Resin Bound Driveways in Manchester and the surrounding area

Resin bound has taken hold in Manchester for driveways, paths and small courtyards alike, and the reasons are usually the same. It wears well, it keeps its appearance rather than fading off, and there is next to nothing to do to maintain it. The stone is where the decisions sit: warm bronzes and golds through to greys and near-whites, or a blend of two picked to suit the brickwork.

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

Letting a contractor dig up the front of your property is a decision, and it is fair to want to know how they work first. We price off a proper look at the job, we build the base for the ground we actually find rather than to a standard depth, and the people who quote it are the people who lay it. That is how we have worked for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Manchester included.

We are based in Bolton and work across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Manchester and the M2 postcodes sit at the middle of that, and we are in the city regularly rather than now and then. Ancoats, Hulme, Ardwick, Collyhurst and Cheetham Hill are covered on the same basis.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    Twenty years and more of driveways, patios and commercial surfacing across the North West, with the work and the tidiness of it the reason most of our jobs come by word of mouth.

  • A written, itemised quote

    The price comes to you in writing once we have seen the job, itemised, so the figure you agree is the figure you pay.

  • The base done properly

    A surface gives way from below long before it shows on top, so the dig-out and the sub-base are sized for the ground we find, not for a standard depth.

  • The same people throughout

    The same faces from the quote through to the final sweep. Nobody gets handed on to a crew you have not met.

  • Domestic and commercial

    A single drive or a commercial car park, both planned and priced the same careful way.

The price

What affects the price

Access does more to a city price than most people expect, so every Manchester quote follows a free site visit. We would rather see how the materials and the muck will get in and out than guess at it.

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 Ancoats?

Yes. As well as Manchester itself we cover Ancoats, Hulme, Ardwick, Collyhurst, Cheetham Hill. Call 0161 451 0824 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
