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.
In Newburn, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. Homes in Newburn range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Projects we quote in and around Newburn include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Newburn
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Tyne and Wear, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
