or areas that wear faster than others.
No drainage causes water pooling
Without proper falls and channels, water sits on the surface instead of draining through, defeating the permeable benefit.

How We Help

150mm MOT Type 1 Sub-Base
Compacted hardcore layer provides stable foundation that won't shift under vehicle weight or freeze-thaw cycles.
Drainage Channels Prevent Pooling
Falls built into sub-base direct water away from property, while permeable resin lets rain drain through in seconds.
UV-Resistant Resin Keeps Colour
Aliphatic resin resists yellowing from sunlight, maintaining chosen aggregate colour for decades without resealing.
Installation Warranty Included
Workmanship guarantee covers installation defects, giving you recourse if ground prep or application fails early.
SuDS Compliance Confirmed
Permeable surface meets Sustainable Drainage Systems rules, avoiding planning issues and protecting local watercourses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about resin driveway installation

Answers covering ground prep, costs, and what to expect during installation.

Weak sub-base causes resin to crack and settle unevenly within months. Water pools instead of draining, and frost heave lifts sections in winter. Proper 150mm MOT Type 1 sub-base prevents these failures, saving you £3,000-£5,000 in early replacement costs.

Existing cracks widen as water seeps underneath, destabilising the foundation further. Each freeze-thaw cycle worsens damage, making eventual excavation deeper and costlier. Installing resin over a stable base now avoids 30-40% higher costs from foundation repairs later.

Full installation typically costs £50-£70 per m² including excavation, sub-base, drainage, and resin surfacing. A standard 50m² driveway runs £2,500-£3,500. Quotes itemise ground prep, materials, and labour separately so you see exactly what you're paying for.

Excavate 200-250mm depth, lay 150mm compacted MOT Type 1 hardcore, install drainage channels with falls away from property, then add 50mm levelling layer. Existing concrete or tarmac can be used if stable and crack-free, saving excavation costs.

Yes, if the base is stable, level, and crack-free. Resin bonds directly to sound concrete or tarmac, avoiding excavation costs. Cracked or uneven bases need repair or replacement first, or cracks telegraph through the resin within months.

Higher upfront cost than gravel or basic tarmac. Installation requires dry weather and 24-hour cure time before use. Poor ground prep or cheap resin leads to early failure, so choosing experienced installers matters more than with simpler surfaces.

Permeable resin driveways under 5m² don't need permission. Larger areas are exempt if SuDS-compliant and water drains to lawn or soakaway, not the road. Non-permeable surfaces over 5m² require planning approval.

Ground prep takes 1-2 days for excavation and sub-base compaction. Resin application takes 1 day for a standard driveway. Full cure requires 24 hours before light foot traffic, 48 hours before vehicle use. Weather delays extend timelines.
