Belvoir Contractors installs resin bound driveways in Altrincham for homes across WA14 and WA15, from the Linotype cottages in Broadheath to the larger houses off Hale Road and the semis near John Leigh Park. As resin specialists, we lay every resin bound driveway on a properly prepared base, and we can match it with paths and patios. Resin drives are permeable, smooth underfoot and need very little upkeep.
Nothing is priced from a photo. We visit, measure the frontage, test the existing surface and talk through colours, then put a fixed price in writing with no obligation to go ahead. The crew who arrives is our own, never sub-contractors, and the work is fully insured. Our resin systems come from The Resin Mill, and Brett and Tobermore approve us for the borders and edging we lay.

Customer opinions matter to us. Most of our work comes from recommendations, and here is what customers say.

Resin-bound surfacing gives a smooth, natural stone finish that lets water drain through. Here is what makes it a popular choice.
Rain drains through the surface into the base, so there is less run-off and fewer puddles.
A firm, level finish with no loose stones, comfortable for buggies, wheelchairs and bare feet.
An occasional brush and rinse keeps it looking fresh. No re-sanding or sealing joints.
Natural aggregates and blends from warm bronze to silver grey, with contrasting borders.
Where existing tarmac or concrete is sound, resin can be laid over it after repairs and priming.
Carry the same finish to the front path, steps and patio for a joined-up look.
Patios in AltrinchamWarm bronze and natural buff blends sit well against the red brick of Altrincham's Victorian terraces, while silver grey suits the rendered 1930s houses towards West Timperley. We finish the edges with a granite sett or block border, and the same mix can carry on to the front path, steps and a rear patio. Where the old tarmac is sound and level, we can lay straight over it.


A resin driveway is only as good as what is underneath it. We check the existing surface, build or repair the base, fix a firm edge restraint and lay the resin bound mix at the right depth for cars, using UV-stable resin from The Resin Mill so the colour stays true.
Stones and resin mixed and trowelled smooth. Porous, no loose stones, suitable for driveways.
Resin spread on the surface with stone scattered on top. Not porous, and some loose stone.
Prefer a different finish? Compare block paving in Altrincham or tarmac driveways in Altrincham.
A stable, well-drained surface can often be resin coated after repairs.
Standing water means the base needs work before resin goes down.
Soft spots and sinking need digging out and a new base first.
Block paving is usually lifted and a new base built for resin.




Altrincham has several conservation areas, including The Downs, Goose Green and the Linotype housing in Broadheath, so the colour and edging of a new frontage deserve thought. Resin bound is a good match because it drains through, which means a paved front garden does not need a planning application. Many drives here have old tarmac or concrete underneath. If it is cracked, sunken or lifted by tree roots, we dig it out and build a new open-graded base. Trafford Council deals with any new vehicle crossing.
We also lay resin driveways in these nearby areas, with the same team and the same guarantees.

Resin bound is weed resistant rather than weed free. Nothing grows up through a properly laid surface, but airborne seeds can settle on top and root in surface dirt. A brush, an occasional rinse and a weed killer once or twice a year keep it clean.
Yes, when the base and depth are right. A resin bound surface laid at the correct thickness for vehicles, on a sound base with a firm edge, copes with daily car use and all weathers. We use UV-stable resin so the colour holds rather than yellowing.
Often, yes. If the existing tarmac or concrete is sound, stable and drains properly, we repair any cracks, prime it and lay the resin over the top. If it is breaking up, sinking or holds water, we dig out and build a new base first. We check this at your free survey.
Resin bound mixes the stones and resin together and trowels them to a smooth, porous finish, so water drains through. Resin bonded (scatter coat) spreads resin on the surface and scatters stone on top, giving a coarser, non-porous finish with some loose stone. For driveways we lay resin bound.
No two Altrincham frontages cost the same. The biggest factors are the size of the area, whether the existing base can be overlaid or has to be dug out, the aggregate blend you choose and the edging. Conservation details near Goose Green, steps or a new drainage channel also change the price. Call 0161 841 7075 and we will measure up for free.
For most Altrincham homes, yes. A resin finish lets rain soak through, which keeps a paved frontage on the right side of the planning rules and stops water running onto the pavement. It holds well on gentle slopes, suits conservation streets when you pick a natural blend, and leaves no joints for weeds to root in. What matters most is the condition of the base underneath.
Usually not. A resin bound driveway is permeable when laid on a permeable base, so it meets the rules for front gardens in England that apply to hard surfaces over 5 square metres. Listed buildings and some conservation streets have extra controls, and we flag these at your survey.
