Resin Bound Driveways
Our resin bound driveways combine natural aggregates with polyurethane resin to create durable, permeable surfaces. These installations prevent waterlogging while maintaining aesthetic appeal through customizable colour blends. The system's SUDS compliance eliminates planning permission requirements for drainage. Suitable for both new constructions and resurfacing projects across residential and commercial properties.
Heritage Site Surfaces
Specialist surfacing solutions approved for use in heritage locations by English Heritage and the National Trust. Our systems maintain historical integrity while providing modern performance benefits. Available in multiple UV-stable hues to match original architectural contexts. Ideal for listed buildings, conservation areas, and regeneration projects requiring sympathetic materials.
Pool Surrounds
Permeable surfacing designed specifically for swimming pool and hot tub surrounds. The non-slip finish ensures safety around wet areas while allowing natural water drainage. Resists staining from pool chemicals and maintains appearance under constant exposure. Suitable for both domestic and commercial aquatic facilities seeking low-maintenance, visually cohesive installations.
Public Pathways
Durable pathway solutions for public parks, school play areas, and regeneration projects. The smooth, wheelchair-friendly surface meets accessibility standards while preventing weed growth. Available in various aggregate blends to complement natural surroundings. Designed to withstand heavy foot traffic without compromising environmental credentials through permeable construction.
Patios
Custom resin-bound patio installations that transform tired outdoor areas into attractive living spaces. The porous surface prevents puddling while maintaining design flexibility through multiple colour and texture options. Resists cracking from temperature changes and requires minimal maintenance. Ideal for homeowners seeking long-lasting, visually appealing garden surfaces that integrate seamlessly with landscaping.
Questions
What surfaces can resin bound surfacing be applied to?
Our system works on existing concrete, tarmac, and new SUDS-compliant bases. Suitable for driveways, paths, patios, and public spaces when properly prepared.
Is planning permission required for resin driveways?
No planning permission needed due to SUDS compliance, which allows natural water drainage through the permeable surface into the water table.
How environmentally friendly are your surfaces?
Our 100% organic resin and natural stone materials make surfaces up to ten times more eco-friendly than concrete, with permeable construction preventing waterlogging.
What maintenance do resin surfaces require?
Low maintenance required - occasional pressure washing maintains appearance. Surfaces resist weeds, staining, and cracking without needing regular treatments.
Can you work on heritage or listed buildings?
Yes, our surfaces are approved by English Heritage and the National Trust for use in historically significant locations while maintaining modern performance standards.

Report
We are absolutely delighted with our new resin driveway. Driveways of Distinction came highly recommended and this was important to us, not least because our driveway is huge and we didn't want any expensive mistakes! We needn't have worried however as Dan proved to be very diligent, making many trips beforehand to check over things with us, measurements, colour mix choices etc. The work was completed efficiently and effectively by a very friendly and professional team. Only too happy to recommend this business. Thank you Dan!

Dan visited my property the morning after my initial phone call. He measured up; gave me a price with which I was happy and said he would be able to fit me in quite soon between some of his larger projects. In the meantime, I was given addresses to view previous work which I found very useful. I was also shown lots of sample stone.
Dan was brilliant throughout keeping me updated. On the day, the men did a great job, especially as the access was difficult, requiring a lot of heavy lifting. Very pleased with the result and have had many compliments from friends and neighbours. Great experience

We used Driveways of Distinction to have our driveway and entrance to the house resurfaced. It looks fabulous. Such a difference to have a resin driveway instead of an old concrete one. Dan was very professional in explaining how to complete the work. It was finished by Dave to an excellent standard in only one day. It was quite a big area and we are very pleased about the finished work. We would highly recommend Dan and his team.

Report
Driveways of Distinction laid a resin bound patio at the rear of our house in June 2021. We found them to be reliable and trustworthy, sticking to what was agreed on timing, and undertaking their work to a great standard with the minimum of fuss. At the pre-contract stage they adopted a professional approach by quoting on the basis of a fixed price per square metre. One of their competitors had taken a different approach - starting high and then dropping their price with pressure to sign-up immediately like a double glazing salesman, and that led to a loss of trust.

We are extremely happy with the works thus far on our resin driveway that Dan and his team have laid for us. They arranged everything from initial groundworks through to the resin driveway being laid. Dan always responded to queries in a timely manner and was on site when driveway was being installed making sure all works were of the highest standards. Driveway will look fantastic once agreed recessed lighting holes are tidied of excess resin so electrician can complete the job.

Dave and Dan did a great job and have made my life easier by adding a door ramp to the front area of resin surfacing so that I ca get in and out of my home on my mobility scooter. I would definitely recommend them if you want a well priced, top class job, done to your chosen specification.
