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 resin job in Gelligaer starts the same way: we check whether your existing surface is sound enough to overlay or needs digging out, because that decides both the price and how long the surface lasts. Plots around Gelligaer are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
In Gelligaer we can price work such as replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Gelligaer
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.
