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.
In Tonypandy, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. Tonypandy mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Typical projects we can quote for in Tonypandy include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Tonypandy

Planning in Tonypandy
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.
General information for Wales, not legal advice.
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.
