Block paving was the popular choice for driveways across Essex for many years. But over time, blocks sink, weeds grow in the joints, and the surface becomes uneven and hard to maintain. At Elite Resin Driveways Ltd, we remove old block paving and replace it with stunning resin bound surfaces. The difference is remarkable, and the maintenance savings are even better.
Why Homeowners Are Moving Away From Block Paving
Block paving looks great when it is first laid. But it needs constant upkeep. Sand washes out of the joints and needs replacing. Weeds push up between the blocks within months. Individual blocks sink and create trip hazards. Ants nest under the surface and push sand up through the gaps. Moss and algae make it slippery in autumn and winter.
Homeowners in Chelmsford, Brentwood, and Billericay tell us the same story. They spend weekends pulling weeds, jet washing, and re-sanding their block paving. Some have had sections re-laid multiple times. Eventually, they decide they want a surface that does not need constant attention.
That is where resin bound paving comes in. No joints means no weeds. No individual blocks means no sinking. No sand means nothing for ants to disturb. And the smooth, sealed surface does not harbour moss or algae the way block paving does.
Our Block Paving Replacement Process
We start by lifting and removing the old block paving. This includes the blocks themselves and the sand bed they sit on. We then assess the sub-base underneath. In many cases, the original sub-base can be reused if it is still solid and well-compacted.
If the sub-base needs work, we make repairs or lay a fresh one. On top of this, we apply a tarmac or concrete regulating layer. This gives the resin bound surface a smooth, stable foundation to sit on.
New aluminium edging is installed to frame the driveway. Then the resin and aggregate are mixed on site and hand-trowelled to a smooth finish. The result is a clean, modern surface that looks completely different from the old blocks.
The Benefits of Switching to Resin
The biggest benefit is how much time you save on maintenance. A resin bound driveway needs a quick sweep and occasional rinse. Compare that to hours spent weeding, re-sanding, and jet washing block paving. Over the years, the time saving is significant.
Resin bound paving is permeable and SUDS compliant. Old block paving is often semi-permeable at best, and as the joints fill with dirt and moss, it becomes less effective at draining water. A resin bound surface drains water consistently for its entire lifespan.
The flat, smooth finish is easier to walk on, especially for anyone with mobility issues. There are no raised edges or sunken blocks to catch your foot on. Pushchairs, wheelchairs, and wheeled bins glide across the surface easily.
Visually, the change is dramatic. Many of our customers in Basildon and Colchester are surprised at how much bigger and cleaner their driveway looks once the old blocks are replaced with a seamless resin finish.
What Happens to the Old Blocks?
We dispose of all old materials responsibly. Block paving can often be recycled or reused. We arrange skip hire and waste removal as part of our service, and the cost is included in your quote. You do not need to worry about any of this — we take care of it.
A Popular Upgrade Across Essex
Replacing block paving with resin is one of our most requested services. We carry out these conversions every week across Southend-on-Sea, Chelmsford, Brentwood, and the surrounding areas. Each time, the homeowner tells us they wish they had done it sooner.
The investment adds value to your property and improves its kerb appeal. If you are planning to sell, a clean resin driveway makes a much stronger first impression than tired block paving with weeds growing through it.
Eco-Friendly Upgrade
By switching to a permeable resin bound surface, you help manage rainwater more sustainably. Water drains through the surface into the ground, reducing runoff and supporting natural drainage systems. Old block paving that has become clogged offers none of these benefits.

Block Paving Removal & Resin Replacement FAQs
How long does it take to replace block paving with resin?
A typical block paving replacement takes three to five days, depending on the size of the driveway. This includes removal of the old surface, preparation, and laying the new resin bound finish.
Can you reuse the sub-base under my block paving?
Often, yes. If the original sub-base is well-compacted and in good condition, we can build on top of it. We always check before starting and will let you know if any base work is needed.
Is resin bound really that much less maintenance than block paving?
Yes, significantly. Block paving needs regular weeding, re-sanding, and jet washing. Resin bound paving needs a sweep and occasional rinse. Most customers tell us they spend a fraction of the time on upkeep.
Will a resin driveway sink like my block paving did?
Resin bound paving is a continuous, flexible surface rather than individual blocks on sand. When laid on a properly compacted base, it distributes weight evenly and does not develop the sunken spots that are common with block paving.
