Resin bonded driveways across Derbyshire

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.

Resin bonded is the scatter-coat system. The resin is rolled onto a solid, sound base, the aggregate is broadcast over it until it is fully covered, and once the resin has cured the excess stone is brushed off and reused.

Projects we quote in and around Derby include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden.

Prices in Derbyshire

Labour and material costs in the East Midlands run close to the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.

Resin bonded driveways: £35–£100 per m².

For a 62 m² drive in Derbyshire: about £2,150–£3,400 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £4,050–£6,200 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new base.

Planning in Derbyshire

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.

Weather and working days

The East Midlands sits around the UK average for rainfall, with a mix of clay vales and lighter ground that changes what the base needs. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Derby jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
