Community-trusted resin bound installers. Ethically driven, DC Trades verified, and locally based. Providing sustainable, high-durability surfacing across the Devon coast and interior.
At The Devon Resin Co., we don’t just "lay driveways"—we engineer durable surfaces. Our approach combines advanced material science with the traditional values of a family-first, locally-based team. With over 8 years of specialist experience, our in-house installers ensure every project meets a standard that generic builders simply cannot reach.
We utilise a forced action mixer for every installation to ensure a perfectly homogenous blend. This process eliminates "weak spots" and guarantees the structural integrity of the entire surface.
As a family-run business, our ethics drive our installations. We don't use subcontractors; our own team handles your project from first trowel to final cure, backed by nearly a decade of local reputation.
Explore our specialised resin bound surfacing options. From SUDS-compliant driveways to precision-contoured steps, each installation is engineered for Devon's unique landscape.
A high-performance resin surface is only as resilient as the engineering beneath it. We adhere to a multi-stage architectural process that ensures structural longevity, SUDS compliance, and aesthetic precision.
The process begins with the complete removal of organic matter and unstable debris. To ensure long-term stability, we install a high-tensile geotextile separation fabric beneath the sub-base. This critical layer prevents the migration of native Devon sub-soils into the clean aggregate, maintaining the structural and drainage integrity of the entire installation.
The foundation is the "engine room" of the driveway. We offer two primary specifications depending on your drainage requirements:
Standard Specification: A minimum 150mm depth of MOT Type 1 aggregate, distributed in uniform layers and mechanically consolidated using high-frequency vibrating plate compactors to eliminate future settlement.
Permeable (SUDS) Specification: For maximum water management, we utilise Open-Graded Porous Asphalt (OGPA) installed over a compacted MOT Type 3 sub-base, creating a fully permeable system that prevents surface runoff.
To ensure the resin matrix remains contained and structurally sound, we install heavy-duty edging—available in Architectural Aluminium, Galvanized Steel, or Pre-formed Concrete. Every edge is laser-leveled and securely haunched to provide a permanent, immovable boundary that resists lateral pressure and shifting.
The final phase involves the precision-blending of our UV-stable aliphatic resin with kiln-dried aggregates. Using a forced action mixer, we create a homogenous matrix that is hand-trowelled to a strict 20mm thickness. This results in a seamless, porous, and high-friction surface that is chemically bonded to the foundation for decades of service.
For many, a driveway is the largest investment made in a property. We respect that. Our "Duty of Care" protocol is designed to ensure that the installation process is as seamless and secure as the final surface itself. We don’t just show up and pour; we follow a rigorous three-stage protection audit.
Before a single bag of aggregate is opened, our team conducts a Site Risk Assessment. This includes:
Sub-Base Integrity Checks: Ensuring the foundation can handle the resin-bound load.
Property Masking: Protecting your brickwork, damp-proof courses, and surrounding foliage from resin splash.
Logistics Planning: Coordinating vehicle movements to ensure minimal disruption to your neighbors and the local Devon community.
Our own installation team (no subcontractors) carries out live checks during every phase:
Batch Consistency: Monitoring the forced action mixer cycles for uniform resin-to-aggregate distribution.
Environmental Audits: Checking humidity and ground temperature to ensure the pot life and curing process are chemically optimized for the day’s weather.
Site Safety: Maintaining a clean, secure perimeter to keep residents and pets safe from the workspace.
Once the trowelling is complete, we perform a final walk-through and audit:
Slip-Resistance Verification: Ensuring the high-friction profile is correctly applied for immediate safety.
Edge-Bond Inspection: Checking the structural seal at every boundary and transition point.
Post-Cure Cleanse: Removing all protective masking and ensuring your property is left in pristine condition—with only the new surface to show we were there.
The investment varies based on the existing substrate. We specialise in two primary methods:
When installed to our 20mm technical specification, a resin-bound surface is engineered to last in excess of 25 years. With minimal maintenance—such as occasional power washing to keep the pores clear—the UV-stable binders ensure the surface remains flexible and vibrant for decades.
We offer a comprehensive palette with over 200 aggregate variations. Whether you are looking for a "heritage" flint to match a Devon cottage or a contemporary silver-grey for a modern build, we can customize a blend to match your specific aesthetic.
Most residential projects are completed within 1 to 2 days. The timeline depends on the total square meterage and the level of "pre-prep" required for the sub-base. Because we use our own dedicated installation team, we maintain tight schedules and minimize disruption to your home.
We stand behind our engineering with a dual-layered warranty:
