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 Birkenhead says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Housing in Birkenhead ranges from Victorian terraces to post-war semis and newer estates, and drive sizes vary just as much.
Projects we quote in and around Birkenhead include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Birkenhead
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. Laying days in Birkenhead are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
