Switch From Concrete to Resin Bound in Kent

Leave Concrete Behind

Plain concrete driveways were the default for decades, but they age poorly. Cracks spread, oil stains set in, weeds colonise every joint and the surface turns a patchy grey. Resin bound paving solves every one of those shortcomings in a single conversion. Kent Resin Driveways has helped homeowners across the county make the switch, delivering driveways that look better, drain better and require far less upkeep.

We convert driveways in Aylesford, Coxheath, West Malling, Snodland, Marden and across Kent. If your concrete driveway has served its time, a conversion is the logical next step.

Concrete Versus Resin Bound — The Case for Change

The comparison is straightforward:

• Drainage — resin bound is fully permeable; concrete sheds water, creating puddles and runoff.
• Weed resistance — resin bound is seamless with no joints; concrete cracks and gaps invite growth.
• Colour stability — UV stable resin holds its tone; concrete discolours and fades within years.
• Maintenance — resin bound needs only occasional sweeping; concrete demands sealing and crack repair.
• Appearance — resin bound offers natural stone finishes; concrete tends towards a utilitarian look.

A permeable resin surface also brings your driveway into SUDS compliance, which is especially relevant for front driveways where impermeable surfaces over five square metres can trigger planning requirements.

Two Routes to Conversion

The approach we take depends on the state of your concrete. Where the slab is structurally sound, we overlay the resin directly on top after cleaning, repairing and priming. This is the quickest and most economical option, typically finished in one to two days.

Where the concrete has failed — deep fractures, significant heave or widespread instability — we remove it, excavate to formation, lay a compacted sub base and pour a fresh tarmac or concrete regulating layer. The resin bound finish is then applied on top. The result is identical regardless of route: a smooth, permeable, weed-free driveway.

Selecting Your Finish

Choosing the aggregate colour is one of the most enjoyable parts of a conversion. We carry more than 40 natural stone blends spanning warm honey and terracotta tones through to cool silver and graphite shades. We bring sample boards to your property so you can compare options against your brickwork and front garden planting.

Contrasting border strips, decorative patterns and different edging profiles are all available. These design touches turn a functional surface into a feature that lifts the entire front of your home.
