Manchester Resin Drives lays driveways for homes in Manchester and across Greater Manchester. Our main work is resin bound driveways, block paving driveways and tarmac driveways. Resin bound is the one in our name: we mix small stones into resin and smooth it out by hand, so every stone is held in place.
What else we lay
As well as driveways, we lay resin patios, resin paths and steps and stone patios. We can lay resin over tarmac and concrete when the old base is sound, and we take on resin driveway repair. If you want a different look, we also lay imprinted concrete driveways, gravel driveways and permeable driveways, and we fit driveway drainage.
Where we work
We work across Manchester and the boroughs around it, from Salford and Stockport to Sale, Bury and Bolton. See the full list of towns on our service area page.
How a job starts
Send us the quote form with your postcode, a line about the job and a rough size if you know it. We come out, measure up and look at the ground, the slope and where the rain will go. You then get a written quote that names the surface, the base we put under it and how deep we dig.
Why we care where the rain goes
Government guidance says a new or replacement drive of any size needs no planning permission if its surface is permeable (or porous), or if the rain runs off to a lawn or border. It says a solid surface over 5 square metres, with nowhere for the water to go, does need planning permission. Manchester City Council's dropped kerb page goes further and says all driveways must be put in using permeable material.
That is why we plan every drive around its drainage before we talk about colours. We lay resin bound on an open stone base that lets water through, and we tell you where the water ends up.
Questions about Manchester Resin Drives
Do you build dropped kerbs?
We lay the drive, and the council decides on the kerb. The Planning Portal says you need a dropped kerb to drive over the pavement onto your property, and that you apply for one to your local council. We can measure up first, so you have the sizes when you apply.
Do you knock on doors?
No, we never knock on doors. Government guidance says casual contractors who knock on your door offering to lay a drive should not be used to build permeable driveways. We come out when you ask us to.
Do you lay resin bonded too?
No, we only lay resin bound. With resin bonded, loose stone is scattered over a coat of resin; we mix every stone in before it goes down.
