RESIN DRIVEWAYS IN WEST BROMWICH
If you want a driveway in West Bromwich that looks neat and stays tidy, resin bound is worth a look. There are no loose stones to end up on the pavement, no joints for weeds and no puddles sitting on the surface.
We lay over sound tarmac or concrete where we can, or build a new base where we cannot. The site visit is free, and the price is fixed and in writing.

RESIN ACROSS WEST BROMWICH
On a lot of the semis around Great Barr and Yew Tree, the old concrete drive is still solid underneath. Where that is the case, overlaying with resin saves digging out and keeps the cost down.
If you are adding a new driveway and need a dropped kerb, Sandwell Council handles that. We will measure up with it in mind.
RESIN DRIVES FOR BUSY WEST BROMWICH ROADS
On busier roads around Stone Cross, Charlemont and towards Great Barr, the front edge of a driveway takes a lot of punishment from cars swinging on and off the kerb. With resin we usually set a block or kerb edge along the pavement to take that wear, so the resin itself only carries straight-line traffic.
Clay ground is common across West Bromwich, and it does not drain well. Resin lets water through the surface, but that water still needs somewhere to go underneath. On clay we build the base so the water can move through it and away, rather than sitting under the drive and causing problems in a hard frost.
Around Friar Park, Hateley Heath and Yew Tree, smaller fronts and semis are common. Resin suits those well because it is smooth, easy to sweep and does not show tyre marks the way some block colours can. If your old concrete drive is still solid, overlaying it can save the cost of digging out, and we will tell you honestly on the visit whether yours is good enough.
HOW WE LAY RESIN DRIVEWAYS IN WEST BROMWICH
- Check the existing base, or dig out and build a new one.
- Fit edging so the resin has a firm line to finish against.
- Mix the resin and aggregate on site and trowel it smooth.
- Leave it to cure before you drive on it.
DROPPED KERBS AND PLANNING IN WEST BROMWICH
If your kerb is not already dropped, you need permission from Sandwell Council before you can drive across the pavement in West Bromwich. It is worth applying early, because approval is not instant. We measure up with the kerb in mind so the driveway lines up with it.
Paving more than five square metres of a front garden needs planning permission from Sandwell Council, unless the rainwater drains into a border, a soakaway or a permeable surface on your own property. Resin bound is permeable, so it usually meets that rule on its own.
A lot of West Bromwich semis have their drive right next to the neighbour's, so we agree exactly where the boundary runs before we start and keep that edge straight.
