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 Kirkcaldy 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 Kirkcaldy have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Kirkcaldy 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 turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Kirkcaldy
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Kirkcaldy jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
