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 Yate we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. In and around Yate, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
In Yate we can price work such as adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Yate
Guide prices for Yate are based on South West rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Worked example: a 59 m² drive in Yate laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £2,850–£4,400. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £4,750–£7,600.

Planning in Yate
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 South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Gloucestershire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
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.
