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 quote we prepare in Stalybridge says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Homes in Stalybridge range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Projects we quote in and around Stalybridge include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Stalybridge
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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
