What Is a Resin Bound Driveway?
A resin bound driveway is created by mixing natural stone aggregate with UV-stable resin, then hand-laying it onto a prepared base to form a smooth, hard-wearing and fully permeable surface.
Unlike loose gravel or resin-bonded coatings:
- No loose stones
- No puddling
- No weed growth
- Non-slip finish
- Fully SUDS compliant
It delivers the look of luxury with the performance of infrastructure.
Why Resin Is the UK's Premium Surface
Used across the UK by:
- Local authorities
- Housing developers
- Schools and academies
- NHS estates
- High-end residential properties
Because it provides:
- Excellent drainage
- Minimal maintenance
- Long lifespan
- Clean, modern appearance
- No loose chippings
Planning Permission Note: It is one of the very few driveway systems that meets UK Sustainable Drainage (SUDS) regulations — meaning most installations do not require planning permission.
Why Core Facilities Group Is Different
Most resin installers are:
A van, a mixer and a Facebook page.
Core Facilities Group is:
A Gloucestershire-based facilities management company with over 150 staff and a genuine national footprint.
What that means for you:
- Fully insured UK company
- VAT registered
- Health & Safety systems
- RAMS & compliance
- Trained operatives
- Contract-grade workmanship
- Real warranties backed by a real business
“When we install your resin driveway, you’re not dealing with a temporary contractor — you’re contracting with Core Facilities Group Ltd.”
5-Year Workmanship Guarantee
This guarantees your surface will not fail due to:
- Poor base construction
- Delamination
- Raveling (loose stones)
- Incorrect resin mixing
- Installation defects
Real Guarantee, Real Backing
If the surface fails because of how we built it, we fix it. This is a legally enforceable UK guarantee, backed by an established national company — not a marketing promise.

SUDS Compliant — No Planning Permission in Most Cases
Resin-bound surfaces are fully permeable, allowing rainwater to drain through into the ground below.
This makes them compliant with UK SUDS drainage regulations, which in most cases means:
- No planning permission required for new driveways
- Environmentally responsible drainage
We confirm this during your free site survey.
