Driveway extensions and widening across Dunbartonshire

A driveway extension adds new hard-standing to an existing drive, usually by taking in part of the front garden, so more cars can park off the road. The new area needs its own excavation and base, and the whole drive is often resurfaced in resin so old and new match.

Resurfacing the old and new areas together in one resin bound pour avoids a visible join and gives you one even colour across the whole drive.

In Bearsden we can price work such as swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build.

Driveway extensions and widening: £65–£105 per m².

For a 45 m² drive in Dunbartonshire, built with a dig-out and new permeable base, expect roughly £3,000–£4,800 including VAT before any drainage or kerb work.

Planning in Dunbartonshire

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.

If cars will cross the pavement in a new place, or the crossing needs widening, consent is needed from your council as roads authority before any kerb work.

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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
