Resin bound driveways across Tyne and Wear
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.
Resin bound is the system most people mean when they ask for a resin driveway. The aggregate and resin are weighed, mixed on site in a forced-action mixer, then spread and finished with steel trowels in one continuous pour, so there are no joints for weeds to root in.
In Newcastle upon Tyne 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 overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive.
Prices in Tyne and Wear
Guide prices for Tyne and Wear are based on North East rates, which are below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Resin bound driveways: £40–£105 per m².
As a guide, a 34 m² drive in the NE area would be around £1,350–£2,100 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £2,250–£3,650 with a dig-out and new permeable base.
Planning in Tyne and Wear
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 North East has cool winters, so resin is laid in the warmer months or on dry, mild days when ground and air are above about 5°C. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
