Resin bonded driveways across Merseyside
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.
The finish looks like a gravel drive but behaves more like a sealed surface. It has excellent grip, which is why it is used on ramps, steep drives and the approaches to junctions, but it is impermeable, so water has to be managed with falls and drainage.
Across Merseyside, the projects we price include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface.
Prices in Merseyside
Prices in the North West are a little below the UK average. These are guide ranges including VAT; your quote follows a free survey.
Resin bonded driveways: £35–£95 per m².
Worked example: a 37 m² drive in Merseyside laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,200–£1,900. The same area with a dig-out and new base would be nearer £2,250–£3,450.
Planning in Merseyside
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Liverpool jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
