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 Rhondda we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Rhondda mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Typical projects we can quote for in Rhondda include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Rhondda
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
