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 Cookstown says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Around Cookstown, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.

Typical projects we can quote for in Cookstown include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Cookstown

Northern Ireland has its own permitted development order for houses, with conditions on hard surfaces and drainage: the simplest route is a surface that keeps rainwater within your boundary. Resin bonded is not permeable, so on a front garden it needs to drain to a permeable area within your property.

Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas are treated differently, so if any of those apply it is worth checking with your council's planning team before work starts.

General information for Northern Ireland, not legal advice.

Weather and working days

Northern Ireland has frequent rain spread through the year, so laying days are planned around dry spells and permeable builds make sense. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
