Resin bonded driveways across Gloucestershire
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 Gloucester include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts.
Prices in Gloucestershire
Guide prices for Gloucestershire are based on South West rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Resin bonded driveways: £35–£105 per m².
Typical Gloucestershire figures for a 47 m² drive: £1,750–£2,750 over sound tarmac or concrete; £3,250–£5,050 with a dig-out and new base. Both include VAT.
Planning in Gloucestershire
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 South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Gloucester jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
