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 Swinton 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 Swinton, 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 building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Swinton
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 55 m² drive in Swinton laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £2,300–£3,600. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £3,850–£6,150.

Planning in Swinton
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Swinton jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
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.
