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 Whitehaven says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plots around Whitehaven are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
In Whitehaven we can price work such as turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Whitehaven

Planning in Whitehaven
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 West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
