Resin Bound Driveways in Altrincham and the surrounding area

Resin bound surfacing has become a first choice for a lot of homeowners in Altrincham, and it goes down on driveways, paths and patios alike. It wears well, it holds its looks for years rather than months, and it is about as low maintenance as a driveway gets. The stone is where the choice lies: warm bronzes and golds at one end, cooler greys and near-whites at the other, and blends of the two where you want something less off the shelf.

Resin bound is small stone mixed with a high-strength resin and laid as one continuous surface. We lay resin bound driveways over a properly prepared base, trowel to a smooth finish, leaving a fully permeable surface, so rain drains through it rather than running off towards the house. There are no joints for weeds to come up through and no loose stone to scatter. It takes daily car use and foot traffic, and where the base underneath is sound it can sometimes be laid over the top, which keeps the cost down.

What’s included

  • A sound base prepared or laid to take the resin
  • Resin bound aggregate trowelled to a seamless finish
  • A permeable surface with no loose stone
  • Edgings and detailing around the perimeter
  • A choice of aggregate colour chosen at quote stage

How we do it

  1. 01

    Assess the base

    Resin needs a sound base. We check whether your existing surface can be used or whether it needs laying first.

  2. 02

    Prepare and prime

    We prepare the base, deal with any edges and falls, and prime ready for the resin.

  3. 03

    Mix and trowel

    We mix the resin and aggregate on site and trowel it to a smooth, even, permeable finish.

Why us

Why choose THB Contractors

We have been laying driveways and surfacing across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire for over 20 years, and we work in Altrincham regularly. You are trusting us to dig up the front of your house, or to take a car park out of use for a few days, so it helps to know how we work before you commit. We look at the job properly before we price it, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and you see the same team from the first visit to the last sweep-up.

We are based in Bolton and work right across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Altrincham and the WA14 postcodes are part of that patch, and we are there regularly rather than now and then. The villages around it are covered on the same basis: Dunham Town, High Legh, Over Tabley, Smithy Green and Peover Heath are all within reach.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    We have spent two decades laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West, and we have built our name on quality workmanship and tidy, reliable jobs.

  • A written, itemised quote

    We come out and look at the job first, then put the price in writing, so nothing surprises you once the work starts.

  • The base done properly

    Most surfaces fail from underneath. We build the base for the ground we find on your job, not to a one-size dig-out.

  • The same people throughout

    You deal with the same team all the way through, from the quote visit to the day we finish and clear the site.

  • Domestic and commercial

    We take on everything from a single driveway to a full car park, and we price and plan each one the same careful way.

The price

What affects the price

We price every Altrincham job after a free site visit, so what you get is a price for the work in front of us rather than a guess worked out from a description.

The main things that move the figure:

  • Whether a new base is needed or an existing one can be used
  • The area and the aggregate chosen
  • Edge detailing and falls
  • Access for mixing and materials

Common questions

Is resin bound permeable?

Yes. Resin bound is laid over a permeable base so surface water soaks through rather than running off, which usually avoids the need for extra works.

Does resin fade or go loose?

Resin bound is a fixed, trowelled surface, so there is no loose stone. A quality UV-stable resin holds its colour; we go through the options at the visit.

Can resin be laid over my existing driveway?

Only where the surface underneath is sound and well drained. Where it is not, we prepare or replace the base first — laying resin over a failing base is a false economy.
