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.
Before quoting in Oakham we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. In and around Oakham, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Typical projects we can quote for in Oakham include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Oakham
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.
How it works
