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.
In Irlam, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. In and around Irlam, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
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 replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Irlam
For the North West, where typical costs are a little below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Worked example: a 58 m² drive in Irlam laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £2,450–£3,800. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £4,050–£6,450.

Planning in Irlam
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. Laying days in Irlam are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
