Read customer reviewsResin bound driveways across Somerset need more than a smart final surface. From the Levels and coastal towns to older rural properties, the base, falls and drainage decide whether the installation performs properly.
A great driveway starts underneath the surface: proper sub-base preparation, drainage and edge restraints before the finish goes down.
Somerset resin driveway considerations
Low-lying areas around the Somerset Levels and flat plots near Burnham-on-Sea, Highbridge and Bridgwater need drainage designed from the start. That may mean a permeable build-up, controlled falls, ACO channels or a combination of details.
Older properties and rural driveways often need a full excavation rather than a cosmetic overlay. We only recommend resin overlays where the existing concrete or tarmac is stable, sound and at workable levels.
If you are comparing resin resurfacing in Somerset with a full resin bound surfacing installation, the site visit should confirm whether the current base can stay or whether rebuilding it is the better long-term answer.
Coastal exposure around Burnham-on-Sea, Brean, Weston-super-Mare and the wider North Somerset coast also affects blend choice, UV-stable resin decisions and aftercare advice.

Choose the right installation for your property
Full resin driveway installation
Where the existing surface or levels are not suitable, we excavate, remove waste, build a compacted sub-base and install a suitable binder course before the resin bound finish is laid.
Resin overlay where the base is genuinely sound
A resin overlay can be good value over stable concrete or tarmac, but only where cracks, movement, drainage and finished levels have been checked first.
Drainage, edging and recessed covers
Falls, ACO channels, solid edge restraints and recessed manhole covers are specified with the surface so the finished driveway works as well as it looks.
A permeable resin surface needs a suitable base and water route. Depending on the survey, the specification may use a permeable sub-base and concrete or tarmac base, or retain suitable existing concrete or tarmac for an overlay. An overlay does not make an impermeable base permeable: falls and drainage still need to be planned.
From survey to handover
- 1. Survey and agree the specification.
Check the existing base, dimensions, access, levels and drainage. Agree the finish and written quotation before work starts.
- 2. Prepare and install.
Carry out the agreed groundwork, base preparation, edging and drainage, then install the selected surface to its specification.
- 3. Protect and hand over.
Confirm when the surface can be used, taking account of the material and conditions, and explain cleaning and aftercare.
Qualifying full resin-bound installations can receive 10 years' workmanship cover. Resin overlays normally receive 3 years' cover for Quantock's preparation and application workmanship; the inherited base is not placed under guarantee. Read the workmanship terms and exclusions.

Resin Bound in Somerset - common questions
Is resin bound suitable for low-lying Somerset properties?
Yes, where drainage is specified properly. On flat or flood-sensitive plots we pay close attention to falls, ACO channels and whether a permeable base is genuinely suitable.
Do Somerset resin driveways need a full dig-out?
Some do and some do not. A sound existing tarmac or concrete base may be suitable for an overlay, but cracked, sunken or moving surfaces need reconstruction.
