Resin Driveways in Dunston
WM Driveways is a Newcastle-based team covering Dunston and the surrounding Gateshead Council area. We specialise in resin bound driveways and treat every job — from a small NE11 frontage to a full-property overhaul — with the same attention to detail.
The short version
Resin Driveways works in Dunston generally break down into three phases: careful prep, correct sub-base, and a well-detailed surface. Skip any one and the job looks fine for a summer, then starts to move.
On this page we've set out how WM Driveways approaches resin driveway in the NE11 area — the choices you'll actually be making, and the local factors we plan around before a spade goes in the ground.
Where this works best
What this surface does well
Working in your area
Dunston is characterised by riverside residential streets near the MetroCentre and Team Valley. That means we tailor the spec to the street rather than dropping in an off-the-shelf build. We routinely work across Gateshead and Whickham too, so we know the streets, the access constraints and the type of resin driveway spec that actually holds up here.

Frequently asked questions
Are you insured?+
Yes. We carry public liability insurance and are happy to share a copy of the certificate with your quote.
Do I need planning permission?+
For most private residential resin bound driveways the answer is no, provided the surface is permeable or drains to a soakaway within the property. We'll flag anything unusual before we start.
Do you take a deposit?+
A modest deposit secures the start date and covers materials being ordered. The balance is due on completion, once you've walked the job with us.
Do you offer a guarantee?+
We stand behind our workmanship and manufacturer product warranties apply on the surfaces themselves — we'll set the specifics out clearly in your quote.
What about drainage and SUDS?+
Fully permeable resin bound systems drain in-situ so no soakaway is needed.
