Resin bound driveways across Gwynedd
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.
It is not a cure for a bad base. Resin bound copies whatever is underneath it, so cracks, soft spots and failed edges in the old surface come straight back through. Most of the survey is spent deciding whether the existing tarmac or concrete is good enough to overlay, or whether it needs digging out.
Projects we quote in and around Bangor include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive.
Prices in Gwynedd
For North Wales, where typical costs are below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Resin bound driveways: £40–£110 per m².
Worked example: a 26 m² drive in Gwynedd laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,050–£1,650. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £1,750–£2,850.
Planning in Gwynedd
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.
Weather and working days
North Wales ranges from mild coastal towns to wetter upland areas, so drainage and laying days are planned with the weather in mind. Laying days in Bangor are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
