Resin Bound Driveways in West Houghton and the surrounding area
A lot of West Houghton homeowners now choose resin bound when a driveway, path or patio needs replacing, and they choose it for good reasons. It is durable, it looks the part, and there is almost nothing to maintain. The stone is the part you get to decide on, and it runs from warm bronzes and golds to cooler greys and near-whites, with blends where a single colour does not sit right against 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 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
- 01
Assess the base
Resin needs a sound base. We check whether your existing surface can be used or whether it needs laying first.
- 02
Prepare and prime
We prepare the base, deal with any edges and falls, and prime ready for the resin.
- 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
We look at a job properly before we price it, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and you get the same team from the first visit to the last sweep-up. That is worth knowing, because you are trusting someone to dig up the front of your property or take a car park out of use for a few days. We have worked that way for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, West Houghton included.
We are based in Bolton, and the area we work stretches across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. West Houghton and the WN5 postcodes sit close to home in that, so we are there often. Hindley, Leigh, Atherton and Blackrod are covered alongside it, on exactly the same footing.
Over 20 years’ experience
Twenty years of laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West have given us our reputation, and we keep it with quality workmanship and tidy, reliable jobs.
A written, itemised quote
We put the price in writing after the visit, so you know what the job costs before it starts and there are no surprises later.
The base done properly
Most surfaces fail from underneath. We build the base for the ground we find on the day rather than digging every job out to the same spec.
The same people throughout
The people who quote your job are the people who finish it, so you deal with the same team throughout.
Domestic and commercial
We price and plan a single driveway with the same care we give a full car park.
The price
What affects the price
We quote a West Houghton job after a free site visit, because a price worked out on the ground fits the job in front of us far better than one guessed off a description.
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
