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 Westhoughton we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Westhoughton mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Typical projects we can quote for in Westhoughton include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Westhoughton
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. Laying days in Westhoughton are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
How it works
Get a guide price online, book a free survey, receive an itemised written quote, then agree a date. Most drives over a ready base are laid in a day.
