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 Belfast we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Housing in Belfast ranges from Victorian terraces to post-war semis and newer estates, and drive sizes vary just as much.
Across County Antrim, the projects we price include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Belfast
Guide prices for Belfast are based on Northern Ireland rates, which are below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
For a 26 m² drive in Belfast: about £1,050–£1,600 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £1,700–£2,750 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Belfast
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.
General information for Northern Ireland, not legal advice.
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
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.
