New resin driveways (full dig-out) across Argyll and Bute
A new resin driveway starts from the ground up: the old surface and soft ground are dug out and taken away, a compacted stone sub-base and a binder course (usually porous asphalt or concrete) are laid, and the resin bound surface goes on top.
Most resin driveway failures come from what is underneath, so a full dig-out is the safest route when the existing drive is block paving, gravel, broken tarmac, cracked concrete or lawn.
In Helensburgh we can price work such as overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts.
Prices in Argyll and Bute
Guide prices for Argyll and Bute are based on West of Scotland rates, which are below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
New resin driveways (full dig-out): £65–£105 per m².
Worked example: a 26 m² drive in Argyll and Bute with a dig-out and new permeable base would typically come to about £1,750–£2,800, including VAT.
Planning in Argyll and Bute
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Helensburgh jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
