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 Bangor, County Down we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Many homes in Bangor, County Down have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Bangor, County Down we can price work such as replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Bangor, County Down
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. Laying days in Bangor, County Down are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
