Resin bonded driveways across Mid Glamorgan
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.
Across Mid Glamorgan, the projects we price include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put.
Prices in Mid Glamorgan
Labour and material costs in South Wales run below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Resin bonded driveways: £30–£90 per m².
For a 24 m² drive in Mid Glamorgan: about £850–£1,350 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £1,600–£2,450 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new base.
Planning in Mid Glamorgan
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.
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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
