"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."

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.

Every Royston project is engineered from the ground up — literally. We assess the existing sub-base, ground conditions and drainage, then specify a build that lasts.

Learn more →Why resin bound in Royston
Resin bound versus block paving in Royston
Block paving has been the default choice for driveways in Royston 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 Royston
Do you install resin bound driveways in Royston?+
Yes — Royston is well within our core service area from our Huntingdon head office. We install resin bound driveways, patios and paths across Royston and the surrounding Hertfordshire villages, with a directly employed team and five-year installation guarantee.
How much does a resin bound driveway cost in Royston?+
Our guide rate is £170 per m² plus VAT for a fully installed resin bound driveway in Royston, 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 Royston 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 Royston 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 Royston do you cover?+
We install throughout Royston and every surrounding village within our Hertfordshire 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.
