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 Leatherhead says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Homes in Leatherhead range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Leatherhead include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Leatherhead
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 East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Leatherhead jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
