Why Whalley Range Residents Choose Classic Stone Driveways
When you choose Classic Stone Driveways for your resin driveway installation, you’re selecting genuine local expertise and quality workmanship.
Operating across Manchester, we serve the tree-lined streets and character properties from Alexandra Park through to Withington. Our experienced team knows every aspect of this vibrant area, understands the unique considerations of Victorian and Edwardian properties, and delivers the professional service that only a well-established Greater Manchester company can confidently provide.
Perfect for M16’s Character Properties
From Victorian villas to modern developments, we understand every architectural style in the neighbourhood.
Victorian & Edwardian Homes
The stunning period properties throughout the area often feature generous driveways where traditional surfacing shows its age. Resin bound finishes perfectly complement red brick facades and original architectural features – no loose stones damaging period brickwork, and seamless surfaces that maintain the property’s elegant character.
The smooth, continuous surface runs right to property edges, maximising parking capacity whilst respecting the heritage aesthetic that defines these beautiful homes.
Semi-Detached & Detached Properties
The substantial family homes across the district typically feature longer driveways requiring durable, cost-effective solutions. From £50 per m² plus groundwork costs for overlay applications, resin bound surfacing transforms tired concrete or tarmac bases without expensive excavation work.
Our flexible polyurethane resin system naturally accommodates minor ground movement – particularly valuable for properties on Manchester’s varied soil types – preventing the cracking issues associated with rigid paving materials.
Contemporary Developments
Modern properties throughout the area demand sleek, minimalist finishes. Our slate grey and graphite aggregate combinations deliver sophisticated aesthetics whilst meeting stringent sustainable drainage requirements.
With Manchester’s considerable rainfall, permeable surfacing provides essential drainage compliance – particularly important given the area’s combined sewer infrastructure and Manchester City Council’s strict surface water management regulations.
Managing Manchester’s Drainage Requirements
The M16 area requires effective drainage solutions to handle Greater Manchester’s substantial rainfall.
Traditional impermeable driveways compound Greater Manchester’s considerable 867mm annual rainfall, creating surface water pooling and increased flood risk. Our resin bound systems drain at rates exceeding 850mm per hour – even the most intense downpours disperse immediately through the permeable surface.
Planning Exemption
Planning permission unnecessary for SuDS-compliant permeable surfaces regardless of size (Manchester City Council confirms this exemption applies across the city).
Infrastructure Relief
Water permeates naturally into substrates, reducing strain on the district’s combined sewer system infrastructure.
Winter Safety
Eliminating standing water prevents dangerous ice formation – essential for the tree-lined avenues and sloping drives common throughout the neighbourhood.
Complete M16 District Coverage
Full service throughout Whalley Range and surrounding Manchester communities
Central Whalley Range
Covering the heart of the neighbourhood around Upper Chorlton Road and College Road, these streets feature magnificent Victorian properties with mature front gardens. Popular aggregate choices include Golden Amber and Autumn Bronze, perfectly complementing the traditional red brick architecture.
Alexandra Park Area
The prestigious streets surrounding Alexandra Park, including substantial Edwardian and Victorian villas with generous driveways. We regularly complete installations here, with overlay applications particularly suited to refurbishing existing bases whilst maintaining the area’s distinguished character.
Withington Border
Residential areas towards Withington featuring mixed property styles from period homes to contemporary developments. Overlay installations on sound concrete foundations prove cost-effective, delivering significant savings compared to complete excavation.
Old Trafford Border
Properties along the Old Trafford boundary require contemporary drainage solutions. Our permeable resin bound surfaces exceed Manchester City Council’s sustainable drainage specifications whilst providing attractive, long-lasting finishes.
Chorlton Boundary
Adjacent areas towards Chorlton featuring tree-lined streets where drainage becomes critical. Our installations incorporate proper fall gradients and permeable surfaces, preventing water accumulation whilst maintaining aesthetic excellence.
Moss Side Adjacent
Neighbouring properties including period buildings and modern developments. These installations often require specialist groundwork expertise – our experience with varied substrates ensures successful outcomes across all property types.

Investment Value for Local Homeowners
Property values in the M16 area range from £250,000-£425,000 (2024 figures). Local estate agents consistently report that premium driveways significantly enhance kerb appeal and property valuations. With our competitive pricing, the investment return proves highly attractive.
Consider long-term maintenance savings too. Traditional block paving settles and separates over time, requiring expensive re-laying within a decade. Resin bound surfaces naturally accommodate ground movement, maintaining their appearance for extended periods with minimal maintenance required.

Tailored to Local Properties

Homes with established gardens demand careful working practices to protect mature planting.
Our installation teams arrive punctually and work professionally. We understand access considerations on tree-lined residential streets, coordinating carefully with neighbours and minimising disruption. Equipment selection suits each situation; compact machinery for restricted access common in Victorian streets.

Customer Testimonials
What our Greater Manchester clients say about our service
Fantastic service right from the off. Great lads, respectful and lovely lads. Clean workers, minimal fuss. Would definitely recommend, can’t fault at all. 5* Service 5* Quality of work 5* Overall Experience
Excellent service from start to finish. Brilliant communication from the off and a very competitive quote given. These works included the additional challenge of removing a large, deep rooted tree from our driveway which they were able to remove without issue. They left the site spotless, with all waste material removed professionally. We’re very happy with the finish and would highly recommend this company to anyone who’s looking for reliable, trustworthy and competent people to come and transform their property. Once again, thank you.
Dealing with Warren was really easy and this was important as the work was for my mother in law. Brenda. She recently lost her husband and was wary of dealing with people. Warren was very understanding and his team very respectful and hard working. She is really pleased with the resin pathway and the high quality of the work undertaken.
