About Cirencester
Cirencester is often called the capital of the Cotswolds, and it earns the title - it was once Corinium, the second-largest town in Roman Britain, and the street layout around the Market Place and the parish church still follows lines laid down centuries ago. The town centre and areas like Chesterton and the streets off Victoria Road have a lot of Cotswold stone terraces and cottages, often with small gravel or paved front areas that have seen better days. On the outskirts, newer developments around Kingshill and Chesterton have been adding modern homes for years, usually finished with plain block paving drives straight from the builder.
Whether you're trying to match a period stone frontage or want to replace tired block paving on a newer estate, resin bound surfacing gives a clean, permeable finish that copes well with the limestone-based soil typical of this part of Gloucestershire and looks right at home against Cotswold stone.

- Permeable & SuDS compliant - rainwater drains through the surface rather than pooling, which helps on the limestone-based ground found across Cirencester and the wider Cotswolds.
- Long-lasting - a properly installed resin bound driveway can last 20-25 years or more with very little maintenance.
- Low maintenance - no weeds, no loose stones, and no re-sanding. An occasional sweep and rinse keeps it looking new.
- Wide range of colours - choose from buff, grey, charcoal, brown and feature blends to complement Cotswold stone or render.
- Smooth, slip-resistant finish - comfortable underfoot and safer in wet or icy weather than gravel or block paving.
Our Guarantee
Every resin driveway, pathway or patio we install comes with a 10-year workmanship guarantee covering the installation itself, plus a 15-year supplier guarantee on the resin system. That's not a figure we picked because it sounds good - it reflects what a correctly installed resin bound surface is actually expected to last.
The guarantees are only worth something if the groundwork is right. That's why every job starts with a proper site assessment, and we'll always tell you upfront if the existing base needs more work before resin goes down - rather than cutting corners and hoping for the best.

What Our Customers Say
Homeowners across Swindon and the surrounding area on what it's like to work with RPS Resin Driveways.
"Had the old cracked tarmac ripped up and resin put down in its place. The team came out, gave us a quote the same day, and were back the following week to start. Two days from start to finish and the driveway looks completely different to anything else on the street. Really pleased with it."
Gary W
Park North, Swindon
"We'd been living with the standard concrete drive the developer left us with for two years. RPS came out, looked at what we already had, and said it was sound enough to go over without a full dig. That saved us a fair bit of money. The buff colour we chose looks really clean with the red brick."
Sarah & Mark T
Wichelstowe, Swindon
"Got resin on the back patio rather than the driveway. The quote was clear, no surprises on the day, and they tidied up properly when they left. The surface is easy to keep clean - just a brush off and a rinse and it's done."
Rachel H
Old Town, Swindon
"RPS were recommended by a neighbour. They visited, explained exactly what they'd do and why, and the price was fair. The groundwork took a day because an old concrete base needed cutting out in one corner, but they told us about that upfront. Happy with the result."
Dave & Linda M
Chippenham
"Third resin driveway I've had in different houses over the years, and this was the best experience of the three. Clear communication, showed up when they said they would, and the finish is tidy. The sub-base felt very solid - you could tell they didn't rush it."

Do I need planning permission for a resin driveway in Cirencester?

How long does a resin driveway installation take in Cirencester?
Most residential jobs take 1-3 days depending on the size and how much groundwork is needed. We'll confirm the expected timeline in your written quote before any work starts.
Can resin be laid over my existing driveway in Cirencester?
Often yes, if the existing base is structurally sound and free from significant cracking or movement. We assess this on every site visit and will tell you upfront if the base needs more preparation first.
