"I found Michael and his team when they were working on a drive nearby. He was very helpful with ideas and designs. The price was very competitive and the job they had just finished looked great. From start to finish I was kept up to speed with what they were expecting to do each day and when I could expect the drive to be finished. They were polite, tidy and very prompt every day which is unusual in the building trade. All of the lads were good at their job, friendly and a general pleasure to have working at our property. The drive looks amazing and it's made such a difference to the house. Thank you Michael, Fred and team. I highly recommend them and would use them again."

Resin bound specialists · Cambridge
Your local resin bound installer in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire
Resi-Tech is a directly employed resin bound driveway contractor working from our Huntingdon head office at Uplands Industrial Estate. We install premium resin bound driveways, patios, pathways and commercial surfaces throughout Cambridge and the surrounding Cambridgeshire area. Every project is delivered by our own trained teams — never subcontractors — and qualifying new installations are covered by a five-year guarantee, subject to the terms and conditions of the guarantee.
Cambridge homeowners increasingly choose resin bound over block paving because it is seamless, weed-free and fully SuDS compliant — critical in a city where surface-water flooding and conservation-area consents both matter.
Many streets around Newnham, Chesterton and Cherry Hinton have narrow access and mature street trees, so we plan groundworks to protect root zones and coordinate with parking suspensions where needed. In the historic conservation areas we specify aggregates that complement traditional gault-brick and Cambridge white brick facades.

Local site knowledge
What we know about installing in Cambridge
Every quotation starts with a free on-site survey — but here is what our directly-employed teams have learned from working in and around Cambridge over the past twenty-plus years.
From our Wyton HQ
18 miles — approximately 30 minutes by van. Materials, plant and crew are all deployed directly from Huntingdon, so scheduling is flexible and site visits are quick.
Typical ground conditions
Clay-with-flints in the south, gault brick-earth around the city
Drainage notes
Streets around Newnham and Cherry Hinton can hold surface water — a properly graded permeable base eliminates it.
Planning & permitted development
Central conservation areas require muted aggregate palettes; college-district streets often need parking suspensions during install.

Colours our Cambridge customers choose most
Based on the property styles common around Cambridge and CB, these three Resin Mill blends consistently sit at the top of our recommendation shortlist.

Dove Grey
Grey · Contemporary
Dove Grey resin bound marble blend offers a refined finish, calm enough to complement any architectural style. Reads as a light neutral in bright sun and deepens beautifully in shade.

Aspen
Grey · Silver · Contemporary
Aspen is a balanced silver-grey blend that softens hard architecture and complements pale render, painted timber and stainless steel accents.

Amalfi
Beige · Gold · Traditional
Amalfi is a sophisticated blend of golden-honey and creamy French stones that brings Mediterranean glamour to any hard-landscaped surface. A favourite for period properties and stone façades, it pairs beautifully with warm brick, Cotswold stone and limestone detailing.

Featured project · Harston
Resin Bound Driveway at a Country Property in Harston, near Cambridge
Resi-Tech completed this spacious resin bound driveway at a country-style property in Harston, near Cambridge. With a generous area to surface, the brief called for an attractive, practical finish that would complement the home while keeping ongoing maintenance manageable.
The light grey aggregate creates a smart approach to the house and detached garage. Its understated colour complements the natural stone façade and timber entrance, providing a neatly finished setting that suits the property’s country character.
A low-maintenance, permeable resin bound product was an ideal choice for this project. The finish combines the appearance of decorative natural aggregate with stones bound firmly together, avoiding the regular raking and redistribution associated with loose gravel. Routine sweeping and occasional cleaning help keep the surface looking its best.
This Harston installation demonstrates how resin bound surfacing can bring together traditional property character, everyday practicality and an attractive finish across a large driveway.

Learn more →Why resin bound in Cambridge
Resin bound versus block paving in Cambridge
Block paving has been the default choice for driveways in Cambridge for decades — but it comes with real problems. Weeds can seed in the joints, individual blocks can sink or lift, and cleaning often means pressure washing and re-sanding. A well-installed resin bound surface avoids those joints altogether.
- Seamless finish — no joints for weeds to root in; occasional sweeping and washing keep it clean
- Permeable surface — rainwater drains through when laid over a suitable permeable base
- Permeable builds usually avoid the need for planning permission on front-garden replacements (check local restrictions)
- UV-stable resin options help limit colour change over time
- Free-draining surface reduces standing water that can freeze
- Textured aggregate finish with good grip underfoot
- Any shape, any radius — sweeping curves without cut edges or joint lines
- Hand-trowelled by our own directly employed teams — never subcontracted

FAQs
Resin bound driveway questions in Cambridge
Do you install resin bound driveways in Cambridge?+
Yes — Cambridge is well within our core service area from our Huntingdon head office. We install resin bound driveways, patios and paths across Cambridge and the surrounding Cambridgeshire villages, with a directly employed team and five-year installation guarantee.
How much does a resin bound driveway cost in Cambridge?+
Our guide rate is £170 per m² plus VAT for a fully installed resin bound driveway in Cambridge, with a minimum project charge equivalent to 40 m² (£6,800 + VAT). A 50 m² drive is around £8,500 + VAT and 100 m² is around £17,000 + VAT. Final quotations follow a free site survey.
Will a resin bound driveway in Cambridge need planning permission?+
Usually not for a typical front-garden replacement, provided the whole build is permeable or water drains to a permeable area within the property. Government guidance for England says replacing more than five square metres of front-garden surface with an impermeable surface needs planning permission. Listed buildings, conservation areas and some new-build estates can have extra restrictions, so check with your local planning authority if in doubt. Resin bound is permeable, but drainage depends on the base and the ground beneath, which we assess at the survey.
How long does installation take on a typical Cambridge driveway?+
It depends on the size of the drive and how much groundwork is needed — an overlay on a sound existing base is quicker than full excavation and a new sub-base. We confirm the programme in your written quotation. Curing times vary with the resin system, temperature and weather, so we tell you on the day when the surface can be walked on and driven on.
Which villages around Cambridge do you cover?+
We install throughout Cambridge and every surrounding village within our Cambridgeshire service area, working from our Huntingdon head office. Get in touch to confirm availability in your postcode.
How much does a resin bound driveway cost?+
Our guide price is £170 per m² plus VAT, with a minimum project charge equivalent to 40 m² (£6,800 plus VAT, or £8,160 including VAT at 20%). A 50 m² driveway therefore has a guide estimate of £8,500 plus VAT (£10,200 inc VAT), and 100 m² is £17,000 plus VAT (£20,400 inc VAT). Prices are indicative and subject to a site survey — ground conditions, access, drainage, edging and design requirements may affect the final quotation.
How long does a resin bound surface last?+
A professionally installed resin bound surface lasts 20–25 years with minimal maintenance. All qualifying new Resi-Tech installations are covered by a five-year guarantee, subject to the terms and conditions of the guarantee.
Is resin bound surfacing permeable and SuDS compliant?+
Yes. Resin bound surfacing is fully permeable, allowing rainwater to drain naturally through the surface. This means it is SuDS compliant and in most cases does not require planning permission for front gardens.
How long does installation take?+
Most residential driveways are completed in 2–4 days including groundworks. The resin surface itself is usually laid in a single day and can be walked on after 24 hours and driven on after 72 hours.
