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 Whitley Bay says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Whitley Bay mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around Whitley Bay include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Whitley Bay

Planning in Whitley Bay
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 North East has cool winters, so resin is laid in the warmer months or on dry, mild days when ground and air are above about 5°C. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Tyne and Wear, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
