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 Kirkby says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Kirkby mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Kirkby we can price work such as widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Kirkby
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 45 m² drive in Kirkby laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,900–£2,950. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £3,150–£5,000.

Planning in Kirkby
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 Kirkby jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
