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.
Any quote we prepare in Caerphilly says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Many homes in Caerphilly have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Across Gwent, the projects we price include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Caerphilly
Labour and material costs in South Wales run below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Worked example: a 56 m² drive in Caerphilly laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £2,250–£3,500. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £3,750–£6,000.

Planning in Caerphilly
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
In Wales, new construction with drainage implications covering 100 m² or more can also need approval from the council's SuDS Approving Body (SAB). Most domestic drives are smaller than that, but larger drives and extensions are checked at survey.
General information for Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Gwent, 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.
