Resin Bound Driveways in Oldham and the surrounding area

Resin bound has become a common pick for driveways in Oldham, and it does the same job on paths and patios. People choose it for how long it lasts and how it looks, and because looking after it is largely a matter of brushing it. The stone sets the tone of the finish: bronzes and golds for something warmer, greys and near-whites for something cooler, and the two can be blended.

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 you let anyone dig up your frontage it helps to know how they operate. We quote from a proper look at the job, we build the base for the ground that is actually under there, and the people who price it are the people who lay it. That is how it has worked for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Oldham with it.

Our base is Bolton and we cover Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Oldham and the OL1 postcodes are regular ground, not an occasional trip. Chadderton, Royton, Shaw, Lees and Failsworth are covered on the same basis as the town.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    Over twenty years laying driveways, patios and commercial surfacing across the North West, with a reputation for work that lasts and sites left clean.

  • A written, itemised quote

    You get the price in writing after we have seen it, itemised, so nothing about the cost changes once the job starts.

  • The base done properly

    Nearly every failure begins below the surface, so the dig-out and sub-base are built for the ground we meet and the traffic it carries.

  • The same people throughout

    The same team from the quote to the finish. No handing over to a crew you have never met.

  • Domestic and commercial

    Driveways and commercial surfacing alike, both costed and planned the same careful way.

The price

What affects the price

Every Oldham quote follows a free site visit. Drainage and the state of what is underneath both move the price, and both need looking at rather than assuming.

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 Chadderton?

Yes. As well as Oldham itself we cover Chadderton, Royton, Shaw, Lees, Failsworth. Call 0161 451 0824 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
