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 Barnet we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Many homes in Barnet have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Barnet include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Barnet
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
London is one of the drier parts of the UK, but heavy summer downpours on small, mostly paved plots are exactly what front-garden drainage rules were written for. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
