Oban is the main centre for our work in Argyll and Bute. Survey visits in Oban cover the PA34, PA37 postcode districts and the surrounding area.
In and around Oban, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length. Projects we quote in and around Oban include building a gentle ramp to a back door, replacing rocking patio slabs with a seamless resin patio and laying a cool, pale surround for a garden pool.

Planning in Oban
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas are treated differently, so if any of those apply we suggest a quick check with your council's planning team before work starts.
Weather and working days
The West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
