Resin Bound Driveways in St Ives

Yes — St Ives is well within our core service area from our Huntingdon head office. We install resin bound driveways, patios and paths across St Ives and the surrounding Cambridgeshire villages, with a directly employed team and five-year installation guarantee.

Our guide rate is £170 per m² plus VAT for a fully installed resin bound driveway in St Ives, 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.

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.

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.

We install throughout St Ives and every surrounding village within our Cambridgeshire service area, working from our Huntingdon head office. Get in touch to confirm availability in your postcode.

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.

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.

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.

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.
