Natural stone setts remain the gold standard for period properties. But at £180–£240/m² installed, homeowners rightly ask how resin bound compares.
Installed cost
Setts land at £180–£240/m² for material and labour. Resi-Tech resin bound is £170/m² + VAT with a faster programme and less excavation waste to remove.
Comfort underfoot
Setts are beautiful but uneven — hard on prams, wheelie bins and heels. Resin bound is smooth, seamless and wheelchair-friendly without losing that natural aggregate appearance.
Long-term maintenance
Sett joints trap moss and weeds and need re-pointing every decade. A resin surface has no joints and needs an annual wash.
When we still recommend setts
Grade II listed properties and conservation areas often require traditional materials. Every Resi-Tech survey is honest — if setts suit your setting better, we'll say so.
