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 Heywood 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 Heywood have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Heywood we can price work such as adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Heywood
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.
Worked example: a 34 m² drive in Heywood laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,100–£1,750. The same area with a dig-out and new base would be nearer £2,050–£3,150.

| Resin bonded driveways | £35–£95 per m² |
| Resin driveway cleaning | £75–£185 per visit |
| Resin patios | £40–£110 per m² |

Planning in Heywood
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 Heywood jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
