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 Kettering says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Many homes in Kettering have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Kettering include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Kettering
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 East Midlands sits around the UK average for rainfall, with a mix of clay vales and lighter ground that changes what the base needs. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
