Resin bound paving is created by mixing thoroughly dried natural aggregates with a UV-stable polyurethane resin in a forced-action mixer. This ensures every stone particle is fully coated, producing a smooth, seamless, trowel-applied finish that is completely bound — with no loose stones whatsoever.
Unlike gravel or loose stone, resin bound paving is safe underfoot, doesn’t scatter onto paths or roads, and won’t be tracked indoors on shoes. It’s also fully porous, meaning rainwater drains through to the ground below rather than pooling on the surface.
This porosity is important: it means resin bound paving complies with SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) regulations, and in most cases you won’t need planning permission to install it over your existing driveway or front garden.
The result is a beautiful, natural-looking surface available in a huge range of aggregate colours and blends — from warm golds and buffs to cool greys and silvers — that transforms the look of any property.
Resin bound paving offers a combination of practical benefits and visual appeal that no other driveway surface can match. Here’s why thousands of homeowners across Greater Manchester choose it every year.
Rainwater drains directly through the surface, eliminating puddles and meeting planning regulations without the need for additional drainage works.
Every aggregate particle is fully bound. No stones tracked indoors, no scatter onto the road, no damage to lawnmowers or vehicles.
A simple jet wash or brush down is all that’s needed to keep your resin surface looking fresh. No sealing, no re-sanding, no weeding.
The dense, seamless surface gives weeds and moss nowhere to take hold, keeping your driveway looking clean and tidy for years.
We use UV-stable resin that won’t yellow or degrade in sunlight, meaning your chosen aggregate colour stays vibrant for the life of the surface.
The textured finish provides excellent grip in wet conditions, and the porous nature of the surface prevents standing water that can freeze in winter.
Choose from natural stones including Autumn Gold, Pearl, Ivory, Buff, Chestnut, Russet and many more — or create a bespoke blend unique to your home.
A high-quality resin bound driveway significantly enhances kerb appeal and is increasingly valued by estate agents and prospective buyers.
Properly installed on a sound sub-base, resin bound paving can last well over 20 years. We back every installation with a 5-year workmanship guarantee.

The cost depends on the size of the area, the condition of the existing sub-base and your choice of aggregate. As a guide, most residential driveways start from around £50–£80 per square metre fully installed. We offer free, no-obligation written quotations for all projects in Audenshaw and the surrounding area — contact us to arrange yours.
We use UV-stable, two-component polyurethane resin mixed with dried natural aggregates in a forced-action mixer. UV stability is essential — it prevents the resin from yellowing or breaking down in sunlight, keeping your driveway looking great for the long term. We only source resin from approved suppliers who meet BBA and FERFA standards.
In most cases, yes. Resin bound driveways are fully porous — unlike tarmac — meaning they meet SuDS drainage regulations and typically don’t require planning permission. They also offer a far wider range of colours and finishes, better kerb appeal and lower maintenance over time. Tarmac can be a cost-effective option for large areas, but for quality and appearance, resin bound is the superior choice for most Audenshaw homeowners.
A properly installed resin bound driveway laid on a sound sub-base can last well over 20 years with minimal maintenance. The UV-stable resin we use is resistant to fading and degradation, and the natural aggregates retain their colour and texture throughout the life of the surface. We back every installation with a 5-year workmanship guarantee as standard.
Resin bound driveways are generally comparable in price to quality block paving. However, over the longer term they tend to be more cost-effective, as block paving requires periodic re-sanding, weed removal and sealing. Resin bound surfaces need only an occasional jet wash, with no ongoing maintenance costs. The total cost of ownership is typically lower with resin bound.
Yes — resin bound driveways are one of the most durable surfacing options available. When correctly installed on a permeable sub-base, they can last 20+ years. The key factors are quality materials and professional installation — both of which we guarantee on every job in Audenshaw and across Tameside.
Resin bound surfacing can be laid on a structurally sound, existing tarmac or concrete base, provided it is stable and level. It can also be installed on a new permeable macadam or SuDS-compliant sub-base. We always survey the existing surface first to assess suitability — if the base isn’t suitable, we’ll recommend full excavation to ensure the best long-term result.
These are two very different systems. With resin bound, the aggregate is mixed thoroughly with resin before application, creating a smooth, seamless, fully porous surface with no loose stones. With resin bonded, resin is applied to the base first and aggregate is scattered on top — this can leave loose stones on the surface and is not porous. We install resin bound surfacing only, as it is the superior, more durable and more practical system.
