The Surface

What Is Resin Bound Paving?

Simply put, resin bound paving is a porous paving option that can be used on driveways, patios, and even pathways in your garden or landscape.

It’s important not to confuse this technique with resin bonded surfacing, where the gravel can become loose over time due to the thin layer of resin applied before the aggregate is spread.

Resin bound paving offers a longer-lasting solution because the aggregate is completely mixed with resin before being laid, ensuring a fully bound surface. This surfacing typically consists of washed, natural aggregate stones and a UV-stable resin. The result is a durable, easy-to-clean surface that’s ideal for driveways, patios, and footpaths.

In Cheadle Hulme and across Greater Manchester, this type of paving is increasingly sought-after due to its superior visual appeal and ability to increase the value of any property.

The Benefits

Why Go With Resin Bound Paving?

In addition to being an economical paving method that is flexible and resistant to cracking, resin bound paving offers many benefits that make it the ideal solution in Cheadle Hulme. The Environment Agency consistently recommends its use, especially for large areas, as it helps to mitigate flooding.

1

UV Protection

UV-stable resin means your surface won’t fade or lose its colour over time, staying vibrant for the life of the installation.

2

Custom Driveways

Create a driveway with a unique design. A wide selection of aggregate colours and sizes are available, complete with contrasting edging.

3

Porous & Anti-Slip

Fully porous and anti-slip properties ensure safety and effective water drainage year-round, meeting SuDS regulations.

4

No Sinking Sections

No more worrying about sections of your driveway sinking. A properly installed resin bound surface on a sound sub-base stays level.

5

Fluid Resistant

Resistant to fluids such as diesel, petrol, and oil — ideal for driveways where vehicles are regularly parked.

6

Very Low Maintenance

Very little maintenance required all year round. A simple jet wash is all that’s needed to keep your surface looking pristine.

7

Weed-Free Surface

Weeds cannot thrive on a resin bound surface. The seamless, fully bound finish leaves nowhere for weeds or moss to take hold.

8

No Planning Permission

No planning permission required in most cases due to the surface’s porous nature — unlike block paving, concrete, or tarmac.

9

Long-Lasting — 25+ Years

When properly installed and maintained, resin bound paving can easily endure for over 25 years. We back every installation with a 5-year guarantee.

It can be challenging to provide a precise cost per square metre for resin driveways, as each project comes with unique factors and requirements. However, as a general guide, most projects typically start from around £40 per square metre. The final price will depend on factors such as the size of the area, the condition of the existing surface, and the type of aggregate chosen. Contact us for a free, detailed written quotation.

There are two primary types of resin used in driveway installations: epoxy and polyurethane. Epoxy is rarely used in the driveway construction market these days, as it doesn’t provide the same load-bearing capacity and strength as polyurethane. Polyurethane resin incorporates polymers to enhance strength and durability. We specifically use UV-resistant resin, tailored to the colour of the stone, ensuring long-lasting performance and appearance.

A resin bound driveway is an attractive alternative to tarmac, offering much greater durability and resilience. Its naturally eye-catching appearance provides a refreshing contrast to the bland, dull look of tarmac, asphalt, or concrete. Resin bound is also fully porous, meaning it meets SuDS drainage regulations and typically doesn’t require planning permission — unlike tarmac.

Resin bound paving is a long-lasting, durable surface. While warranties typically range from 10 to 21 years, when properly installed and maintained, it can easily endure for over 25 years. It requires minimal upkeep, with no weeds to remove or loose stones to sweep. We back every installation in Cheadle Hulme with a 5-year workmanship guarantee.

When it comes to cost, block paving prices can vary significantly, even for the same product. In contrast, resin bound stone prices are generally more consistent and typically much more affordable than block paving. Resin driveways are especially cost-effective when there is a suitable, solid substrate to work with. For pedestrian traffic areas, resin can even be laid on a flag or mot base.

Yes, resin driveways are highly durable. They are made up of several combinations of ingredients, such as natural aggregates, stones, and recycled glass, making them long-lasting. Water doesn’t damage these driveways because the materials are permeable, allowing moisture to pass through rather than pooling on the surface.

Tarmac and concrete are the most suitable bases for resin driveways. The permeable resin bound materials can be laid directly onto an existing tarmac surface if it remains in good condition, or on a newly installed tarmac surface after an appropriate curing period. We always survey the existing surface first to assess suitability before recommending the best approach.

Resin Bound Gravel is a trowel-applied process where specific aggregates are blended with resin and laid to create a smooth, level surface with no loose stones. It is fully porous and the superior long-term solution. Resin Bonded Gravel, on the other hand, involves scattering the selected aggregate over a resin base, creating a textured appearance with loose stones adhered to the surface. We install resin bound surfacing only.
