Does the Listed Price of Resin Bound Paving Include Installation?

← Back to What is the price of resin bound paving?

When considering resin bound paving, it’s essential to understand what the advertised price actually covers—whether it includes both materials and fitting, or just the product itself. This will help you accurately budget your project and avoid surprises down the line.

Material Cost vs. Installation Fees

The price you see for resin bound paving kits or binders typically reflects the materials only. This covers the resin, aggregate, and any included guides or instructions, for example with the “Flowstone” Complete Permeable Floor Kit. Labour costs for installation are not included in these listed prices. If you’re tackling a larger area or want a professional finish, hiring a specialist installer will add a separate, often significant, fee to your project cost.

DIY vs. Professional Installation

If you have experience with DIY projects and are working on a smaller area like a garden path or patio, you might consider laying your resin bound surface yourself. Kits such as “Flowstone” or polyurethane binders like “Polirock” come with detailed instructions to support DIY applications. However, professional installation is recommended for driveways, high-traffic surfaces, or when ensuring drainage and surface performance is critical. Professionals bring expertise in site preparation, mixing, and finishing to maximise durability and appearance.

When This Matters Most

Understanding the difference becomes crucial when comparing quotes or making a purchase decision. If you’re seeking an easy-to-install kit for a quick DIY upgrade, material price is your primary concern. For larger or high-traffic projects, factor in the extra cost of skilled installation to avoid hidden expenses and ensure the finished surface meets expectations.
