Overview
## About OurResin Bound Service.

What it is

A resin bound driveway is a hand-trowelled surface made from washed, kiln-dried natural aggregate blended on-site with a two-part clear resin. It's laid over a properly prepared base — usually new tarmac or existing sound tarmac — to create a smooth, UV-stable and fully permeable driveway or patio finish.

Who it's for

It's the right surface for homeowners across Stourbridge, Birmingham and the wider West Midlands who want a modern, low-maintenance driveway that looks handmade — without the movement, weeds or sunken joints that come with block paving over time.

When you need it

Choose resin bound when you're replacing a tired, weed-ridden driveway, extending a patio or pathway, or specifying a new-build finish where SUDS-compliant permeable surfacing is required and pattern imprint concrete would look dated.

Why professional matters

Done right, resin bound is a 15-year-plus surface. Done wrong — poor base prep, wrong resin ratio, cold-day installation — it fails within a season. VUBA is the system we're trained on; every mix is timed, temperature-checked and trowelled by the same crew from start to finish.

 What happens when it's done wrong
## The Failures WeGet Called To Fix.
Cutting corners on resin bound shows up fast. Here's what to avoid — and what we build into every install instead.

### Cracking within one winter
Resin laid over a failing or under-specified base cracks as the ground moves in the first freeze-thaw cycle. There's no cosmetic repair — the section has to come out and go back in.

### Sticky, milky, yellowed finish
Non-UV-stable resin or an off-ratio mix looks fine on day one, then yellows within 12 months. A cheap quote today becomes a full re-lay in year two.

### Puddling &amp; drainage failures
Resin bound is permeable — but only over a permeable base. Lay it over a sealed slab and rainwater has nowhere to go, breaching SUDS regulations and pooling on your drive.

### Weed growth through the surface
Skipping the herbicide + membrane step at ground works stage means weeds push through the resin from underneath within a year.

Our process
## How We InstallYour Resin Bound.

01

### Free site survey
We visit — usually within 24 hours — measure up, check the existing base, discuss aggregate colours and give you a clear written quote.

02

### Full ground preparation
Excavation to depth (or over-lay assessment on sound tarmac), MOT type-1 sub-base, edging restraints, drainage and herbicide membrane where needed.

03

### Base course
Fresh open-graded tarmac base laid, rolled and cured — the correct foundation for a long-lasting resin bound finish.

04

### VUBA resin install
Two-part VUBA resin mixed on-site with your chosen aggregate, hand-trowelled in a continuous pour to avoid cold joints, then floated smooth.

05

### Cure, clean &amp; handover
24-hour foot traffic cure, 48–72 hour vehicle cure depending on weather. Final clean-up, walk-around, and your 10-year workmanship guarantee in writing.

Benefits
## Why It's WorthDoing It Right.

### Seamless, no joints
One continuous surface — no cracks, no gaps, nowhere for weeds to root.

### SUDS-compliant permeable
Rainwater drains straight through, meeting planning drainage rules.

### UV-stable colour
VUBA resin doesn't yellow — the colour you sign off is the colour you keep.

### Low maintenance
An occasional jet wash on a low setting and it looks like day one.

### 15-year-plus lifespan
Properly laid over the right base, resin bound outlasts pattern imprint concrete by a decade.

### 10-year workmanship guarantee
Every installation is backed in writing — fully insured, in-house crew only.

Deep detail
## Everything We Install&amp; How We Install It.

### Materials we use
We install the VUBA resin bound system exclusively — a UV-stable, two-part polyurethane resin engineered for UK weather. Aggregates are washed, kiln-dried natural stone in a wide range of colours (autumn quartz, silver birch, midnight blue, gold, mixed blends). Base build-up is MOT type-1 sub-base plus open-graded permeable tarmac base course. Edging restraints are concrete-set block or metal, chosen to suit the property.

### Our methods
Every install is hand-trowelled by our own crew — no sprayed shortcuts, no sub-contracted labour. Mix ratios are timed to the second and only mixed when ambient temperature and forecast are within VUBA's specification. On-site forced-action mixer, dedicated pour teams, and immediate hand-float finishing prevent cold joints and surface flooding.

### Where it applies
Resin bound is the right call for modern new-builds, period property refurbishments where a clean contemporary look is wanted, sloped driveways where block paving would sink at joints, and any site where a SUDS-compliant permeable finish is required by planning. It's not the right call over a suspect base — we'll always tell you if excavation is needed rather than overlay.

### Residential vs commercial
Most of our resin bound work is residential driveways and patios across the West Midlands. We also install for small commercial forecourts, care-home driveways and lettings-agent portfolios where a low-maintenance, high-kerb-appeal surface pays back on every viewing.

### Variations of this service
DrivewaysFull driveway installs from single-car frontages up to sweeping in-and-out drives. Minimum 18mm depth over a fresh tarmac base for vehicle-load resistance.

Patios &amp; terracesRear garden patios and terraces at 15mm depth over a suitable base — perfect where a seamless surface is wanted between house and lawn.

Pathways &amp; side accessFront paths, side access strips and step treads. Ideal for tying a driveway visually into the rest of the property.

Overlays on sound tarmacWhere existing tarmac is structurally sound and level, we can prep, prime and overlay directly — a faster, lower-disruption option than full excavation.

10-year workmanship guarantee

Every resin bound install is fully insured and backed for 10 years in writing. In-house crew, no sub-contracting, staged payments available.

### Porcelain Driveways, Patios &amp; Pathways
Porcelain paving is a high-density vitrified tile designed for outdoor use — near-zero water absorption, frost-proof, stain-resistant and dimensionally accurate. It's laid on a full mortar bed with a priming slurry to bond the tile to the mortar, giving a flat, stable, long-life patio, driveway or path.

### Block Paving Driveways, Patios &amp; Pathways
Block paving is a system of pre-cast concrete or clay blocks laid over a compacted engineered sub-base, bedded in sharp sand, and locked in place with kiln-dried jointing sand. Done properly, it distributes vehicle load across the whole surface — no sunken tyre tracks, no rocking blocks, no failed edges.

### Gravel Driveways &amp; Pathways
A properly built gravel driveway is a compacted MOT type-1 sub-base, a weed-suppressant membrane, edge restraints all the way round, and a top layer of decorative gravel — often now laid over a plastic honeycomb grid to lock the stones in place.
