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.
Before quoting in Falmouth we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Many homes in Falmouth have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Falmouth include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Falmouth
For the South West, where typical costs are above the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
For a 54 m² drive in Falmouth: about £2,000–£3,200 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £3,750–£5,800 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new base.

Planning in Falmouth
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 South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
