Resin bonded driveways across Fife
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.
Because only one layer of stone is held, some stones will come loose over the first months and the surface is less forgiving of heavy turning. That is the trade-off for a lower price per square metre.
Typical projects we can quote for in Dunfermline include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden.
Prices in Fife
Guide prices for Fife are based on Fife rates, which are below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Resin bonded driveways: £30–£90 per m².
As a guide, a 51 m² drive in the KY area would be around £1,600–£2,500 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £2,950–£4,550 with a dig-out and new base.
Planning in Fife
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
Fife is fairly dry for Scotland, but frost and cold snaps mean resin is laid in suitable conditions only. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
