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 Abingdon, 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. Many homes in Abingdon have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Abingdon we can price work such as 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.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Abingdon
Labour and material costs in the South East run above the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Worked example: a 65 m² drive in Abingdon laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £2,550–£4,000. The same area with a dig-out and new base would be nearer £4,750–£7,300.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |

| Resin over tarmac and concrete | £50–£80 per m² |
| Dropped kerb applications | about £1,000–£2,500 per crossing, set by the highway authority |

Planning in Abingdon
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 South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Oxfordshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
