Resin Bound Surfacing in Norwich
Resin bound surfacing has quickly become a top choice for driveways, pathways, and patio areas.
Based in Norwich, we at Driveline Surfacing Ltd take pride in being among the first in Norfolk to specialize in resin bound installations. Our team’s extensive expertise ensures top-notch results every time.
Whether you need a small patio overlay or a large-scale driveway project, we’ve got you covered. We exclusively use BBA-approved materials, and our UV-resistant resins guarantee that your new surface will maintain its vibrant color without fading—an essential consideration for any resin installation.
When installing a new resin surface, Driveline Surfacing Ltd takes care of the entire construction process, including creating a new sub-base. Typically, we use 14mm open-graded tarmac, which is 100% permeable. The durability of a resin bound surface is highly dependent on the quality of its base, often necessitating a new sub-base.
In some cases, resin can be applied over existing surfaces, pending a thorough survey. This method is ideal for rejuvenating old tarmac or tar and chip surfaces and can be a cost-effective alternative to traditional surfacing options. If you’re looking for top-quality resin bound driveways in Norwich, we are your go-to experts.

There is no loose stone in resin bound surfaces because the process uses natural aggregate and clear resin, mixed together and hand trowelled, giving a precise finish. Resin driveways also make for a very low maintenance surface with great benefits, including being durable and strong, with an anti-slip surface and attractive finish. Resin bound driveways are also popular because of their eco-friendly properties. As they are 100 percent porous, they are self-draining, which is a process that eliminates hazardous surface water. Refresh your property’s entryway with an elegant and robust driveway in Norwich, customised to align with your preferences and boost kerb appeal.

We can apply a resin surface directly on top of almost any hard surface, including asphalt, tarmac, patio slabs, block paving and concrete, providing that their condition is good. By leaving the existing surface in place, and opting for a resin overlay system, you will save on the costs associated with removing a hard-landscaped surface. So it’s an economic option too.
Resin driveways, paths & patios process
In terms of process, the first thing we would do for you is inspect and repair your existing surface where needed, before power-washing it, removing all the surface dirt and any moss build up, ahead of the transformation of your outdoor space. Bringing the surface up to this condition means that the resin will immediately form a strong bond. If we can’t directly apply on top of your existing surface, we can cover the excavation and groundworks for you. During installation, the aggregate stone is hand-trowelled by one of our highly trained staff to form a strong and smooth finish. When it comes to edging, we offer a number of options and can also advise on things such as manhole covers, which are not a problem. The edging isn’t just reserved for the outside of your resin driveway, it can serve as a divide between any colours and patterns that you choose. All that’s needed to remove any bird droppings or mud is the odd light power-wash to keep your resin driveway looking as smart as the day we lay it. Where wet weather conditions and airborne seeds cause weeds to germinate on the top of the surface, weed killer is also fine to use up to twice a year. The only thing that we would strongly advise against is washing your car when it is parked on your resin bound driveway, as most car cleaning chemicals contain solvents that break down the resin hardener. Experience the transformation of your outdoor spaces with a new resin bound driveway or resin patio designed for both longevity and visual appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Resin bound surfacing involves mixing aggregates with resin and applying it evenly on a surface, creating a flat, porous finish.
It is durable, versatile, and visually appealing. The aggregate is fully covered in resin, enhancing longevity and resistance to wear and tear. This type of surfacing is also low maintenance and weed resistant. Despite sounding similar, resin bound and resin bonded are different surfacing types with distinct characteristics and uses.
Resin bound surfacing costs can vary depending on the specific requirements and size of the area of your project. If you’re overlaying onto an existing surface, prices typically start from around £55 per square metre. However, for a full installation that requires a new base, costs can increase to approximately £130 per square metre.
Yes, you can power wash resin bound surfaces. This is a great method to remove any dirt or stains and maintain the fresh and attractive appearance of the surface. However, it’s recommended to use a gentle setting to avoid any potential damage to the resin. Always ensure to sweep the surface regularly to remove any loose debris, and power wash it occasionally for a deeper clean.
Resin bound and resin bonded are two distinct surfacing systems. Resin bound surfaces are smooth, porous, and flexible due to a process where aggregate particles are mixed with resin before being laid.
Resin bonded surfaces, however, involve applying a resin layer to the surface, then spreading aggregate on top, resulting in a textured, non-permeable finish. While both are durable, the choice depends on the project’s specific needs.
Most installations take anything from 1-3 days one day being a straight forward overlay and a 3 day job being when a new sub base is installed.
Resin bound surfacing is well known for its durability and longevity. When properly installed and maintained, it can last up to 20 years. However, this lifespan can vary depending on factors like the quality of the installation, the volume of traffic the surface takes, and the level of maintenance carried out over the years.
You can usually walk on a resin bound driveway after 4 to 6 hours following the completion of the installation. However, we generally recommend to wait for 24 hours to ensure the surface is fully dry to avoid any potential damage.
It is always a good idea to consult with your resin drive installation team for guidance specific to your project.
