Professional Drainage and Sub Base Solutions
Good drainage and a solid sub base are the two foundations of any successful driveway, patio or path project. Without them, surfaces crack, sink, flood and fail. At Elite Resin Driveways Ltd, we combine drainage design and sub base construction into one seamless service. We get the hidden work right so the visible surface lasts for years.
We work with homeowners and property managers across Billericay, Chelmsford, Brentwood, Colchester, Basildon, Southend-on-Sea and the wider Essex area. Whether you are building new or replacing an existing surface, we make sure the foundations are right.
Why Drainage Matters
Surface water is a real problem for many Essex properties. Heavy rain can flood driveways, paths and patios. Water pooling against your home can cause damp, staining and even structural damage over time. Planning regulations now require new hard surfaces to manage water on site rather than sending it into the public drains.
This is where SUDS compliant drainage comes in. SUDS stands for Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems. The idea is simple: slow the water down, let it soak into the ground and reduce the load on the sewer network. We design and install drainage systems that meet these requirements and keep your property dry.
Our Drainage Solutions
We offer a range of drainage options to suit different sites and budgets:
- Permeable resin bound surfaces that let water drain straight through
- Linear drainage channels along edges and thresholds
- Soakaways to collect and disperse excess water underground
- French drains and land drains to redirect ground water
- Correct surface falls to guide water away from buildings
We assess your site carefully and choose the right combination of solutions. Every property is different, so we tailor the drainage design to your specific conditions.
Sub Base Construction
The sub base sits between the ground and the finished surface. It is made from compacted type 1 MOT aggregate and is typically 100mm to 200mm deep. The sub base spreads the load from vehicles and foot traffic, prevents the surface from sinking and works with the drainage system to move water away.
We excavate to the correct depth, remove any soft or unsuitable material, and lay the aggregate in layers. Each layer is compacted using vibrating plate equipment. We use a laser level to set accurate falls so water flows in the right direction. This careful, methodical approach gives you a sub base you can rely on.
Get the Foundations Right

Drainage and Sub Base Installation FAQs
What is SUDS compliant drainage?
SUDS stands for Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems. It means managing rainwater on your property rather than sending it into public drains. Permeable surfaces and soakaways are common SUDS solutions.
Do I need drainage for a resin bound driveway?
Resin bound is permeable, so most water drains through the surface. However, we still install edge drainage and soakaways where needed to handle excess water.
How deep is a typical sub base?
For domestic driveways, we usually lay 100mm to 200mm of compacted type 1 MOT. The exact depth depends on ground conditions and expected use.
Can you fix drainage problems on my existing driveway?
Yes. We can retrofit drainage channels, soakaways and land drains to existing driveways and patios that have water management problems.
