Those sweeping driveways leading up to Keston's Victorian villas deserve a surface that matches their grandeur. Modern resin bound technology brings together natural stone aggregates with clear resin, creating surfaces that drain freely whilst looking spectacular year-round.

Keston's mix of period homes and contemporary builds presents unique surfacing challenges. Heavy clay soils, mature tree roots, and those characteristically steep drives found throughout BR2 require careful consideration. Resin bound surfaces adapt beautifully to these conditions, offering flexibility where traditional paving might crack or shift. The permeable nature particularly suits properties near Keston Common, where surface water management matters.
Installation begins with thorough ground assessment - crucial given the area's varied topography. A stable sub-base gets laid first, typically incorporating drainage channels for hillside properties. The resin and aggregate mix is then trowelled to a smooth finish, usually 18mm thick. Unlike loose gravel that migrates onto Heathfield Road during heavy rain, this bound system stays put. The curing process takes just 4-6 hours, minimising disruption to busy households.
Local knowledge counts when dealing with Keston's specific ground conditions. Years spent working around Hayes and Farnborough mean understanding how tree preservation orders affect driveway installations, and which aggregate blends complement the area's architectural styles.

Most Keston driveways range from 80-150m², costing between £6,500-£12,000 including groundwork. Smaller pathway projects start around £2,000, while larger forecourts can reach £20,000 depending on complexity and existing surface condition.
Absolutely - from properties backing onto Keston Common to homes near the Greyhound pub, throughout BR2 and neighbouring areas including West Wickham borders and Locksbottom.
Preparation takes 2-3 days for most Keston properties, with the resin application completed in a single day. You're typically back on your drive within 24 hours of the final coat, weather permitting.
Each installation carries decade-long coverage against UV degradation, loose stones, and surface cracking. This warranty reflects the premium resins used - specifically chosen to withstand British weather extremes whilst maintaining colour integrity throughout the seasons.
Resin bound surfaces resist oil penetration far better than block paving or tarmac. Any spills sit on the surface initially, allowing quick cleanup with standard degreasers. The non-porous resin coating prevents deep staining that plagues traditional driveways.
