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 Newton Aycliffe we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Newton Aycliffe mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Newton Aycliffe we can price work such as adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Newton Aycliffe
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 East has cool winters, so resin is laid in the warmer months or on dry, mild days when ground and air are above about 5°C. Laying days in Newton Aycliffe are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
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.
