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 Oakham we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Around Oakham, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Across Rutland, the projects we price include 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 Oakham
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 East Midlands sits around the UK average for rainfall, with a mix of clay vales and lighter ground that changes what the base needs. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Rutland, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
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.
