What resin bound driveways involve
A resin bound driveway is a surface of natural stone aggregate mixed with clear polyurethane resin and trowelled by hand to a depth of around 18 mm on driveways. Every stone is fully coated, so the finish is smooth, has no loose gravel, and lets rainwater drain straight through it.
Before quoting in Chesham we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. In and around Chesham, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Typical projects we can quote for in Chesham include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Chesham
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. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
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.

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. Laying days in Chesham are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
