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.
Any quote we prepare in Chippenham says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Chippenham mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around Chippenham include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Chippenham
Labour and material costs in the South West run above the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
As a guide, a 46 m² drive in the SN15 area would be around £2,200–£3,450 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £3,700–£5,900 with a dig-out and new permeable base.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Resin bound driveways | £50–£130 per m² |
| Dropped kerb applications | about £1,000–£2,500 per crossing, set by the highway authority |
| Resin over tarmac and concrete | £50–£75 per m² |

Planning in Chippenham
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 South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. Laying days in Chippenham are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
