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 Newport, Gwent says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Newport, Gwent, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
In Newport, Gwent we can price work such as swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Newport, Gwent
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
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.
