Blackheath homeowners choose resin bound for its clean lines, smart kerb appeal and practical performance in all seasons. Around Blackheath Village and Blackheath Common, it complements both traditional landscaping and contemporary front gardens. The surface is permeable, helping rainwater drain through rather than pooling. For SE3 properties, it’s a tidy, long-lasting upgrade for driveways, paths and courtyard areas.
We regularly work across the resin bound surfaces Blackheath area, including Greenwich, Lee, Lewisham and Kidbrooke. Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and period conversions often need finishes that respect original detailing while improving everyday usability. Resin bound is ideal where you want a smoother surface for prams, bikes and wheelie bins without the loose-stone mess of gravel. Colour and edging choices can be tailored to brickwork, railings and boundary walls.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and a clear recommendation for the right base build-up. We install a SuDS compliant, weed-resistant surface with a smooth finish, then leave the area clean and ready to use. You’ll have a 15-year guarantee on the resin bound surface for peace of mind. Local clients value our punctual scheduling, careful preparation and straightforward communication from start to finish.
Working in the resin bound surfaces in Royal Borough of Greenwich/London Borough of Lewisham means planning for restricted access, controlled parking and careful waste removal. Many Blackheath streets have mature trees, so we allow for root zones and leaf fall when detailing edges and drainage. Period properties near The Paragon often have tight front gardens and steps, so we design levels for safe thresholds. We also factor in local sub-base conditions to prevent movement and cracking.

In Blackheath, resin bound surfacing typically ranges from about £90–£140 per m², depending on access, ground preparation and edging details. If an existing driveway needs excavation, a new sub-base, or drainage adjustments for SuDS compliance, costs can rise to around £140–£200 per m². Smaller areas sometimes cost more per m² due to set-up and material minimums. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most resin bound paths and small front gardens are completed in 1–2 days once the base is ready. A typical driveway usually takes 2–4 days, depending on excavation, sub-base installation and any edging or step work. The resin surface itself is laid in a day, but preparation is crucial. Weather, access for machinery, and curing time can affect the schedule, especially during colder or wetter periods.
Often, resin bound surfacing is permitted development for front gardens and driveways because it is permeable and can be SuDS compliant. However, rules can vary if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if you’re altering levels near boundaries or the highway. We’ll advise on the likely requirements for the Royal Borough of Greenwich or the London Borough of Lewisham and can help you check any constraints before work begins.
We provide a 15-year guarantee on our resin bound surface installation, covering workmanship and material performance under normal residential use.
