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 Coventry, 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. Coventry has everything from tight terraced frontages to large suburban drives, so no two quotes look the same.
In Coventry we can price work such as overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Coventry
Guide prices for Coventry are based on West Midlands rates, which are close to the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Worked example: a 45 m² drive in Coventry laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,600–£2,500. The same area with a dig-out and new base would be nearer £2,900–£4,500.

Planning in Coventry
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 West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. Laying days in Coventry are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
