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 Salford we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Salford, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
Projects we quote in and around Salford include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Salford
Guide prices for Salford are based on North West rates, which are a little below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Typical Salford figures for a 25 m² drive: £800–£1,300 over sound tarmac or concrete; £1,500–£2,300 with a dig-out and new base. Both include VAT.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Resin bonded driveways | £35–£95 per m² |
| Resin over tarmac and concrete | £40–£65 per m² |
| Driveway drainage and soakaways | £45–£100 per linear metre |
Based on North West rates. See the full price guide or price your own project.
Planning in Salford
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Greater Manchester, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
