Resin bound driveways across County Antrim
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.
It is not a cure for a bad base. Resin bound copies whatever is underneath it, so cracks, soft spots and failed edges in the old surface come straight back through. Most of the survey is spent deciding whether the existing tarmac or concrete is good enough to overlay, or whether it needs digging out.
In Belfast we can price work such as overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface.

Resin bound driveways: £40–£105 per m².
Worked example: a 33 m² drive in County Antrim laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,300–£2,050. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £2,200–£3,500.
Planning in County Antrim
Northern Ireland has its own permitted development order for houses, with conditions on hard surfaces and drainage: the simplest route is a surface that keeps rainwater within your boundary. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas are treated differently, so if any of those apply it is worth checking with your council's planning team before work starts.
Weather and working days
Northern Ireland has frequent rain spread through the year, so laying days are planned around dry spells and permeable builds make sense. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Belfast jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
