Resin Bound Driveways in Bradford and the surrounding area

Resin bound is one of the finishes people in Bradford ask about most, and it goes down on a path or a patio as readily as a drive. It lasts, it holds its colour, and keeping it right takes little more than a sweep. The colour comes from the aggregate itself rather than any coating, so the range to choose from is a real one: bronzes, golds, greys, near-whites, and blends of them.

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 smooth, continuous 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

Before anyone starts breaking up your frontage it is worth knowing how they go about it. We quote off a visit rather than a description, we build the base for the ground that is actually there, and you deal with the same team start to finish. Over 20 years of doing it that way across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Bradford included.

Our base is in Bolton and we cover Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire from it. Bradford and the M11 postcodes are well inside that, and we are over this way regularly. Clayton, Openshaw, Beswick, Miles Platting and Newton Heath are covered from the same base as the town itself.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    Over two decades laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West, and a name built on doing the job properly and leaving the site clean.

  • A written, itemised quote

    You get the cost in writing after the visit, broken down line by line, so there is nothing to argue about later.

  • The base done properly

    Most failures start underneath, so we dig out and build the sub-base around the ground and the traffic, rather than to one depth whatever we find.

  • The same people throughout

    One team from first visit to last. The people who priced your job are the people on it.

  • Domestic and commercial

    Domestic drives and commercial surfacing both, quoted and planned with the same care.

The price

What affects the price

A free site visit comes before every Bradford quote. What the old surface is sitting on makes a real difference to the cost, and that is not something you can tell from the kerb.

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.

Do you offer resin bound driveways near Clayton?

Yes. As well as Bradford itself we cover Clayton, Openshaw, Beswick, Miles Platting, Newton Heath. Call 0161 451 0824 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
