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.
Any quote we prepare in Peterlee says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. In and around Peterlee, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Projects we quote in and around Peterlee include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Peterlee
Guide prices for Peterlee are based on North East rates, which are below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Worked example: a 25 m² drive in Peterlee laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,000–£1,550. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £1,650–£2,650.

Planning in Peterlee
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.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The North East has cool winters, so resin is laid in the warmer months or on dry, mild days when ground and air are above about 5°C. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
