Getting a resin driveway installed is one of the smartest improvements you can make to your property. At Elite Resin Driveways Ltd, we handle every stage of the installation process from start to finish. We work with homeowners across Essex — from Chelmsford and Brentwood to Basildon and Colchester — to install driveways that look fantastic and perform brilliantly for years.
What Our Installation Service Includes
When you choose us for your resin driveway installation, you get a complete service. We do not just turn up and lay resin on whatever is already there. We survey your property, prepare the ground properly, install the surface, and leave you with a finished driveway that is built to last.
Many companies cut corners on preparation. We never do. The base beneath your resin surface is what makes the difference between a driveway that lasts five years and one that lasts twenty. That is why we spend as much time on what goes underneath as we do on the finish you see.
The Installation Process Step by Step
First, we visit your property for a free survey. We measure the driveway, check levels and drainage, look at the existing surface, and talk to you about what you want. We then prepare a detailed quote that covers everything — materials, labour, skip hire, edging, and any extras.
When work begins, we start by removing the old surface if needed. This might be old tarmac, cracked concrete, or worn block paving. We dig down to a stable sub-grade and compact it properly.
Next, we lay a new sub-base. This is usually compacted MOT Type 1 or Type 3 stone, depending on your ground conditions. In areas around Chelmsford and Brentwood where clay soils are common, getting this layer right is especially important for long-term performance and drainage.
On top of the sub-base, we lay a smooth tarmac or concrete regulating layer. This gives the resin bound surface a flat, even base to sit on. We install edging — usually aluminium — to frame the driveway and keep the edges clean and sharp.
Finally, we mix the resin and aggregate on site and trowel it onto the prepared base. The surface is levelled and smoothed by hand to create an even, seamless finish. The driveway is then left to cure.
Why Proper Installation Matters
A resin driveway is only as good as its installation. If the base is not solid, the surface will crack. If the drainage is not right, water will pool underneath and cause problems. If the resin is not mixed correctly, the stones will come loose.
We have seen the results of poor installation by other companies. Homeowners in Billericay and Southend-on-Sea have called us to fix driveways that were laid on weak bases or without proper edging. These problems are expensive to put right. Choosing an experienced installer from the start saves you money and stress.
Our team has years of experience installing resin driveways specifically in Essex. We understand local ground conditions, drainage requirements, and the weather patterns that affect how materials perform. This local knowledge is something you cannot get from a national franchise.
Materials We Use
We only use high-quality materials. Our resins are UV stable and will not yellow in sunlight. Our aggregates are kiln dried, graded, and sourced from trusted suppliers. We choose materials that are designed for the British climate, with flexibility to cope with temperature changes and resistance to frost damage.
Every resin bound driveway we install is fully permeable and SUDS compliant. This means rainwater drains through the surface naturally. In most cases, you will not need planning permission to replace your existing driveway, which saves time and hassle.
Eco-Friendly Installation
Our installation methods are as eco-friendly as possible. We recycle excavated materials where we can. The permeable surface we install helps rainwater return to the ground naturally instead of overwhelming local drains. Many of our aggregate options include recycled materials. Choosing a resin driveway is good for your home and good for the environment.

Resin Driveway Installation FAQs
How long does a resin driveway installation take?
Most standard driveways take three to five days from start to finish. This includes excavation, base preparation, and the resin bound surface. Larger or more complex projects may take a little longer.
What happens to my old driveway surface?
We remove the old surface and dispose of it responsibly. Skip hire and waste removal are included in our quote so there are no surprise costs.
Can you install in any weather?
Resin needs dry conditions and temperatures above 5°C to cure properly. We plan installations around the weather forecast and will reschedule if conditions are not suitable. This protects the quality of your finished driveway.
Do you handle drainage as part of the installation?
Yes. We assess drainage during the survey and include any necessary drainage work in our quote. Because resin bound paving is permeable, it naturally helps with water management, but we make sure the overall drainage is right for your property.
