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 Preston we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Preston has everything from tight terraced frontages to large suburban drives, so no two quotes look the same.
Across Lancashire, the projects we price include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Preston
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.
For a 71 m² drive in Preston: about £2,950–£4,600 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £4,950–£7,900 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Preston
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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
