We install resin bound driveways in Cheadle for homes across SK8, including the interwar semis off Schools Hill, the houses close to Abney Hall and the family streets of Gatley and Heald Green. A resin driveway replaces cracked concrete with a smooth, porous finish that suits the area's brick homes. Our specialists handle the whole job, from survey to sweep-up.
A visit from us costs nothing and commits you to nothing. We measure, look at drainage and check the condition of the old drive, then set out a fixed price in a written quote. Our own team lays every drive we sell, so there are no sub-contractors on site, and we carry full public liability insurance. We are approved by Brett, Tobermore and The Resin Mill.

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 CheadleGolden quartz and warm bronze blends brighten the red brick of Cheadle's 1930s semis, and natural buff suits the cream-rendered houses near Gatley. We usually frame drives with a block border or setts and can carry the resin to the front door, round the side path and onto a patio. If the existing tarmac is level and free of cracks, it may be overlaid.


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.

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.




Cheadle's housing is largely interwar and post-war semis and detached homes with modest frontages and old concrete or crazy-paved drives. Those surfaces tend to crack where the car sits, so they usually need lifting before resin goes down. Older properties near the High Street and St Mary's Church suit a natural blend. Being close to the M60 and the A34, many households want space for two cars. Stockport Council approves dropped kerbs, and we guide you through it. Side drives beside 1930s semis can often be widened at the same time.
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.
A Cheadle resin drive is priced on the area to be covered, the work needed to remove old concrete or crazy paving, and whether the drive is being widened. The aggregate blend, the edging and any dropped kerb also make a difference. We come out free of charge and give you the price in writing. Call 0161 841 7075 to arrange a convenient time.
For most Cheadle semis it is a strong choice. Resin bound drains through, so the frontage complies with the rules on permeable paving and puddles stay away from the door. It suits brick houses, keeps weeds out with no joints and gives a step-free finish. The one thing we check carefully is the old base, which is often too cracked to overlay.
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.
