Resin Bound Driveways · Bicester & Surrounding Villages
A Resin Driveway That Looks Good, and Stays That Way.
Smooth, permeable, and virtually maintenance-free. M&C Paving installs resin bound driveways across Bicester and the surrounding villages, laid on a properly prepared base, backed by the 10-Year M&C Workmanship Guarantee. No sinking. No drainage problems.
Why Resin Is the Most Popular Choice in Bicester Right Now
Resin bound surfacing has overtaken block paving as the most requested driveway surface, and it's not hard to see why. The finish is smooth and seamless, the colour range is wide enough to complement any property, and once it's down it needs almost no maintenance.
It's also fully permeable. Water drains through the surface rather than running off, which means planning permission isn't required for most residential driveways. Because the aggregate is bound together in a flexible resin matrix, it doesn't crack, doesn't loosen, and doesn't migrate.
The key is installation. Resin has to go onto a solid, properly prepared base, and the base preparation is where the difference between a good installation and a failed one is made.
At M&C, we assess the existing ground conditions before quoting, and every resin installation we do starts with groundwork done to the correct specification. That's what the 10-Year Guarantee against sinking and drainage problems is built on.
• WHY RESIN Driveways WITH M&C in Bicester
What Makes the Difference
The Proper Sub-base Is Everything
A resin surface is only as good as what it's laid on. We don't skip the groundwork. Correct excavation depth, well-compacted base material, and accurate drainage falls, every time.
Wide Choice of Colours and Aggregates
From warm natural tones to contemporary greys and silvers, we'll help you find a colour and aggregate blend that works with your property. We can bring samples to the site visit.
Fully Permeable, No Planning Permission Needed
Resin bound surfacing allows water to drain through naturally, which means planning permission is not required for most residential driveways. We'll confirm this for your specific property at the quoting stage.
Low Maintenance, Long Life
Once laid correctly, a resin bound driveway needs virtually no maintenance. No weeding, no re-sanding, no sealing. It should look good for well over a decade.
10-Year M&C Workmanship Guarantee
Every resin driveway we install is covered by the 10-Year M&C Workmanship Guarantee. No sinking. No drainage problems. If something isn't right within ten years, we'll put it right.
Groundwork Documented
We photograph the sub-base before covering it over. You can see exactly what's underneath your new driveway.
Site Visit & Quote
We visit your property, assess the existing surface and ground conditions, discuss colour and aggregate options with you, and provide a written quote covering every element of the job. No vague estimates. No obligation.
01
Groundwork Done Properly
If the existing base isn't adequate, we excavate and relay it correctly. This is the most important stage of the job, the one where installation quality is won or lost. We document the groundwork so you can see exactly what's underneath your new surface.
02
Resin Application & Handover
The resin bound surface is mixed, applied to the prepared base, edged accurately, and finished to a consistent depth and texture. Most installations are completed within one to two days once groundwork is done. The job is not signed off until you're satisfied with the result.

A Recent Resin Driveway in Bicester
M&C Paving installed a block paving driveway at this address 28 years ago! When the customer called to ask about
updating to a resin driveway, we were glad to help. You can see from the picture, other than needing a bit of a clean, this driveway was still going strong 28 years after we installed it. No sinking or any other issues.
Jim installed our drive 28 years ago and we were very happy to hear he is still in business. He was the obvious choice to update our drive to resin.

We didn't hesitate in getting them back in when we wanted to get the rest of the garden paved - especially as we also wanted a new (resin) driveway at the same time! Very pleased with the end results and would definitely recommend!

• FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Resin Driveway Questions Answered
How much does a resin driveway cost in Bicester?
The cost depends on the size of the area, the existing ground conditions, and the aggregate blend you choose. Most residential resin driveways in Bicester range from £3,500 to £10,000. The only way to give you an accurate figure is to see the site, which is why we offer a free, no-obligation visit. We'll give you a written price that covers everything.
How long does a resin driveway last?
When installed on a correctly prepared base, a resin bound driveway should last 15–25 years or more. The surface itself is durable, what determines longevity is what's underneath. Our 10-year guarantee against sinking and drainage problems is the practical expression of that.
Does resin get slippery when wet?
No. The aggregate surface provides good grip in wet conditions, it's one of the reasons resin bound surfacing is used on public pathways and access routes. The texture remains consistent whether the surface is wet or dry.
Do I need planning permission for a resin driveway?
For most residential properties, no. Resin bound surfacing is fully permeable, water drains through it naturally rather than running off. This satisfies the permitted development requirements for front garden driveways in most cases. We'll confirm the position for your specific property at the quoting stage.
Can resin be laid over an existing driveway?
Sometimes, but it depends on the condition of the existing surface and what's underneath. If the base is sound and level, an overlay may be possible. If there are existing drainage or settlement issues, those need to be addressed first or they'll transfer to the new surface. We'll assess this honestly at the site visit.
How long does it take to install?
Most residential resin driveways are completed within one to two days once groundwork is finished. We'll give you a clear timeline at the quoting stage.
