What resin bonded driveways involve
A resin bonded driveway is a solid base coated with a layer of resin onto which loose aggregate is scattered. The stones stick to the resin, giving a textured, gravel-like finish that is grippy underfoot. Unlike resin bound, it is not permeable.
Before quoting in Irvine we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Homes in Irvine range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
In Irvine we can price work such as overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Irvine
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. Resin bonded is not permeable, so on a front garden it needs to drain to a permeable area within your property.
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. Laying days in Irvine are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
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.
