Meet the team behind your project." canonical: "https://www.huntingdonresindriveways.co.uk/about" lastmod: "2026-10-05T11:51:36.636Z" --- # About Huntingdon Resin Driveways We take enquiries from property owners and schedule an assessment, a quote, and the work, done correctly. ## Resin driveways around Huntingdon need more than a simple overlay Heavy Oxford clay and flood-plain drainage rules mean the groundwork matters as much as the finish. The ground across Huntingdon, Godmanchester, St Ives, and Brampton is predominantly Oxford clay. It swells when wet and shrinks when dry. A resin surface laid without proper excavation and a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base will crack and puddle within a few winters. Streets close to the Great Ouse also sit within flood-plain drainage zones, which adds SuDS permeable-surface requirements that affect how a front driveway must be specified. Our role is to take the guesswork out of that process. We take your enquiry and schedule a survey that accounts for the ground conditions here, with every stage of the work quoted clearly. Tell us the size of the area, what is down there now: bare hardcore, old tarmac, concrete, block paving, and how it currently drains. We schedule a site visit to assess the existing base and advise whether an overlay will hold or whether the surface needs taking up before anything is priced. Every quotation lists excavation, sub-base, drainage, and the UV-stable resin bound finish as separate line items rather than one combined figure. That means you can see exactly what each stage costs and why it is needed. Overlay suitability is confirmed at survey stage, so the scope does not shift once work begins. SuDS compliance and any planning permission requirements for front driveways over five square metres are checked as part of the same visit. Whether the job is a cracked frontage in Godmanchester, a puddling driveway in Brampton, or a new-build plot at Alconbury Weald left as bare hardcore, the process is the same: describe the job, we schedule the survey, the quote covers each line of work, and you decide whether to proceed. ## Resin Driveways Done Right From the Ground Up ### Our Mission We exist to take the guesswork out of resin surfacing for property owners in and around Huntingdon, with the base assessed, drainage checked, and every line of work quoted clearly. - **Transparency**: Every quote lists excavation, sub-base, drainage, and resin finish as separate line items. - **Specificity**: Base condition, drainage falls, and clay depth are assessed before any price is given. - **Accuracy**: Overlay suitability is confirmed at survey so the scope does not change once work starts. - **Compliance**: SuDS permeable-surface rules and planning requirements are checked as part of every survey. ## From first enquiry to itemised quote Four straightforward steps between describing your driveway and receiving a clear, line-by-line price. 1. **Describe the Job**: Tell us the area size, what surface is down there now, and how it drains. A photo of the existing surface helps the specialist prepare. 2. **Arrange a Survey**: We schedule a site visit that assesses the base, checks drainage falls, and measures excavation depth needed. 3. **Review the Quote**: You receive an itemised quotation covering excavation, MOT Type 1 sub-base, channel drainage if required, and the resin bound finish separately. 4. **Confirm & Schedule**: Once you are happy with the scope and price, the specialist schedules the work around a suitable weather window for curing.

No. Huntingdon [Resin Driveways](https://www.huntingdonresindriveways.co.uk/) is a service brand. We take your enquiry, schedule the survey and the itemised quotation. On-site installation is a separate step. ### Why does the quote list excavation and sub-base separately? A single combined figure makes it impossible to see whether the groundwork has been properly costed. Listing excavation, MOT Type 1 sub-base, drainage, and resin finish as separate lines means you can check each stage and compare quotes on a like-for-like basis. ### Does my front driveway need planning permission? A non-permeable surface over five square metres on a front driveway typically requires planning permission under permitted development rules. Resin bound surfacing is permeable and usually exempt, but the specialist confirms SuDS compliance and any planning requirements at the survey visit. ### What happens if I delay replacing a cracked or puddling driveway? Oxford clay movement continues through each wet-dry cycle. Existing cracks widen, water tracks under the surface, and the sub-base deteriorates further. A surface that could have been overlaid may eventually need a full dig-out, which costs significantly more than acting earlier. ### Can resin be laid over my existing tarmac or concrete? Sometimes, but not always. The specialist checks whether the existing surface is structurally sound, level, and draining correctly. If it is cracked, uneven, or sitting on inadequate foundations, an overlay will not hold and a dig-out is recommended before any price is agreed. ## Tell Us About Your Driveway Describe the area, what is down there now, and how it drains.
