Resin bonded driveways across Lancashire
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.
Resin bonded is the scatter-coat system. The resin is rolled onto a solid, sound base, the aggregate is broadcast over it until it is fully covered, and once the resin has cured the excess stone is brushed off and reused.
In Preston we can price work such as adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden.
Prices in Lancashire
Guide prices for Lancashire 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.
Resin bonded driveways: £35–£95 per m².
Worked example: a 58 m² drive in Lancashire laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,900–£2,950. The same area with a dig-out and new base would be nearer £3,500–£5,400.
Planning in Lancashire
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.
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
