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 Inverness we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Many homes in Inverness have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Inverness include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Inverness
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
The Highlands and Islands have short laying seasons and wet, exposed weather, so materials and timing are planned well ahead. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
