What resin bonded driveways involve
A resin bonded driveway is a solid base coated with a layer of resin onto which loose aggregate is scattered. The stones stick to the resin, giving a textured, gravel-like finish that is grippy underfoot. Unlike resin bound, it is not permeable.
Any quote we prepare in Luton says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Luton has everything from tight terraced frontages to large suburban drives, so no two quotes look the same.
Across Bedfordshire, the projects we price include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Luton
Guide prices for Luton are based on East of England rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Worked example: a 70 m² drive in Luton laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £2,650–£4,150. The same area with a dig-out and new base would be nearer £4,900–£7,550.

Planning in Luton
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. Resin bonded is not permeable, so on a front garden it needs to drain to a permeable area within your property.
Permitted development rights apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, and some conservation areas have Article 4 directions that remove them. Listed buildings can need consent if railings or historic walls are affected.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Luton jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
