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 Wigan says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Drives in Wigan range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Wigan include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Wigan
Guide prices for Wigan 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.
Worked example: a 28 m² drive in Wigan laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £900–£1,450. The same area with a dig-out and new base would be nearer £1,700–£2,600.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |

Planning in Wigan
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 Wigan 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.
