Durable, stylish, and permeable resin surfacing for homes across Derby. Free site surveys available.
If you are updating a property in Derby and need a tired driveway transformed into a stunning, seamless surface, our team provides a premium installation service whether you require a full excavation or a high-quality overlay. We work across all areas of Derby, including Allestree, Mickleover, Littleover, Chellaston, Oakwood, Spondon, and surrounding Derbyshire villages.
Many older Derby homes still feature cracked concrete, loose gravel, or fading tarmac, and these surfaces can often suffer from poor drainage and unsightly weeds. When a driveway is neglected, it detracts from the property’s value and can lead to puddles or ice in winter, which is why a modern resin solution is essential.
Our Resin Driveways Derby service focuses on making the renovation process straightforward and long-lasting. Whether you prefer a contemporary grey slate look or a golden aggregate finish, we use UV-stable resins and follow strict installation procedures to protect your investment and enhance your home’s curb appeal.
- Custom Design Consultation: We help you choose the perfect aggregate blend to match your home’s brickwork.
- Permeable Solutions: Our installations are fully SuDS compliant (Sustainable Drainage Systems), allowing water to drain naturally.
- Full Groundworks: Even if a full excavation is needed, we handle the sub-base preparation with professional machinery and care.
- Slip-Resistant Finishes: Every surface is finished with crushed glass for added grip, ensuring safety in wet weather.
- Ready for Traffic: After the installation of our Resin Driveways Derby projects, surfaces are usually walkable within 24 hours.
Choosing trained specialists ensures your Derby home receives a driveway that is durable, compliant, and ready for years of use with minimal maintenance.
Resin Driveways
Homeowners and landlords in Derby choose our Resin Driveways Derby service for several practical and aesthetic reasons:
- Low maintenance requirements: Unlike block paving, resin bound surfaces do not harbor weeds. Using trained Resin Driveways Derby specialists ensures a sealed, seamless finish that only requires an occasional power wash.
- No loose stones: Gravel driveways often migrate into the street or house. Resin binds the stones together, giving you the look of gravel without the mess.
- Prevention of puddles: The porous nature of resin bound systems allows water to flow through to the sub-base, preventing standing water and reducing flood risk.
- Better for accessibility: Smooth surfaces created by our team make access for wheelchairs, pushchairs, and vehicles far smoother than uneven cobbles.
- Improves property value: A pristine exterior instantly modernizes a home. Sleek, consistent driveways appeal more to buyers and estate agents.
- UV colour stability: We use high-quality aliphatic resins that resist yellowing from the sun, keeping your driveway looking fresh for years.
Choosing Resin Driveways Derby means a smarter property, easier maintenance, and a more modern, valuable living space.
What is Resin Bound vs Resin Bonded?
If you are researching driveway options, it is vital to know the difference. “Resin Bonded” involves scattering stone onto glue, which can peel over time. “Resin Bound” is the superior method we use.
There is no comparison in quality. Resin Bound involves mixing the stone and resin thoroughly before troweling it down. We ensure every Resin Driveways Derby project utilizes the bound method for maximum durability.
Even if you have an existing concrete base, professional Resin Driveways Derby installation is the best approach because overlaying incorrectly can lead to cracking and delamination if the sub-base is not properly prepared.

Small Paths or Grand Entrances?

Commercial Surfacing We can handle large car parks and communal areas efficiently with competitive rates for larger square footage.
Residential Driveways Ideal for transforming the front of your home with a bespoke color mix.
Pathways & Patios Create a seamless flow from your front gate to your rear garden with matching resin pathways.
What Condition is the Ground Underneath?
Before the resin is laid, we assess the substrate:
- Concrete: A common base that is excellent for overlays if it is crack-free and primed.
- Tarmac: The ideal porous base for SuDS compliance, often used in new installations.
- Grass or Soil: Requires a full “dig-out” and installation of a porous asphalt or concrete sub-base.
A professional assessment ensures the foundation is solid, giving you a crack-free finish for decades.
Can You Just Resin Over Tarmac?
Sometimes, and it is often a cost-effective option. However, checks are needed:
- The tarmac must be structurally sound and free of major undulations.
- Edgings must be high enough to accommodate the new resin depth (usually 18mm).
- Drainage must be adequate to handle surface water.
Professional Resin Driveways Derby installers will always test the existing surface first. If it is crumbling, we will recommend a full excavation to guarantee the longevity of your investment.
