1. How Long Do Resin Driveways Last?
Resin driveways are built to last. With proper care, your driveway can stay pristine for 25+ years. Unlike concrete, resin doesn’t crack or loosen, so you’ll never deal with weeds or stray stones. At Permeable Driveways, we back our work with a 20-year guarantee – because your peace of mind matters.
2. How Much Does a Resin Driveway Cost?
Every project is unique, but here’s a ballpark:
  • 20m² Driveway: from £65 per m²
  • 50m² Driveway: £55–£120 per m²
  • 100m² Driveway: £45–£100 per m²

3. How Do You Clean a Resin Driveway?
Resin driveways are famously low-maintenance, but a little care goes a long way:
  • Weekly: Sweep with a stiff outdoor brush to remove debris and prevent moss.
  • Deep Clean: Use a jet washer (<150bar pressure) for stubborn dirt.
Jet Washing Tips:
  1. Sweep first to remove loose debris.
  2. Use mild water temperature (no extremes).
  3. Hold the nozzle 20cm away and spray in sweeping motions.
  4. Test detergents on a small area first.
Pro Tip: Avoid high-pressure or harsh chemicals to keep your driveway looking new.
4. How Are Resin Driveways Installed?
Our 4-step process ensures a flawless, long-lasting finish:
1. Preparation
  • We assess your existing driveway and excavate if needed.
  • A stable, porous sub-base is created using 175mm of compacted hardcore and 60-70mm of permeable concrete or tarmac.
2. Grid System (If Needed)
  • For added stability and drainage, we install an innovative grid system.
  • The grid is filled with gravel to create a porous layer that prevents puddles.
3. Resin Application
  • Our team hand-trowels a custom resin mixture for a smooth, even finish.
  • Every detail is crafted with precision to match your design.
4. Final Touches
  • Once cured, your driveway is ready to use – no waiting weeks like concrete.
