Resin bound driveways across Cheshire
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.
Because the stones are bound together rather than stuck on top, the surface is porous. Laid over a permeable base, water passes through it rather than running off onto the road, which is why resin bound can usually be laid across a front garden without planning permission in England.
Projects we quote in and around Warrington include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts.
Prices in Cheshire
Guide prices for Cheshire are based on North West rates, which are a little below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Resin bound driveways: £40–£110 per m².
Typical Cheshire figures for a 49 m² drive: £2,050–£3,200 over sound tarmac or concrete; £3,400–£5,450 with a dig-out and new permeable base. Both include VAT.
Planning in Cheshire
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 North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
