A 100m² resin driveway (three to six cars) costs £3,500 to £10,000 on published UK cost-guide rates.

Typical shape: a wide in-and-out frontage, or a drive plus a turning area.

## Why this size, specifically

The size with the most published data and the widest spread: £3,500 at one end, £10,000 at the other, for the same nominal job. It is also where MyBuilder contradicts itself — its headline rate of £40 to £70 per m² would put 100m² at £4,000 to £7,000, but its own worked answer for 100m² is £6,000 to £10,000.

## What the guides publish for this size
- **HomeHow** — £3,500 – £4,000 (stated total for a 100m² three-car drive)
- **MyBuilder** — £6,000 – £10,000 (stated answer to how much a 100m² resin bound driveway costs)
- **Checkatrade** — £10,000 (stated total for a 100m² large drive)

## The cheapest rate per m², and the biggest total

Every guide that tiers by size agrees the per-m² rate falls: Checkatrade drops labour from £70 per m² at 20m² to £30 per m² at 100m², and HomeHow drops the all-in rate from £50–£65 to £35–£40. A large drive is the best value per m² you can buy and still the largest cheque.

## Groundwork is where five-figure quotes come from

At 100m², excavation and a new sub-base together run £2,500 to £5,000 on the published rates. That single line is most of the gap between the bottom and top of the range — before anyone argues about aggregate.

## Drainage is more likely to be required

HomeHow lists a large driveway, or covering a previously permeable area, among the triggers for a council requiring a soakaway or other SuDS feature. At 100m² that is a live question rather than a theoretical one, and a soakaway is £660 to £1,200 on top.

## Three to five days on site

MyJobQuote puts 90m² at three to five days and £1,600 to £2,600 of labour. Plan for a week of no parking, and for the surface being off limits to vehicles for 72 hours after that.

## Groundwork and extras

These are the lines that decide whether a resin drive costs £2,000 or £6,000. Only MyBuilder itemises them; the other guides fold them into the per-m² rate or leave them out entirely.

| Item | Published cost | Source | What drives it |

| --- | --- | --- | --- |

| Excavate and remove the existing surface | £10 – £20 per m² | MyBuilder | Varies with site conditions and how easily a machine and a grab lorry can reach the drive. |

| New Type 1 MOT sub-base | £15 – £30 per m² | MyBuilder | Needed whenever the existing base is broken up, or there was never one. Resin laid on a bad base fails at the edges first. |

| Removing an existing resin driveway | £800 – £1,800 whole job | MyJobQuote | Quoted as a whole-job figure rather than per m². |

| Edging or borders | £15 – £40 per linear metre | MyBuilder | Resin bound has to be laid up to a firm edge. With walls or an existing kerb you may need none of this; an open drive needs it all the way round. |

| Drainage improvement | £300 – £1,000 whole job | MyBuilder | Only needed where the ground does not take water away on its own. |

| Soakaway installation | £660 – £1,200 whole job | MyJobQuote | MyJobQuote puts a typical soakaway at around £850, smaller systems from £660 and larger ones at £1,000–£1,200. HomeHow gives £700–£1,000 for the same job. Most likely on clay ground, or when laying over a non-permeable base. |

| Dropped kerb | £370 – £2,000 whole job | HomeHow | The widest disagreement of any figure on this site. HomeHow says the work starts from £300 plus a £70–£100 council application; MyJobQuote puts the average at around £2,000. It is council-dependent, and it is a separate job from the driveway. |
