Resin Bound Driveways in Wigan and the surrounding area

Resin bound has become a common choice for driveways in Wigan, and it is used on paths and patios just as often. People pick it for how long it lasts and how it looks, and it takes very little effort to keep. The colour comes from the aggregate itself rather than a coating, so there is a proper range to choose from: warm bronzes and golds, greys, near-whites, and blends where you want something a little different.

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

We have been laying driveways and surfacing in Wigan and across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire for over 20 years. You are trusting someone 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 first. We look at the job properly before we price it, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and the same team is with you from the first visit to the last sweep-up.

Wigan and the WN1 postcodes are somewhere we work regularly. Our base is in Bolton, covering Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, and that reaches out past Wigan to Up Holland, Skelmersdale, Burscough, Downholland Cross and Aughton. All of them are covered from the same base as the town.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    We have laid driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West for two decades, and people know us for quality workmanship and reliable, tidy jobs.

  • A written, itemised quote

    We come and see the job, then give you the price in writing, so there are no surprises once we start work.

  • The base done properly

    Most surfaces fail from underneath, so we build the base for the ground we actually find rather than one standard dig-out for every job.

  • The same people throughout

    You get the same team from the quote to the last day, so the people who priced the job are the people doing it.

  • Domestic and commercial

    We handle a single driveway and a full car park the same way, planning and pricing each with the same care.

The price

What affects the price

We price Wigan jobs after a free site visit rather than off a description, so what you are quoted is based on the work that is actually in front of us.

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 Up Holland?

Yes. As well as Wigan itself we cover Up Holland, Skelmersdale, Burscough, Downholland Cross, Aughton. Call 01942 502397 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
