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.
In Crewe, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Crewe, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
Projects we quote in and around Crewe include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Crewe
Labour and material costs in the North West run a little below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
As a guide, a 56 m² drive in the CW1 area would be around £1,800–£2,850 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £3,400–£5,200 with a dig-out and new base.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |

| Resin bonded driveways | £35–£95 per m² |
| Driveway extensions and widening | £70–£110 per m² |
| Dropped kerb applications | about £1,000–£2,500 per crossing, set by the highway authority |

Planning in Crewe
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 North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Crewe jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
