Long-Lasting, Easy-Care Resin Bound Driveways For Residential And Commercial Properties
RPS Resin Driveways installs resin bound driveways, pathways and patios for homeowners in Cricklade, from the stone cottages along the High Street and Horsey Down to the newer housing off Calcutt Street and the Chelworth Road developments. Resin is a good match for the town's older properties, giving a tidy, traditional-looking finish that doesn't fight with stone walls and gardens, while on newer plots it replaces standard block paving with a surface that copes far better with rain running off towards the Thames.

About Cricklade
Cricklade is one of the oldest towns in Wiltshire, sitting right on the upper Thames where the river is little more than a stream. The High Street and the streets running off it - Calcutt Street, Horsey Down, Abingdon Court Lane - are lined with stone and brick cottages, many dating back a couple of hundred years, with narrow frontages and small front gardens. Just outside the centre, estates such as those off Chelworth Road and the more recent builds towards the water park have brought in larger plots with proper driveways and double garages.
Being so close to the river and the lakes of the Cotswold Water Park, drainage is something people in Cricklade tend to think about more than most. Resin bound surfacing is permeable, so rainwater soaks through rather than pooling on the drive or running off towards the road, and it can be laid in stone-toned blends that sit comfortably alongside the town's older buildings.

- Permeable & SuDS compliant - rainwater drains straight through rather than running off towards the Thames and the surrounding water meadows, which matters for low-lying parts of Cricklade.
- 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 match stone cottages or modern brick.
- 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."
