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 Saddleworth 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. Many homes in Saddleworth have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Saddleworth we can price work such as 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 Saddleworth
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
