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 Preston says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Housing in Preston ranges from Victorian terraces to post-war semis and newer estates, and drive sizes vary just as much.
Projects we quote in and around Preston include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Preston
Prices in the North West are a little below the UK average. These are guide ranges including VAT; your quote follows a free survey.
Worked example: a 41 m² drive in Preston laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,350–£2,100. The same area with a dig-out and new base would be nearer £2,500–£3,800.

Planning in Preston
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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
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.
