What new resin driveways (full dig-out) involves
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.
Before quoting in Dunfermline we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Dunfermline mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Dunfermline we can price work such as framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Dunfermline
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.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Fife is fairly dry for Scotland, but frost and cold snaps mean resin is laid in suitable conditions only. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Fife, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
