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 Ashton-in-Makerfield 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 Ashton-in-Makerfield have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Ashton-in-Makerfield we can price work such as building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Ashton-in-Makerfield
Guide prices for Ashton-in-Makerfield are based on North West rates, which are a little below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.

Planning in Ashton-in-Makerfield
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.
