Resin Driveways FAQs
What is a Vuba resin driveway or Vuba driveways?
A Vuba resin driveway is a high-quality resin bound surface system using aggregate (stone, gravel, crushed rock) mixed with a clear UV-stable resin supplied by Vuba. The mixture is laid and trowelled to create a smooth, seamless, permeable surface that resists loose chippings. It’s one of the top options in resin driveways.
How long does it take to install a resin driveway or Vuba driveway?
Typically, installation of a resin driveway in Leicester takes 1–2 days, depending on size and site conditions. Because the resin dries quickly, the driveway is usually ready for use the next day.
How durable is a Vuba resin driveway?
Quite durable. When installed correctly, a Vuba resin driveway can last 15+ years with minimal wear. It withstands freeze/thaw cycles, vehicle traffic, and weather. Durability depends on proper base preparation, thickness, and drainage.
What colours, finishes or aggregates are available?
We offer a wide range of stone colours, aggregate sizes, and finishes (e.g. natural, decorative mixes). This allows you to customise your resin driveways Leicester to match your home and style preferences.
What is the difference between resin bound and resin bonded driveways?
Resin bound uses a mix of aggregate + resin and is trowelled flush, with the stones fully encapsulated; this is what we install under “resin installations.” Resin bonded has loose stones laid over a thin resin coat, which can lead to loose chippings over time. We specialise in resin bound driveways (Vuba resin installations), which are more durable and low maintenance.
Is the surface permeable / does it meet drainage regulations?
Yes. A properly installed resin bound driveway Leicester is permeable, allowing water to drain through to a sub-base (SUDS compliant). This helps prevent surface pooling and meets many local authority drainage requirements.
Can you lay a resin driveway over my existing surface?
Yes, in many cases we can install a resin bound driveway Leicester over existing concrete or asphalt, provided the base is stable and in good condition. We assess your driveway during our site survey to confirm feasibility.
Will the resin driveway crack or sink over time?
If properly installed over a stable sub-base and drainage structure, a resin bound driveway is very stable. However, if the underlying foundation is weak, or drainage is inadequate, issues like settlement or edge delamination could occur. We ensure proper sub-base depth and compaction as part of our resin installations.
Can you install a Vuba resin bound driveway in Leicester?
Yes. We provide resin bound driveway installations in Leicester and surrounding Leicestershire. We are an approved Vuba installer and tailor the solution to local conditions.
What maintenance is required for Vuba resin driveways / resin driveways?
Very little. Regular sweeping or rinsing with a hose is usually sufficient. You may occasionally remove leaves or dirt build-up. The material is designed to resist weeds, frost damage, and UV degradation.
What is the cost of a resin or Vuba resin driveway?
Costs vary by size, complexity, access, base work required, and colour choice. During our site survey we’ll provide a tailored quote. That said, Vuba resin driveways tend to command a premium over lower-quality resin systems because of their quality and longevity.
