Resin Driveways in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex

Leigh-on-Sea is one of the most desirable places to live in Essex. The Old Leigh fishing village, with its cockle sheds and weatherboard cottages, gives the town a charm that few places along the Thames estuary can match. Up the hill, the Broadway offers excellent shops and restaurants, while the residential streets contain a wonderful mix of Edwardian villas, Arts and Crafts homes, and spacious family houses. A resin bound driveway is the perfect surface to complement Leigh's special character.

Leigh is built on a slope running down from the Hadleigh ridge to the estuary. Many homes have sloping driveways where rain runs off quickly, pooling at the bottom or overflowing onto the pavement. The heavy London Clay beneath the town only makes this worse, as it does not absorb water well on its own.

Resin bound paving is fully permeable. Water passes through the surface and into a prepared drainage layer below. Even on sloping ground, this dramatically reduces run-off and keeps your driveway dry. It also means you usually will not need planning permission, as permeable surfaces meet the government's sustainable drainage requirements.
