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 Caerphilly we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Many homes in Caerphilly have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Caerphilly include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Caerphilly
Labour and material costs in South Wales run below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
For a 63 m² drive in Caerphilly: about £1,950–£3,100 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £3,650–£5,600 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new base.

Planning in Caerphilly
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. Resin bonded is not permeable, so on a front garden it needs to drain to a permeable area within your property.
In Wales, new construction with drainage implications covering 100 m² or more can also need approval from the council's SuDS Approving Body (SAB). Most domestic drives are smaller than that, but larger drives and extensions are checked at survey.
General information for Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Caerphilly jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
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.
