Our ProcessHOW WE INSTALL
HOW WE INSTALL
RESIN DRIVEWAYS.
01
Site Preparation
We excavate and prepare a solid sub-base with proper falls for drainage. This is the foundation of a long-lasting resin driveway.
02
Edging & Borders
We install granite or aluminium edging to contain the resin and give a clean, defined border to your driveway.
03
Resin Application
The aggregate and resin are mixed on-site and hand-trowelled to an even depth - typically 15-18mm for driveways.
04
Curing & Handover
The surface cures within 4-6 hours and is fully usable within 24 hours. We do a final walkthrough to make sure you're happy.

""You won't find me the cheapest," he said. And he wasn't. "But I am the best." And he was. He was obliging, brought lots of samples and spent time helping us to decide. Very happy with the paving, tarmac, and new lawn."

"I couldn't recommend Paul from Delaney Tarmac enough. Paul himself came out to discuss with us, went into every little detail and designed our dream patio, even better than we could have imagined. We also got our driveway tarmaced with the highest quality materials."

Common Questions
RESIN DRIVEWAY FAQ.
What is a resin bound driveway?+
A resin bound driveway is created by mixing natural aggregate stones with a clear UV-stable resin and hand-trowelling it onto a prepared surface. It creates a smooth, hard-wearing, fully permeable finish with no loose stones.
How long does a resin driveway last?+
A properly installed resin bound driveway will last 15-25 years. The UV-stable resin we use resists yellowing, cracking, and frost damage. With minimal maintenance, it will look great for decades.
Do I need planning permission for a resin driveway?+
Generally no, because resin bound surfaces are fully permeable (SuDS compliant), meaning rainwater drains through naturally. This exempts them from planning restrictions that apply to non-porous surfaces in most cases.
Is resin bound better than tarmac?+
Resin bound and tarmac serve different needs. Resin offers a more decorative, permeable finish with a wide range of colours. Tarmac is more cost-effective for larger areas and heavy vehicle use. We can help you decide which suits your property best during a free site visit.
How do you maintain a resin driveway?+
Resin driveways require very little maintenance. An occasional power wash keeps them looking fresh. No re-sealing or re-sanding is needed. Weeds cannot grow through the surface, and moss growth is minimal.
Can resin be laid over an existing tarmac driveway?+
In most cases, yes. If your existing tarmac base is sound, level and properly drained, we can overlay it with a resin bound finish in a single day. We assess the base during the site visit and let you know whether a full excavation is needed or whether an overlay will perform just as well.
What colours are available?+
Delaney Tarmac offers more than 30 Daltex aggregate colours, from cool silvers and contemporary greys to warm gold, terracotta red, cream and almost-black. Decorative options include diamond inlays, banded borders, contrasting kerb edging and custom inlays. Paul brings physical sample boards to every site visit.
