Downham homeowners want outdoor surfaces that look tidy year-round and cope with British weather. A resin bound finish gives a smooth, modern look while remaining permeable for drainage. We regularly work near Downham Fields and around BR1, creating crisp driveways, front paths and patio areas. The result is a clean, hard-wearing surface that complements both traditional and newer homes.
The Downham estate includes 1920s cottage homes, 1930s semis and plenty of post-war housing, often with practical front gardens and shared access points. We design resin bound surfaces for Downham area plots where space is tight and parking matters. Whether you’re improving a sloping drive towards Grove Park or refreshing a worn path near Bellingham, we tailor the build-up to suit the property. Colour and edging choices are selected to match brickwork, garden walls and existing paving.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels and drainage checks, then a clear written specification. We install a SuDS compliant, permeable system with a neat finish and strong edges for long-term stability. Every installation is backed by a 15-year guarantee, and we’re known locally for tidy working, clear communication and reliable aftercare. If you need repairs or a full replacement, we’ll advise honestly on the best route.
Working across the London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to mixed ground conditions and older sub-bases that need strengthening. Many Downham drives have limited access and on-street parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also account for falls and thresholds common on 1930s plots to keep water moving away from the house. Our resin bound surfaces in London Borough of Lewisham are specified to suit local drainage expectations and everyday use.

Costs in Downham typically range from about £80–£140 per m², depending on area size and preparation. Prices rise where old concrete or tarmac needs breaking out, where extra excavation is required, or where you need new edging and drainage details. Complex shapes, steps, and premium aggregate blends can also add to the total. We’ll measure up and provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Most resin bound jobs take 2–5 days on site, with the resin layer itself usually laid in a single day once the base is ready. Timescales depend on excavation depth, whether we’re installing a new permeable base, and the size and shape of the area. Weather can affect curing, especially in colder or very wet conditions. We’ll confirm access times and when you can walk or drive on it.
In many cases, a new or replacement driveway is permitted development, particularly when the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area. Resin bound systems are typically SuDS compliant when correctly specified, which helps. However, rules can vary with frontage changes, listed buildings, or special designations, and you may need permission for walls, gates or major alterations. We’ll advise during the survey and help you stay compliant.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation quality, including issues such as lifting, cracking from poor preparation, or edge failures caused by workmanship. Materials are installed to manufacturer guidance, and our resin systems are UV stable to help maintain colour. Your installation also comes with our 15-year guarantee for added peace of mind. We’ll explain what’s covered, care guidance, and how to keep the surface performing well.
You can choose from a wide colour range of natural aggregates, from warm golden tones to contemporary greys and darker blends. Popular options include contrasting borders, neat aluminium or stone edging, and seamless transitions to steps or existing paving. We can also create subtle patterns or highlight parking bays without harsh lines. We’ll bring samples, check how colours look against your home, and recommend the best finish for traffic and drainage.
