Why Croydon Homeowners Choose Resin Driveways
Croydon's position as one of South London's largest boroughs means properties here face unique challenges. The heavy footfall around areas like the Whitgift Centre and North End, combined with London's unpredictable weather, demands a driveway solution that's both durable and visually striking. Resin bound driveways have become the preferred choice for Croydon residents, offering a seamless, permeable surface that handles everything from summer heatwaves to winter frosts without cracking, fading, or developing unsightly weeds.
For homeowners in conservation areas such as parts of South Croydon and Addiscombe, our resin driveways offer a significant advantage. Because resin bound surfaces are fully permeable and comply with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) regulations, you typically won't need planning permission from Croydon Council. This means you can transform your tired concrete or tarmac driveway into a beautiful resin surface without the hassle of lengthy planning applications.

Premium Materials for Croydon's Climate
We exclusively use UV-stable resins and kiln-dried aggregates sourced from trusted UK suppliers. This is particularly important for properties along Croydon's sunnier south-facing streets, where inferior products can yellow or fade within just a few years. Our premium materials maintain their colour and structural integrity for decades, backed by our comprehensive 10-year warranty that covers both materials and workmanship.
The aggregate selection process is where your driveway truly becomes unique. Whether you prefer the classic elegance of silver granite to complement a period property in Shirley, or the warm golden tones of Brittany Bronze for a modern home near Croydon University Hospital, we offer over 40 different aggregate colours and blends. Our design consultants will visit your Croydon property with physical samples, helping you visualise the finished result against your home's brickwork, window frames, and landscaping.
The Installation Process
Every resin driveway installation in Croydon begins with a thorough site survey. We assess your existing surface, check for drainage issues common in areas like Waddon and Broad Green, and discuss your requirements in detail. For properties with sloped driveways—common in hilly areas like Upper Norwood and Crystal Palace borders—we calculate the precise gradient to ensure proper water runoff and a flawless finish.
Our installation teams are fully trained, DBS-checked, and experienced in working on Croydon's residential streets. We understand the importance of minimising disruption to you and your neighbours, typically completing a standard driveway within 2-3 days. We always lay protective sheeting, maintain clear access to your property, and leave your site spotless upon completion.
Resin Driveway Costs in Croydon
The cost of a resin driveway in Croydon depends on several factors: the total area, condition of the existing base, your chosen aggregate, and any additional features like lighting or edging. As a guide, most Croydon homeowners invest between £60-£100 per square metre for a complete resin bound installation. For a typical two-car driveway (approximately 40-50m²), you can expect a total investment of £2,400-£5,000, including all preparation, materials, and installation.
Unlike many contractors, we never ask for deposits. You only pay once your new driveway is complete and you're 100% satisfied with our work. We also offer flexible payment options for larger projects, making it easier to achieve the driveway of your dreams without financial strain.
