Installing Resin Driveway Drains in Brighton
For some properties, especially those below street level, it’s difficult to solve the drainage problem with correct driveway placement and the slope alone. In this situation, drainage grates and/or soakaways may need to be installed.
A trench drain, also known as a French drain in Brighton, can be fitted where the driveway meets the property to reduce the likelihood of flooding. Drains are covered by a metal grate to keep them free of debris that may cause the drain to clog.

Excellent work,in super fast time. Competitive price, great results. Would definitely, in fact I have recommended Firmbase to friends and family. They knocked down a front garden wall, rebuilt it. Took all rubble away, and filled in gap in drive with pavers, and left everything tidy and clean after. All in 2 days.Posted on Trustatrader
Ped11 March 2026Joseph was very knowledgeable, explaining options to me professionally and very quickly understood my requirements. Job was completed diligently and to a high standard. Turnaround was quick and process from quote to completion was seamless. Highly recommended if you want it done right first time.Posted on Trustatrader
Jasmine16 December 2025Absolutely amazed by the work completed by Joseph and his team at firmbase drives and patios, work was completed on time and everything was left clean and tidy. The attention and quality to detail was superb. Me and my husband can't thank you enough and will certainly highly recommend to friends and family and will definitely have them back for future work. Top tradesman THANK YOU...Posted on Trustatrader
Holly Silvester5 September 2025Really happy with the work by Firmbase driveways. The best value quote I was given by far and I can’t fault the work, the driveway looks amazing and was completed in less than a week despite many downpours. They were also incredibly fast at providing a quote and also starting the work, the service was excellent. I would advise anyone to just make sure you make it clear exactly what you want, as there is no consultation prior to work starting and it gets completed very quickly! We had a couple conversations as they began the work to explain some specifics and had absolutely no problems at all.Posted on Google

Very professional approach to the work which was begun on time and completed well ahead of schedule.Posted on TrustatraderEthan Smith29 March 2023Highly recommended Firmbase Drives & Patios. They are very professional and polite guy. Did a brilliant job. I have used them second time for my block paving.Posted on TrustatraderCharles Purle3 March 2023Patrick (Joseph) did our job so fast that unfortunately I didn't get a chance to confirm some changes I wished to make, which meant that the job he did while being very good wasn't actually the job I was hoping for. I would say Patrick knows how to put down a good patio, and we are very happy with his physical work. However, his company need to be more organised, making sure they have all the details from the client before starting work, and ensuring things have been agreed in writing before starting anything. The patio he has put down is excellent, but because of there being no pre-work meeting, I was not able to tell him that I wanted it to line up on both sides, which of course makes the patio less aesthetically pleasing, which is an important point about patios. When we met after to discuss, Patrick was not really getting that the lining up was important, but he did offer a £150 reduction, on top of a reduction we had already agreed.Posted on TrustatraderLouis Jensen7 February 2023Really satisfied for the work carried out by Joseph and the team I would highly recommend approve drives and patios okay with their machines they were very helpful they didn't disturb the neighbours they came at the right time finish at the right time and was very clean.

FAQs for Brighton Resin Driveways
Although they sound very similar in name, there are some crucial differences.
- Resin Bound Driveways
With this technique the resin and aggregate are mixed prior to application. The mixture is laid evenly and dries to a very solid and highly uniform finish and texture. There is with the added advantage of the drive remaining completely permeable, making it safer and longer lasting. - Resin Bonded Driveways
With this approach resin is applied over the driveway, followed by aggregate pressed into the upper surface. This can often lead to loose chippings and an uneven finish. There is the further disadvantage that water will no longer permeate the drive, leading to pooling on the surface.
At Firmbase Drives & Patios we offer all types of resin surfacing, although we consider the ‘Resin Bound’ approach to be superior.
Resin Bound driveways are water permeable, allowing water to pass through the small gaps between aggregates and resin. Resin bound systems also bring other benefits such as a smooth, flat finish and low maintenance. On the other hand, Resin Bonded (resin bond) driveways are non-permeable.
Costs will vary depending on the size of the driveway, the materials used and the time and labour costs involved. No two projects are the same. Please give us a call and we will be happy to provide a free site survey and quote and a timeframe for completion.
The best type of driveway depends on many factors. How long you want it to last, how much maintenance you are prepared to do, how you want it to look and how much traffic it will face.
We recommend Tarmac/Asphalt or Resin Bound if you want a hard-wearing yet attractive surface, with little maintenance needed.
Some driveway types require much more maintenance than others. If you’re looking for driveway material that needs little maintenance, then resin bound or Tarmac are your best options.
Resin bound driveways just need a hose clean and sweep to ensure the surface remains looking perfect.
Tarmacadam and asphalt don’t have the natural stone appearance of resin bound, but they typically last a very long time without any maintenance required.
The life expectancy of a resin bound driveway is over 15 years.
We say your new resin bound system is weed resistant rather than weed free. Whilst nothing will grow up through the surface, air born seedlings may land on top, causing a small amount of growth. We recommend applying a weed killer once or twice a year if this should happen.
