About Faringdon
Faringdon sits on a hill at the edge of the Vale of White Horse, with Folly Hill and its landmark tower overlooking the town. The centre is built mostly from local limestone - the Market Place, Gravel Walk and the streets around All Saints' Church are lined with stone cottages and townhouses, many with small front yards that were never designed for cars. Out towards Stanford Road, Edinburgh Drive and the estates built over the last twenty or so years, you get the usual mix of block paving and tarmac driveways that start looking tired after a decade or so.
Resin bound surfacing works well in both settings. On the older stone properties it can be laid in a buff or honey tone that picks up the colour of the local limestone, and on the newer estates it gives a tired block-paved drive a smooth, modern finish that drains well on the slopes around Folly Hill.

- Permeable & SuDS compliant - rainwater drains straight through rather than running off down the slopes around Folly Hill and onto the road.
- 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 local limestone 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."

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.
