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 Taunton we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Taunton mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Taunton we can price work such as swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Taunton
For the South West, where typical costs are above the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
As a guide, a 51 m² drive in the TA1 area would be around £1,900–£3,000 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £3,550–£5,450 with a dig-out and new base.

Planning in Taunton
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 South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Somerset, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
