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 Kendal says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Homes in Kendal range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Kendal include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Kendal
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 36 m² drive in the LA8 area would be around £1,150–£1,850 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £2,200–£3,350 with a dig-out and new base.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Resin bonded driveways | £35–£95 per m² |
| Resin patios | £40–£110 per m² |
| Permeable SuDS driveways | £70–£110 per m² |

Planning in Kendal
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 Kendal jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
