Resin Bound Driveways in Stockport and the surrounding area

Around Stockport, resin bound is now one of the first finishes people look at when a drive needs replacing. It is hard-wearing, it looks well against most houses, and the upkeep is close to nothing. What separates it from a plain surface is the stone in it, and there is a wide range of that: warm bronzes and golds at one end, cooler greys and near-whites at the other, with blends in between.

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

You are handing someone the front of your property for a few days, so how they work matters. We look at the job before we price it, we build the base to suit the ground rather than to a set depth, and the team that quotes is the team that lays. That has been the way for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Stockport with it.

We work out of Bolton, covering Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Stockport and the SK1 postcodes fall inside that comfortably, and we are there regularly. Heaton Chapel, Heaton Norris, Edgeley, Davenport and Reddish are covered on the same terms.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    More than twenty years of driveways, patios and commercial surfacing across the North West, with a reputation for solid work and a tidy site.

  • A written, itemised quote

    After the visit the price arrives in writing and itemised, so the cost is settled before anyone lifts a spade.

  • The base done properly

    The base is what fails first, so we size the dig-out and the sub-base for the ground in front of us and the weight going on it.

  • The same people throughout

    The same people right through, from the day we price it to the day we sweep up.

  • Domestic and commercial

    From one driveway to a full commercial car park, approached and costed the same way.

The price

What affects the price

Every Stockport quote comes after a free site visit. On a sloping plot the falls and the drainage change the work, and those are things to measure rather than estimate.

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 Heaton Chapel?

Yes. As well as Stockport itself we cover Heaton Chapel, Heaton Norris, Edgeley, Davenport, Reddish. Call 0161 451 0824 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
