Resin bound driveways across Shropshire
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.
In Telford we can price work such as replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts.
Prices in Shropshire
Labour and material costs in the West Midlands run close to the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Resin bound driveways: £45–£120 per m².
For a 67 m² drive in Shropshire: about £3,000–£4,700 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £5,000–£8,050 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.
Planning in Shropshire
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.
Weather and working days
The West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Telford jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
