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 resin job in Finchley starts the same way: we check whether your existing surface is sound enough to overlay or needs digging out, because that decides both the price and how long the surface lasts. Finchley mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Typical projects we can quote for in Finchley include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Finchley
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Finchley jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
