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 Wolverhampton we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Across Wolverhampton, many front drives are compact, so access, skips and parking for the crew are planned at survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Wolverhampton include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Wolverhampton
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in the West Midlands, 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.
