Resin Bound Driveways in London
OLD ENGLISH CONTRACTORS LTD
At Old English Contractors, we provide expertly installed resin bound driveways throughout London, offering a sleek, contemporary finish that combines visual appeal with long-term performance. Resin bound surfacing is made by mixing natural aggregate stones with a clear resin binder, creating a smooth, hard-wearing, and permeable surface. This innovative solution is becoming increasingly popular for its low-maintenance qualities and its ability to resist cracking, fading, and weed growth. With a wide selection of colours, stone blends, and finishes available, we can design a driveway that perfectly complements the look and character of your home, enhancing both kerb appeal and property value.
Our experienced team handles the entire installation process with care and precision, from initial ground preparation and levelling to the final resin application. We use only UV-stable, high-quality resins to ensure that your driveway retains its appearance and strength over time. Resin bound driveways are also fully permeable, allowing water to drain naturally through the surface. This not only helps to reduce surface water and flooding but also ensures compliance with Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDS) regulations. Whether you’re upgrading an outdated surface or planning a new driveway installation, Old English Contractors is committed to delivering outstanding results that combine durability, style, and environmental benefits.

A resin bound driveway is made by mixing natural aggregate stones with a clear resin and applying it to a prepared base. The result is a smooth, hard-wearing, and fully permeable surface that offers both aesthetic appeal and long-term durability. It’s ideal for modern and traditional homes alike.
Installation times vary depending on the size of the area, but most driveways can be completed in two to three days. This includes base preparation, resin mixing, and finishing. We always aim to minimise disruption while maintaining high-quality standards.
Yes, resin bound driveways are fully permeable, meaning water drains through the surface rather than pooling. This makes them compliant with Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDS), helping to reduce surface water runoff and prevent flooding.
When installed correctly on a solid base, resin bound surfaces are flexible enough to resist cracking. We use UV-stable, high-quality resin that maintains strength and colour even with constant exposure to the elements.
Maintenance is simple. Regular sweeping and the occasional power wash will keep your driveway looking clean and fresh. The surface resists weed growth, oil stains, and moss, making it much easier to care for than traditional paving.
