Resin driveways have surged in popularity for domestic projects across Essex, including Romford, Ilford, Brentwood, Basildon, and Dagenham, providing a premium and aesthetically pleasing solution to homeowners. Despite the perception of resin bound stone surfacing as a high-cost option, its multitude of benefits such as quick application, SUDS compliance for permeability, anti-slip properties, durability, low maintenance needs, attractiveness, and a wide selection of color blends make it a valuable investment for property enhancement.
Acknowledging budget concerns, especially in comparison to alternatives like block paving and tarmac, we’ve outlined strategies to help you secure the best possible price for your resin driveway project without compromising on quality:
-
DIY Sub-base Preparation: If your property lacks a suitable base for a resin driveway, the initial costs can rise due to the need for excavation and new sub-base installation. Tackling the dig-out yourself could save up to £10.00 per square meter in preparatory expenses.
-
Repurpose Existing Materials: For those transitioning from block paving, consider repurposing these materials as edging for your new resin driveway. This not only breathes new life into your blocks but can also reduce costs by up to £7.00 per linear meter.
-
Opt for Non-UV Resin: Choosing a non-UV resin can be a cost-effective alternative without sacrificing the driveway’s appearance, especially for darker color schemes or commercial projects. This option can result in savings of over £5.00 per square meter, as discoloration from UV rays is less noticeable in darker hues.
Investing in a resin driveway not only elevates your property’s curb appeal but also offers a long-term, low-maintenance solution. By incorporating these cost-saving measures, homeowners in Essex and surrounding areas can enjoy the benefits of a resin driveway installer’s expertise and achieve outstanding results without stretching their budget.
