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 Portishead we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Many homes in Portishead have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Portishead we can price work such as replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Portishead
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 South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Somerset, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
