What resin patios involve
A resin patio is a resin bound surface laid in a garden for seating and dining areas. Because it is trowelled in one piece, it has no joints for weeds or ants, it can follow curves easily, and it can be laid over sound concrete or old slabs that are solidly bedded.
Any quote we prepare in Bishop Auckland says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Bishop Auckland mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across County Durham, the projects we price include replacing rocking patio slabs with a seamless resin patio, laying a curving path through a back garden and laying a cool, pale surround for a garden pool. More about resin patios.

Planning in Bishop Auckland
Patios, paths and steps in a rear garden are generally permitted development for houses. Listed buildings, flats and raised platforms are the main exceptions, and any part that is in front of the house follows the front-garden drainage rules.
General information for England, not legal advice.
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 County Durham, but dry, mild winter days can work too.

Can you lay resin in Bishop Auckland in winter?
On dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, yes. 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.
Do I need planning permission in Bishop Auckland?
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.
