Resin Bound Driveways in Standish and the surrounding area

Resin bound driveways have caught on in Standish, and once you have seen one finished it is easy to understand why. The surface is smooth, it is tough enough to park on every day, and it keeps its colour rather than fading out. The same finish works on paths and patios. The choice of aggregate is wide, running from warm bronzes and golds to greys and near-whites, and a blend of two stones is straightforward enough to lay.

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

You are trusting us to dig up the front of your property, or to take a car park out of use for a few days, so it is worth knowing how we work before you book anything. We have been at it for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Standish included. We take a proper look before we price, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and the same team is on the job from the first visit to the last sweep-up.

Standish and the WN6 postcodes are regular ground for us. We are based in Bolton, and the area we work covers Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, which puts the villages either side of Standish inside it as well. Wrightington Bar, Eccleston, Newburgh, Mawdesley, Pinfold and New Lane are all covered.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    We have laid driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West for over twenty years, and we have earned a reputation for quality workmanship and reliable, tidy jobs.

  • A written, itemised quote

    You get the price in writing once we have seen the job, so there is nothing to surprise you after the work starts.

  • The base done properly

    Because most surfaces fail from underneath, we build the base for the ground we find on site instead of a one-size dig-out.

  • The same people throughout

    You deal with the same team the whole way through, from the visit where we quote to the day we pack up.

  • Domestic and commercial

    We give a single driveway the same planning and pricing as a full car park, so the small jobs are no less carefully run.

The price

What affects the price

We do not price a Standish job off a description. We come out, look at it, and quote from what is actually there, and the site visit costs you nothing.

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.
