Resin Bound Driveways in Salford and the surrounding area

Resin bound surfacing is a popular choice in Salford for driveways, and the same material works on a path or a patio. It is tough, it looks smart, and keeping it that way takes very little. The stone is where the character comes from, and there is plenty of it to pick between: warm bronzes and golds, cooler greys and near-whites, or a blend of two chosen against the house.

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 take up the front of your property is worth a few questions first. We price off a visit, we build the base for the ground we actually find rather than to one depth, and the same team sees the job through. That is how we have worked for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Salford included.

We are based in Bolton and cover Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Salford and the M6 postcodes are close ground for us and we are there regularly. Pendleton, Weaste, Seedley, Irlams o’ th’ Height and Broughton are covered on the same basis.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    Over twenty years of driveways, patios and commercial surfacing across the North West, with a reputation for careful work and clean sites.

  • A written, itemised quote

    The price comes in writing after the visit, itemised, so the figure you agree to is the figure you pay.

  • The base done properly

    Failures start below the surface, so the sub-base is built for the ground we find and the weight it has to take.

  • The same people throughout

    The same people from the quote to the finish, not a crew you meet on day one.

  • Domestic and commercial

    One driveway or a full commercial car park, both planned and costed the same way.

The price

What affects the price

Every Salford quote follows a free site visit. Ground conditions vary street to street round here, and what is under the old surface is what sets the cost of the base.

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 Pendleton?

Yes. As well as Salford itself we cover Pendleton, Weaste, Seedley, Irlams o’ th’ Height, Broughton. Call 0161 451 0824 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
