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 Farnworth we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Farnworth mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Greater Manchester, the projects we price include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Farnworth
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.
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.

Dropped kerb consent comes from your council as local highway authority. We help with the application and get your drive ready to meet the new crossing.
